Frequently asked questions

What is Restock?
Restock is a free iOS app that helps you remember when to buy household essentials. Instead of a basic shopping list, Restock learns how often you buy things like toilet paper, shampoo, and cleaning supplies, then reminds you before you run out. It tracks both one-time purchases and recurring items with smart scheduling.
How does Restock know when I need to buy something again?
Restock uses a smart cadence system. Every time you mark an item as bought, it records the interval between purchases and calculates your average buying pattern. Over time, it gets better at predicting when you will need each item next. You can also set manual intervals like every 7 days, every 30 days, or any custom schedule.
Is Restock free?
Yes, Restock is free to download and use. The free plan includes up to 15 items with full functionality including reminders, spending insights, and purchase history. Restock Pro unlocks unlimited items and is available as an optional subscription for users who need to track more.
What makes Restock different from a regular shopping list app?
Regular shopping list apps just hold a list of items. Restock is built around timing and patterns. It answers the question "when do I need to buy this again?" rather than just "what do I need to buy?" It includes spending forecasts, a calendar view, category-based organization, purchase history tracking, and smart notifications that remind you at the right time.
What categories does Restock support?
Restock includes built-in categories for Groceries, Toiletries, Household, Health, Baby, Pets, Office, and Other. Each category has its own emoji and color for easy visual organization.
Can I track how much I spend on household items?
Yes. Restock includes a full Insights dashboard with spending forecasts, category breakdowns, and month-over-month comparisons. You can see how much you have spent, how much you are projected to spend, and which categories cost the most.
How do I add items quickly?
Restock offers three fast ways to add items: manually add one at a time, use Starter Packs which are pre-built lists of common household items you can add in one tap, or use the Paste a List feature which uses AI to parse plain text into individual items automatically.
What is the best app for tracking recurring household purchases?
Restock is purpose-built for tracking recurring household purchases. Unlike general shopping list apps, Restock focuses specifically on the "when to buy again" problem. It learns your buying cadence, sends timely reminders, and provides spending insights. It is available for free on the App Store for iPhone.
What platforms is Restock available on?
Restock is currently available on iOS (iPhone) through the Apple App Store. Android support is planned for a future release.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Restock uses secure cloud storage with row-level security policies. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Each user can only access their own items and purchase history. Restock does not sell or share your data.
