Grocy is a self-hosted household management system designed to track grocery inventory, chore logs, and equipment manuals within a private home environment. It functions as a grocery inventory manager, a digital recipe and meal planner, and a household chore tracker.
The system distinguishes itself through a REST API that exposes all household functions for home automation integration and a barcode-based stock controller that utilizes external databases to identify products and update stock levels. It also features recipe web scraping to automatically extract culinary data from external websites.
The platform covers a broad range of domestic capabilities, including inventory tracking with expiration date monitoring, automated shopping list generation, and product lifecycle journaling. It also manages home equipment catalogs, recurring chore logging, and meal planning linked to current stock levels.
The system provides a dedicated smartphone interface for managing inventory and household data on the go.
