The shopping list that never gets left on the counter.

It writes itself from the week’s meals and whatever you send Hermo on WhatsApp. Then it is on both your phones, so whoever ends up going has it on them.

How it works

Nobody writes the list. You just shop off it.

1

Plan the week’s meals

Every ingredient from every recipe you picked lands on the list, combined and totted up. Six onions, not two plus four.

2

Add things as you notice

Out of olive oil mid-cooking, out of nappies at 11pm. Say it to Hermo on WhatsApp and it is on before you have put the pan down.

3

Ask for it in the shop

“What’s on the shopping list?” on WhatsApp, standing in the aisle, without opening an app or asking your partner to read it out.

4

Tick as you go

One list, both phones. Whoever is in the shop ticks things off and the other one sees it happen.

In the shop

No use on the counter. No use in the other parent’s pocket either.

Whoever ends up going should be able to see it and tick it off without asking anyone.

what’s on the shopping list?
Fourteen things. Six red onions, smoked haddock, red lentils, wrapping paper, olive oil, nappies size 5…
got the onions and the haddock
Ticked both off. Twelve left.
Rowan is in the shop. Dev sees it tick down at home.

Ask for it from the aisle.

Either of you, on your own WhatsApp, without opening anything or asking the other one to read it out over the phone.

Tick things off as you go.

Say what you have got and it comes off the list. The other one watches it shrink in real time, so nobody buys the bread twice.

Say what it is for as you add it.

Chemist things and supermarket things do not have to live in one undifferentiated pile.

Getting things on it

The moment you notice is the only moment you will remember.

Nobody walks to the kitchen drawer to write down that the olive oil has run out.

Added olive oil to the shopping list.
and wrapping paper for saturday
On there too.
Both of you, from your own phones, without opening anything.

Voice, text or a photo.

Hands covered in something, halfway out the door, in the car. Send it however is easiest and it is on the list.

One list, not one each.

Both of you add to the same list and both of you see it tick down in real time. No more “did you already get bread?”

The meal plan fills the rest.

Everything the week’s recipes need is already there before you add a thing. Meal planner →

FAQ

Shopping list questions, answered.

Does the shopping list integrate with my supermarket?

Not yet. Hermo gives you the list, you do the shopping. We are tracking demand for direct integrations with UK supermarkets, so tell us if it matters to you at hello@hermo.ai.

Can I have multiple shopping lists?

One shared family list. Say what something is for as you add it, and Hermo keeps the chemist things and the supermarket things apart.

Can my partner add items too?

Yes, and to the same list. Add from the web any time, or send it to Hermo on WhatsApp on the paid plans.

Is the shopping list on the free plan?

Yes, the shared list and the meal planner that fills it are. Adding to it and asking for it on WhatsApp come with the paid plans, with a 14-day free trial.
