What grocy actually does
grocy is a self-hosted enterprise resource planning system designed for household and grocery management. It helps you track household inventory, chore schedules, and meal planning in a single web interface. The project is built with PHP and available under an MIT licence.
Best fit: This is a good fit if you want a dedicated system to manage home supplies, expiry dates, and domestic chores rather than relying on generic spreadsheets.
Worth knowing: The development pace is slowing down, and self-hosting an application of this type requires ongoing manual data entry to keep inventories accurate.
Deployment notes
As a PHP and Docker application, deployment typically requires persistent storage volumes for your data and a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
