- Complete costs less than $10 a year
- Meal planner and web import need Complete

AnyList is the grocery list couples stop arguing about. Share a list and you watch items get checked off as your partner shops, and the list sorts itself into categories you can rearrange to match your store. Add recipes from websites, drop them on a meal plan, and send every ingredient to the list in one tap. The free version covers shared lists; Complete adds the web and Mac apps, meal planning and photos for a small yearly fee.

ReciMe
- Turns social media videos into written recipes
- Meal plans and grocery lists are free
- Works on phone, web and in Chrome
- Free plan caps social imports at five a week
- Usage data is used for tracking
ReciMe solves a modern problem: the great recipe you saw in a reel and can never find again. Share a post from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest or Facebook and it pulls out the ingredients and steps, and it reads screenshots and handwritten cards too. Recipes land in cookbooks, a meal planner and an aisle-sorted grocery list, all free. Heavy savers will hit the five-imports-a-week cap and need Plus.
