Grocy

Grocy is a web-based household management app for groceries, stock and recipes. You host it yourself, and it runs in the browser.

Grocy tracks what you have at home, sets minimum stock amounts and reminds you when items are due. It supports barcode scanning in the browser or with a barcode reader, and it can look up new products through external services. Recipes show whether the ingredients are in stock, and a meal planner can add anything missing to your shopping list. A due score helps you use up items that are close to expiring, which can reduce waste in the kitchen.

• Track stock and due dates
• Barcode scanning in the browser
• Minimum stock alerts
• Recipes with stock checks
• Shopping list from meal plans

Households that want to cut waste and plan their shopping. It suits people who like to keep a home inventory and are comfortable running a self-hosted app.

Grocy is open source under the MIT licence and free to use. A desktop version for Windows runs without managing a separate web server. Self-hosting costs only your server time. Community add-ons and guides are available, and the project is maintained by its creator with help from contributors. Keep the database backed up, since it holds your stock history.
