Everything you need for shared shopping

From collaborative lists to smart expense splitting, CoCart handles the entire shared shopping experience — groceries, household supplies, party planning, and more.

📝

Shared Shopping Lists

Create a shared list that everyone in the group can see and edit in real time. Add items, check them off, and stay in sync — whether it's groceries, household essentials, or party supplies.

💵

Smart Expense Splitting

Snap a photo of any receipt and CoCart reads it automatically. It figures out who owes what based on actual items — no more calculator apps or awkward money conversations.

🚗

Live Trip Tracking

See when the shopper leaves, arrives at the store, and how many items they've grabbed. Send last-minute "can you also get..." requests while they shop.

New
💬

Group Chat

Chat right inside the app with replies, pinned messages, and read receipts. Ask "should I get the blue ones?" without switching to another messaging app.

A Saturday with CoCart

Here's how a typical shopping run works — from list to settlement — all inside one app.

9:00 AM

11:00 AM
Sarah
Starts a shopping trip to Costco. Mike and the group get a notification and can see she's en route.
11:20 AM
Mike
Sees Sarah arrived at the store (8 of 14 items done). Sends a last-minute request: "Can you grab Yogurt?"
12:00 PM
Sarah

12:01 PM
CoCart Safety Alert
Flags that the Spinach on the receipt is subject to an active FDA recall for potential contamination. Sarah sees a red warning badge on the item.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes, CoCart is completely free to download and use. All core features — shared lists, group chat, expense splitting, trip tracking, receipt scanning, settlement plans, AI features, and voice input — are included at no cost.
CoCart works for any kind of shared shopping and expenses. Groceries are the most common use case, but groups use it for household supplies, party planning, office supply runs, dorm essentials, potluck coordination, and any situation where a group needs to shop together and split costs.
There's no hard limit. CoCart works great for 2-person households all the way up to larger groups. You can be part of multiple groups — one for roommates, one for family, one for friends. Each group has its own lists, trips, and expenses.
Magic Import lets you paste a YouTube cooking video, Instagram recipe reel, or any website URL — CoCart's AI watches or reads the content and extracts all ingredients into your shopping list. You can also just describe a meal like "pasta primavera for 4 people" and it figures out everything you need.
When someone starts a shopping trip, the app tracks their journey — en route with distance/ETA, arrival at the store, and live progress as they check items off. Group members can see all this in real time and even send last-minute item requests that pop up on the shopper's screen.
CoCart tracks every expense and who paid. When it's time to settle up, it calculates the optimal payment plan with the minimum number of transactions. Instead of everyone sending money back and forth, it might simplify to just 2-3 payments that settle everything.
At the end of each month, CoCart creates an Instagram Stories-style recap of your group's spending. It shows total spending, number of trips, items bought, money saved, and top spending categories — all in a beautiful swipeable format you can share.
Set your dietary preferences (vegan, keto, gluten-free, etc.) and favorite cuisines. CoCart's AI generates a full 7-day meal plan tailored to your household. You can swap individual dishes, mark meals as cooked, and add all ingredients to your shopping list with one tap. It even gives you a daily "Tonight's Pick" dinner suggestion with a recipe.
Yes! Many stores like Walmart and Target offer paperless receipts. You can share a digital receipt directly to CoCart from your email or any app using your phone's share button. You can also paste a receipt screenshot from your clipboard. CoCart reads the receipt and logs the expense to the right group automatically.
Every time you scan or import a receipt, CoCart automatically checks each item against active FDA and USDA product recall databases. If any item on your receipt has been recalled — for contamination, allergens, or other safety issues — you'll see a warning banner and a red badge on the affected item. The recall data syncs every 12 hours so it's always up to date.
Yes! Your lists, messages, and settings are saved on your phone so you can view and check off items even without internet. When you're back online, everything syncs up automatically.
Yes. All data is sent over encrypted connections. You can lock the app with Face ID or fingerprint. Groups use admin-controlled invite codes with optional approval for new members. We never share or sell your data.
