Restock is best understood as a household shopping reminder app, not a generic grocery list. It is designed for repeat purchases: add the item, mark it bought, and let the next restock date stay visible.

What is Restock?

Restock is an iPhone app that helps you remember when to buy household essentials again. It combines a shopping list, restock reminders, saved items, buy links, purchase timing, and simple spending forecasts.

Who is Restock for?

Restock is for people who repeatedly buy household basics such as groceries, toiletries, cleaning supplies, pet food, gifts, bills, and other items that come back on a rhythm.

How does Restock differ from a normal shopping list?

A normal shopping list mostly answers what to buy. Restock focuses on when something should be bought again, what it usually costs, where to buy it, and what is coming up soon.

Can I use Restock for one-time items?

Yes. Restock supports both one-time items and recurring items, so it works for a birthday gift as well as paper towels or oat milk.

What is Saved?

Saved is a place for items you may want later but do not want in the dated Upcoming list yet. When the item becomes real, you can move it to Upcoming with a date and item type.

Does Restock have spending insights?

Yes. Restock includes simple Insights widgets for spending forecasts, category spend, and calendar views based on item dates and prices.

Does Restock support shared lists?

Yes. Shared group lists are part of Restock Pro, designed for partners, families, and roommates who need the same restock list.

Does Restock sell my data?

No. Restock does not sell personal data, run third-party ad tracking SDKs, or use household item data for advertising targeting.
