Hi there,
I’m imagining it would be super convenient to raise your wrist and add things to your to do list or grocery list.
Does anyone have an Apple Watch compatible app they recommend where you can raise your wrist and add things to your grocery list or to do lists?
Thanks in advance!
The Things app
I used Groceries app for this purpose for a while. After iOS 17/WatchOS 10 I’ve switched to native Reminders and created a shopping list there. It has all the features I need and it syncs better between the phone and the watch (I had several instances when I went to the grocery store without a phone only to discover that the latest changes to my list in Groceries weren’t synced).
Here’s something I do with my grocery reminder list. I put all my regular grocery stores on the list as a location-based reminder and then minimize them, so whenever I get to any of those grocery stores, the list automatically pops up.
And I just have to say to Siri “add potato chips to the walmart list”. You don’t have to say the entire list name.
Microsoft to do is pretty decent
A recent update to reminders will also sort by the section of the store.
I started using AnyList and I generally maintain my weekly grocery list in the webapp and it syncs to the phone and the watch. It is nice once set up, but kinda clunky on the fly. It does add to current list nicely, but that assumes you have a list set up. There is a $10/y sub.
I have not played with the Reminders app for grocery lists, but I believe it can now easily perform that task in spades with the lates update. Will probably try it when my sub for AnyList runs out. At least worth the look before paying for an app/sub. Especially since it is an included app anyway and works across all devices.
- Apple Reminders for tasks and reminders.
- OurGroceries for shopping lists. Have been using it for many years now. And Reminders doesn’t scan barcodes.
My vote is for the native Reminders app, the updates in ios17 are awesome especially for grocery lists. If you set the list to hide completed items your watch will only show current items and as you check them off they are hidden.
My wife and I are using the app “Buy me a pie” for many years and it syncs perfectly between iPhones and AWs. You can make different lists for different shops and the app categorizes automatically. New products are entered once and will be as suggested if entered again. Works super!!!
I like bring. And it works cross sync with android for sharing lists with my wife’s phone
My wife and I are using “Buy me a pie” for years. Sync is perfect even on both watches and app has feature to make multiple lists for multiple stores and also categorizes all groceries.
I’ve been using Things, but may switch to Reminders or Bring now, from what I see in the comments. Lol
Reminders - you don’t need any other app. Raise wrist and tell Siri to add something to your grocery list.
100% this! Plus you can share it with your significant other, so you both can add to the list. Especially helpful if one of you is out shopping and the other realizes something new is needed….just simply add it to the list and it syncs with whomever is out shopping. My wife and I use it ALL THE TIME!
Reminders has been so improved over the years. For me, it’s even better than most paid 3rd party apps. Especially if you’re just looking to reference a shopping list - I used Siri multiple times a day to add!
This! Now with Sections I organize my groceries according to the supermarket aisle so that I can get everything in just one sweep.
It’s crazy they didn’t even try looking.
It is not super convenient. Screen to small. Shopping list too big. Use iPhone.
um, raise your wrist, say siri, and tell it to add stuff to reminders. not hard.
Where do you find your reminders at in the watch? Sorry if it’s a dumb question
The whole reminders app is on your iPhone. Go watch a video on how to use it. Only the lists from it are on the AW
um, why did you post this 4 times? isn’t once enough?
Oh yay Reddit mobile.

Even better: create a “Grocery” list and say “add x to grocery list.
