Everyone runs the same core loop through the supermarket — milk, bread, eggs, butter, the vegetables, the toilet paper — and everyone still manages to arrive home missing one of them. The staples are so obvious they're invisible, which is exactly how they get forgotten.
This is the core supermarket list, short on purpose: the dozen things a household actually runs out of. Open it in the app and it becomes a living list — say 'bananas' while you're staring at the empty fruit bowl, tick things off trolley-side, and the loop finally closes with nothing missing.
How the ABC app works with this list
A — say it. Tap the mic and add anything this list is missing — "milk" — and it's saved. B — tick it. Check each item off as it goes in the bag or the trolley. C — sorted. The list keeps itself; close the app, it's still there next time. It works offline, and your list lives on your phone, not on our servers.
