Shopping List skill

Shopping List syncs and manages grocery or household shopping items on supported Mac installations. It works only when the skill is installed, enabled, and connected for this home.

Use the product path below before trying to solve this from chat alone.

Menu labels are written as they appear in Homie.

1. 1

   Open Homie -> Skills.

2. 2

   Choose Shopping List.

3. 3

   Use Connect, Settings, or Teach skill, then save before asking Homie to use it.

Shopping List syncs and manages grocery or household shopping items on supported Mac installations.

A skill gives Homie one narrow job. It can make answers better in that area, but it does not unlock the rest of the house or skip approvals.

Ask for this skill when your request clearly belongs to one of these situations.

• You want to add, remove, or check shopping items by voice or chat.
• You want recipes, pantry notes, or deal planning to turn into a clear shopping list.
• You want list items to sync through the supported Mac setup.

Shopping List is available on supported Mac homes and uses the household's Apple Reminders sync setup.

If setup is incomplete, Homie should say what is missing instead of pretending it can act.

Homie can use only the information this skill exposes and only within the permissions the household has granted.

• Shopping items
• Apple Reminders sync state
• Pantry or recipe context when relevant

This skill does not give Homie unlimited access. It still follows the same privacy, setup, and approval rules as the rest of Homie.

• It will not run on homes where the supported Mac sync path is unavailable.

Skill information should stay with the place that owns it. Calendar events stay in calendars, recipes stay in Cookbook, messages stay in message history, and memories store only durable meaning.

If the skill touches member-specific data, Homie should know which member is asking before it uses private records.

First confirm the skill is installed, enabled, and connected. Then ask with the real object name, such as a calendar, room, recipe, playlist, inbox, or member.

1. 1

   Open Settings or the Skills overlay to see whether this skill is enabled and healthy.

2. 2

   Use plain language.

   Homie can choose the right skill when it has enough context.

3. 3

   If an action would reach outside the household, expect an approval card first.

Most Homie issues come from setup, identity, or approval state. Work through these checks before assuming Homie ignored the request.

• Check whether the skill tile is visible, enabled, and healthy.
• Verify account access, device pairing, and any setup fields the skill asks for.
• For scheduled skill work, check the trusted home setup before assuming Homie forgot.

Check first: Examples in this article work only when the skill exists in this home and setup is complete.

What stays private: Homie changes saved household information only from the household Mac. Background work cannot quietly edit it.

• Open Settings or the Skills overlay to see whether this skill is enabled and healthy.
• Use plain language. Homie can choose the right skill when it has enough context.
• If an action would reach outside the household, expect an approval card first.

• Add oat milk to the shopping list.
• What is on the shopping list?
• Remove tomatoes.
