About Android

Grocy Android is a mobile client for grocy, a self-hosted grocery and household management system. It uses grocy's official API to provide an interface on Android smartphones for managing groceries.

The app is a companion to the grocy server application. It requires a running self-hosted grocy instance and cannot run standalone or manage products on its own. A demo option on the login screen allows users to try the app before connecting to a server. The app requests internet access, network state access, camera access for barcode scanning, and vibration for haptic effects.
