Which devices does Basket run on?

Accepted Answer

iOS and Android. Everything on a list syncs in real time, across every device on it.

How do I sign in?

Accepted Answer

With a one-time code sent to your email, or with Google. There's no password to create or remember.

What languages does Basket speak?

English and Spanish. The app follows your device language and you can switch it manually in settings.

Question 5

Do I have to type every item?

No. Basket has a built-in catalogue of 501 groceries across 16 categories. You pick an item, choose a variant like Fuji or Granny Smith, set a quantity, and add a note if you need one.

Question 6

Is there a dark mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Light, dark, or follow the system setting, from Profile → Appearance.

Basket is free to download on iOS and Android.

Question 8

Does Basket show ads?

Question 9

How do I invite people to a list?

Accepted Answer

Open the list and share its invite code. Anyone who enters that code joins the list and can add items and tick them off.

Question 10

Can I have more than one list?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Groceries, a party, the roommate house account: lists stay separate, and a quick-start template gets a new one going in a tap.

Question 11

Can I see who changed what?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each list keeps an activity history of adds, edits, and ticks, with the person and time against each one.

Question 12

What happens to a list when we're done with it?

Accepted Answer

Archive it. It moves out of your main list stack but stays recoverable, along with its history. Nothing is thrown away.

Question 13

Can I turn a recipe into a shopping list?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open a recipe and add every ingredient to a list in one tap. Basket flags anything that looks like something already on that list.

Question 14

What's the loyalty wallet?

Accepted Answer

Scan a store loyalty or membership card once with your camera and Basket keeps a scannable version of it, filed by store and ready at the till.
