About Grocy

Grocy is a web-based, self-hosted application for managing groceries and household tasks at home. The project describes itself as "ERP beyond your fridge." It is open source and is maintained as a hobby project by Bernd Bestel.

Grocy is a PHP application that runs on a web server or in Docker, or it can be installed as Grocy Desktop on Windows. Installation requires PHP 8.5 with SQLite 3.40 or later and several PHP extensions. The default login is admin with the password admin, which the documentation says should be changed immediately. The interface is available in English and German, and other languages can be contributed through Transifex. Public demo instances of the stable and development versions are available for trying the software.
