# kaidashi

> kaidashi is a mobile app for shared grocery lists, on iPhone, and in closed testing on Android, in six languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Hindi). A household (a couple, a family, roommates) shares one list, updated live: you see what's missing, what's already in the cart, and who got it. Free. Status: available on iPhone, in testing on Android (App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/kaidashi/id6824775288; Android: closed testing on Google Play, open to anyone who asks at https://kaidashi.app/en#android-test).

- Name: kaidashi (always lowercase).

- Languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, and Hindi (follows the phone's language).
- Price: free, no ads.
- Publisher: Emmanuel Gorre, as an individual. Contact: support@kaidashi.app.
- Data: hosted in France (OVH), visible only to the members of the household; the account can be deleted from the app.

## Features

- Live, and you know who got what: What one person adds shows up right away for everyone else. No more texting from the aisle.
- Add in two seconds: Type the first few letters: kaidashi suggests what your household usually buys and guesses the unit (bananas by the kilo, milk by the liter).
- One-handed at the store: Press an item and drag it into the cart with your thumb. Too quick? “Undo” is right there.
- Even with no signal: No reception at the back of the supermarket? kaidashi keeps working offline, and everything syncs as soon as you’re back online.
- Several households, your whole crew: One list at home, another for the vacation home or your roommates: switch between them with a tap.
