Recipes

Bring a recipe.
Get its shopping.

Paste a recipe into a groceries list, or give it the link, a photo or a scan. Catastif keeps just the ingredients, each with a clean name, its amount and the rest as a note, and shows them to you before they go in.

  • A link, a photo or a scanFrom the + in a groceries list, or share the recipe's page from Safari. Photos and scans are read on your device.
  • In the language you shop inA recipe in another language is translated on your device, measures and all. Romanian and Czech, which Apple's translator doesn't have, go through a glossary of everyday groceries built into the app.
  • Only what to buyThe story, the servings and the method stay behind. Untick whatever's already in the cupboard.

Shop days, learned.
Reminds you before.

Tick things off in the shop and Catastif learns the days and times you go. A couple of hours before your next trip it reminds you, with what's on the list, and the home keeps the rest in view: to-dos due, a birthday coming up, and what you usually buy by now.

  • Your days, learnedPick the days you shop, or let your trips show them. When Saturdays become Sundays, the reminder moves too.
  • Add from the reminderType what you need into the notification, or add your usuals, without opening the app.
  • Before the others goOn a shared list, a nudge before Ana's usual trip: anything to add? And word when someone completes the list.

When the shop's done, Complete puts what you ticked off into History, on a calendar, and the list starts fresh or goes to Archived. Your Month counts it up: how much you bought, how many trips, the day you usually go and what you buy most.

Listening
Done

Native, quiet, and thoughtful

A real iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch app, made with Apple's own tools, that stays out of the way until you need it.

Everything from before

The + brings your usuals, then everything you've added before, by aisle. Pick several and add them at once; typing two letters offers them too.

Your order, kept

Hold an item and drag it where you want it, under another aisle too. The order holds on every device, and for everyone on the list.

Swipe both ways

Right to tick off, left to edit or delete. Bought items wait below: hide them, or complete the list to put them in History.

A note on any item

“The green one”, “ask for the thin cut”: a line under the item, for whoever's shopping.

Links that say where they go

A link in a note shows its page's title, in the list's colour, and opens with a tap. Add a link as an item and it takes the page's name.

A colour and a symbol

Each list gets a soft colour and a symbol you pick, so you find it at a glance.

Birthdays and occasions

A list for a birthday or an event, from Contacts or typed as “Ana's birthday 12 March”. It counts down, reminds you a week and a day before, and keeps what you gave last time.

Widgets and Siri

Tick things off from a widget on the Home Screen or the Mac, see what's left on the Lock Screen or your watch face, or ask Siri to “Add to Groceries in Catastif”.

Haptics that land

A light tap when you add, a firmer one when you tick off, on iPhone and Apple Watch.

At home on the Mac

Today, History and your lists in the sidebar, and a field where Return adds an item and stays ready for the next.

And on iPad

Lists beside their items, with a keyboard or without.

Light and dark

ca·ta·stif
/ka.taˈstif/ · noun, old Romanian

The ledger a household kept: the one book where everything was written down, from what to buy to what was owed. Catastif is that book, kept together.

Questions, answered

Is it free?
Yes. Catastif is free, with no ads, no subscription and no account. If it earns a place on your devices, you can leave a one-time tip in Settings: it brings a Hero badge and unlocks nothing else.
When can I get it?
Catastif is in development and coming to the App Store as “Catastif: Lists Together”, for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Join the waiting list below to hear the day it's out.
Do I need an account?
No. Catastif uses your iCloud, the way Notes and Reminders do. There's no sign-up and no Catastif server.
Who can see my lists?
You, on your devices, and the people you share a list with, and no one else. Lists sync through your private iCloud database, and a shared list goes through iCloud sharing to the people you invite. The developer can't see any of it.
What do the people I share with need?
Catastif on an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch, and an Apple Account. You send the invitation from the share sheet, and they join with a tap.
Is there an Android or web version?
No. Catastif keeps and shares your lists through iCloud, so it's for Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. The people you share with need one of those too.
Which languages does it understand?
Quick add and saying a list read amounts in English and Romanian: “2 lemons, milk”, “coaste de porc 2kg”, “o pâine”. You can say a list in any language your device's speech recognition offers, Romanian included, and the mic picks the list's own. A recipe's ingredients can be shown in English, Romanian or another language your device translates to. The app itself is in English.
Can it turn a recipe into a shopping list?
Yes, in a groceries list. Paste the recipe, give it the link, pick a photo of it or scan the page, and you get its ingredients with their amounts and notes, to untick what you have before they go in. A link is opened by your device, straight from the recipe's site; photos and scans are read on your device.
How does it know when I shop?
From when things get ticked off: a few close together are a trip, and a few trips on the same day of the week make it one of your days. It's worked out on your device from your own lists. You can also pick the days yourself when you edit the list.
Does the Watch need my iPhone?
No. The Watch app keeps its own copy of your lists and syncs through iCloud itself, so you can leave the phone at home and still tick things off, or add something by voice.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, Mac with macOS 26, and Apple Watch with watchOS 26.
What does “Catastif” mean?
It's an old Romanian word for a ledger: the book where a household wrote down everything, from what to buy to what was owed.
