Overview

Listonic is a shopping list app whose new AI Assistant generates shopping lists from text, voice, or a photo within seconds, suggests recipes and meal ideas based on your preferences and purchase history, answers food and shopping questions, and recommends seasonal produce.

Generating a list from a photo – a recipe card, a handwritten note, whatever’s in front of you – alongside text and voice input covers how people actually capture shopping needs in the real world, rather than forcing manual typing every time. Recipe suggestions tied to your actual purchase history are also more useful than generic recipe recommendations, since they account for what you’re already buying rather than suggesting ingredients you’d need to source from scratch.

Listonic is completely free with 20+ core features included – unlimited list creation and real-time collaborative sharing, automatic sorting by store section, a budget calculator, and support for 40+ languages. Premium options exist for additional customization like themes and an ad-free experience, though specific pricing wasn’t shown on the homepage.
