Budget together.
Shop smarter.
Plan as a family.
CartWhiz brings your household's grocery lists, meal plans, and monthly budget into one shared app. Everyone stays in sync — no more guessing what to buy, cook, or spend.
From plan to plate in 4 steps
Your household's entire grocery workflow, connected and shared.
Set your monthly budget
Define spending limits for Groceries, Household, Utilities, and more. Everyone in your household sees the same numbers and tracks spending together.
Plan meals for the week
Assign meals to each day — manually or with AI. Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for every household member up to 2 weeks ahead.
Build your shared grocery list
One tap generates a categorized shopping list from your meal plan. Organize items into folders, filter by category, and share with your household in real time.
Shop, track, and stay on budget
Check off items as you shop. Add receipts, log purchases, and watch your monthly budget update across every category automatically.
Everything your household needs
Nine sections, one complete workflow. Every feature is designed to save money, reduce waste, and keep your family in sync.
Grocery List
A shared, categorized list organized by Produce, Dairy, Meat, and more. Create folders for grouped ingredients, filter by category, set privacy per list (private, household, or cross-household), attach receipts, and log purchases to track your spending in real time.
Meal Planner
Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and supper for every household member up to 2 weeks ahead. Build plans manually or let the AI assistant generate balanced meals based on your budget, diet, and cooking time preferences.
AI Recipes
Generate full recipes with AI — set servings, max cooking time, calorie targets, and dietary preferences. Each recipe includes a photo, scaled ingredients, and step-by-step instructions. Save favorites to your personal cookbook.
Budget Tracker
Set a total monthly budget and control spending per category: Groceries, Household, Utilities, Rent/Mortgage, Internet, Phone, Insurance, and more. Choose your currency, log expenses in the bottom expense log, and see remaining budget predictions for the rest of the month.
Household Chat
Built-in messaging tied to your household. Coordinate substitutions, share shopping updates, plan meals together, and keep all food-related conversations in one place instead of scattered texts.
Household Management
Invite members via short invite codes, manage roles, set household-level settings like custom categories and frequently used products. Pro households unlock advanced controls and cross-household sharing.
Profile & Settings
Personalize your experience with first name, last name, optional nickname, language, timezone, date format, first day of week, and avatar selection. Configure notification preferences and appearance (light, dark, or system).
Notifications
Stay informed with smart notifications for list updates, budget alerts, meal plan reminders, and household activity. Customize what you receive and when, so nothing important slips through the cracks.
Dish Photos
Attach photos to any recipe from your library or camera. See what meals actually look like before planning them. Build a visual cookbook of dishes your household has made.
Plan it. Share it.
Track it together.
CartWhiz connects every step of your household's grocery workflow — from setting a monthly budget to checking items off at the store.
