Grocy Android

[License: GPL v3] [Release] [APK Downloads]

⚠️ Because I don't have much time for Grocy Android in addition to my studies, work and other spare time activities and projects, pull requests for closing issues, adding improvements or implementing new features are highly appreciated!

Grocy Android is an open-source Android client for Grocy (source code), a self-hosted grocery and household management solution for your home.

Grocy Android uses Grocy's official API to provide you a beautiful interface on your smartphone with powerful barcode scanning and intuitive batch processing, all what you need to efficiently manage your groceries.

This app requires a running self-hosted instance of the Grocy server application.
It is a companion app, therefore it cannot run standalone or manage products itself.
You can try it using the demo option available on the login screen.

iOS/macOS client for Grocy: Grocy-SwiftUI

Downloads

If you want to try new features right after development, you can download an unsigned nightly build APK for that.

This app supports https encryption

• if your server uses a certificate which is signed by a public and trusted certificate authority (CA). To meet this requirement, you can use a free certificate from letsencrypt.org for your server. Old Android devices can have problems with newer CAs because their internal list of trusted CAs can be outdated if they don't receive system updates anymore, therefore we've integrated Conscrypt into the app to support current CAs on all Android versions.
• if your server uses a self-signed certificate. In this case the certificate must be stored in the Android user certificate store.

Like the grocy project, Grocy Android can be translated, too. The main language is English, but I also maintain the German translation because it's my mother tongue. You can help translate this project at Transifex, if your language is incomplete, contains typos or is not available yet. Translations which reached a completion level of 80% will be included in releases.

Thanks for your contributions!

About

This app is a project of my brother Dominic Zedler and me, Patrick Zedler. We started working on it during the first months of the Corona pandemic in Germany, just before our Abitur in 2020, when the schools had to close. Because Dominic switched to Apple devices in 2024 and doesn't actively use Grocy himself, he has withdrawn from the Grocy Android project, leaving me as the sole maintainer.

I'd like to thank the developer of Grocy, Bernd Bestel, without whose great work this app would never have been possible.
