What Groly is

Groly combines shared grocery lists, meal planning, and health and nutrition tracking in a mobile-first progressive web app. Multiple users can work on shopping lists with real-time syncing and offline edits; lists also support barcode scanning, automatic categories, and item suggestions. The health tracker records supplements, water, caffeine, meditation, and mood, with history views and PDF export. A food diary tracks calories and macros using generic foods and branded product information from Open Food Facts. Users can create recipes, import them by URL, plan meals by week, and add recipe ingredients to shopping lists. Barcode and product lookups use Open Food Facts, Open Products Facts, and Open Beauty Facts. Groly runs in a Docker container, has an Unraid install option, and stores its SQLite database in a mounted data volume. The maker describes it as free and open, with voluntary coffee donations. It is self-hosted and has no open registration: an admin invites users through single-use links that expire after 48 hours. HTTPS is required for PWA installation and several features, and the Docker image is built for linux/amd64.
