Privacy details

Grocery list generator processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Item | quantity | unit

Your result

Reset reloads the tool with its starting values and releases open files and device controls. Saved drafts stay on this device until you delete them.

Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.

Using Grocery list generator

Grocery list generator groups items case-insensitively by name and unit, adds exact quantities and sorts the resulting checklist alphabetically.

Next: Checklist maker

A worked example

Apples | 3 | each plus Apples | 2 | each becomes one checklist entry for 5 apples.

Before you use the result

Units must match to combine entries. The tool does not convert cups to weight, infer recipes or check allergies. Spelling differences remain separate items.
