Shopping

1. Open the Shopping app from your home screen.
2. Tap the + icon in the top-right corner. (If this is your first time, you can also tap the Create a shopping list button in the middle of the screen).
3. Personalise your list: choose an initial emoji icon, and type a name (e.g., Aldi shopping).
4. Choose your privacy setting: Lists are Shared by default so your household can collaborate. If you want a personal tracker, toggle the Private setting to ON.
5. Tap Save in the top-right corner.

1. Tap the shopping list card you wish to amend.
2. Tap the settings cog icon in the top-right corner.
3. In the Details section, tap the list's name to type a new one, or tap the current emoji to bring up the selector.
4. Tap Save in the top-right corner to commit your changes.

There are two ways to permanently remove a list you own:

• Option 1: On the main Shopping home screen, simply swipe the list card from left to right and tap the red Delete button.
• Option 2: Open the list, tap the settings cog icon in the top-right corner, scroll to the bottom, and tap Delete list. Confirm the deletion.

⚠️ Note on Deletion Permissions: If a shared list was created by another household member, the delete controls will be hidden or greyed out. Only the original list creator can delete it.

• Shared (Public) Lists: These are visible to your immediate household members in Cuppi. It means everyone can add groceries, cross off items, or track what's missing.

Note: "Public" only means visible within your specific Cuppi household - other separate households can never see your data.

• Private Lists: These are completely hidden. Neither the list card nor its content can be seen by anyone else in your household.

To prevent accidental changes to your carefully curated lists, Cuppi enforces distinct role capabilities:

• Transferring Ownership: If you created a shared list but want someone else to manage it, open the list settings, select an adult household member, and transfer it.

Note: Ownership cannot be transferred to a member with Child permissions.

• Sharing a Private List: If you want to make a private list visible to the family, go to the list settings and toggle Private to OFF. Once shared, it is visible to everyone. If you wish to transfer it later, it must be marked as Shared first.

When you step into the supermarket, open your list and activate Shopping Mode by tapping the lightbulb or the dedicated trigger.

• Live Collaboration: It transforms the interface into a high-visibility tracker with enlarged items and text to minimise distractions.
• Household Pings: The moment you turn it on, other adult household members receive a notification letting them know you are actively shopping. A live green "NOW SHOPPING" badge appears on their home view card, alongside a real-time countdown of remaining items. If they add a forgotten item to the list while you're in the store, it pops up on your screen instantly!
• Easy Marking: You can tap the checkbox or simply swipe across an item to quickly mark it as "In cart".

Cuppi includes unique convenience features tailored to your current session:

• Checkbox Flipping: Left-handed or prefer checking boxes on a specific side? Go to your list settings and toggle between Left or Right in the Layout section. This setting only affects your personal view across all lists.
• Shopping Mode Light/Dark Toggle: If your system is set to Dark Mode but the store's lighting makes the screen hard to read, tap the lightbulb icon in the top-right corner to temporarily flip to Light Mode for your current shopping session.
• Always-On Display: While in Shopping Mode, your phone screen is prevented from dimming or locking automatically, saving you from constantly re-authenticating with Face ID while pushing a trolley.

🛑 Security Note: Because your screen stays unlocked during Shopping Mode, please keep a firm grip on your phone. If your device is misplaced or snatched, an unauthorised person will have access to your active phone data until it is locked manually.

Every item you add to a list is instantly analysed and categorised by supermarket aisle. This groups your fruits and veg, dairy, and cleaning products cleanly together.

Note: Categorisation currently supports British English product names. At this stage, custom categories or manual overrides cannot be added.

Before heading out, households with a Cuppi Pro subscription can split up a large grocery list to get the job done in half the time.

• Adults can assign specific aisles to different family members.
• When you open the list in Shopping Mode, your assigned aisles are automatically prioritised and pinned to the very top of your view.
• Need to check the rest of the trolley? Simply scroll past your priority items to view and interact with the remainder of the household list.

Free accounts can create 1 Shared list per household and 1 Private list per user. Each list can hold up to 100 items. If you need to start a fresh list on the Free tier, you will need to delete your existing list first.

Upgrading to Pro unlocks unlimited lists.

Cuppi provides a safe sandbox for kids to build digital responsibility. Here is how features adapt when an account has Child permissions:

• What they CAN do: Children can view shared household lists, add items to them, delete items, enter Shopping Mode, and check items off as "Done" (or untick them) while helping you in the store.
• What they CANNOT do: Children are strictly restricted from creating Private lists or launching new Shared lists. All list configuration screens and settings cog icons are entirely hidden from their view. They are also excluded from receiving "Now Shopping" alerts and cannot use the Pro Split List aisle assignment feature.
