For shoppers, not for screens

A grocery list made for the aisle.

Stop texting lists back and forth. Cartio is the grocery list your whole family can read — sorted by aisle, totaled as you go, ready to share in a tap. No account, no fuss.

Why not Notes?

Your Notes app doesn't know the difference between Dairy and Bakery.

A grocery list isn't really a note. It's a route through the store, a running total, and a thing you tick off one-handed. Cartio is built for that — Notes isn't.

Features

Built for the way you shop.

Big hit targets, glanceable typography, single-thumb operation. Cartio stays out of the way so you can keep your eyes on the shelf.

Lists by aisle

Group items by category — produce, dairy, bakery — so you walk the store once.

Prices that add up

Set a price and quantity per item. Cartio totals everything in your currency, in real time.

Drag to reorder

Drag items into the order you'll grab them. Your list, your aisle order.

Share with the family

Send a list to anyone via your phone's share sheet — formatted as plain text. No invites, no logins.

Languages & currencies

English and Portuguese, plus your local currency and date format — all from settings.

Closed-list archive

Finished a shop? Close the list. Cartio keeps a tidy archive so you can copy it next week.

How it works

From the kitchen to the cart.

Three steps. No tutorial needed.

Step 01

Build your list

Add items, set prices and quantities. Cartio sorts them into categories so you know where to find them.

Step 02

Walk the store

Tap to check off as you go. Big targets, mono prices, one-thumb operation. The total updates as your cart fills.

Step 03

Close it out

Wrap the list when you're done. Reopen any closed list later and copy it into a fresh one.

In the wild

A look inside.

From the beta

Loved by people who hate grocery apps.

Early notes from our beta testers. Placeholder copy — replace with real quotes before launch.

I've tried six list apps. This is the first one my husband actually uses — because there's nothing to log into.

The running total saved me from a €40 surprise at checkout last Saturday. I'm not going back to paper.

Aisle order is the feature I didn't know I needed. I walk the store once now, not three times.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need an account?
No. Cartio works completely offline — there's nothing to sign up for. Your lists live on your device.
Where are my lists stored?
On your phone. Cartio doesn't sync to a cloud, doesn't host your lists on our servers, and doesn't share data across devices. Uninstalling the app removes the local data.
How does Cartio Pro work?
Cartio Pro is a one-time, in-app purchase that removes the banner ads from the free version. It's billed by Apple's App Store or Google Play in your local currency. There is no subscription and no auto-renewal.
I bought Pro on my old phone — can I get it back?
Yes. Pro is tied to your Apple ID or Google account, not the device. Sign in to the same store account on your new phone, open Cartio's settings, and tap Restore purchases.
What languages does Cartio support?
English and Portuguese at launch, with multi-currency and date-format options under Settings → Localization. More languages will follow.
Can I share a list with my family?
Yes — Cartio formats the list as plain text and hands it off to your phone's share sheet (messages, email, anything). It's quick and it doesn't require the other person to have Cartio installed.
How do I report a bug or request a feature?
Open the app, go to Settings → Help, and use the in-app feedback form. Or email suporte@codeswift.com.br.
