How it works

  1. Open the note

    Open your shopping list in the Notes app.

    Step 1: Open the note
  2. Tap Share

    Use the share button at the top of the note.

    Step 2: Tap Share
  3. Choose Fridgea

    Pick Fridgea in the share sheet.

    Step 3: Choose Fridgea
  4. Review and import

    Fridgea picks up headings, quantities and checkboxes. Choose a list, adjust anything and import.

Why it helps

  • Headings in your note become categories.
  • Understands bullets, checkboxes and quantities like "milk x2" or "2 kg flour".
  • Import into a new list or one you already have.

What Fridgea understands

Bullets, numbered lists and Notes checklists all work. A line ending with a colon — or a short line followed by items — becomes a category, and quantities like "2 kg flour", "milk x2" or "eggs ×6" stay with their item. Nothing in your note changes; Fridgea only reads a copy.
