Shopping Lists Are Simpler
with Memo-to-Email
You don't need a dedicated shopping list app. Jot items down as you notice them, send with one tap before leaving, and check your email at the store. No new habit to form — just your inbox.
3 Reasons Shopping Forgetting Happens
When you think "I need soy sauce," what do you do? Try to remember it and forget. Intend to open a note app but don't bother. Add it to a dedicated app but forget to check it at the store — all of these failures share one root cause: friction.
The Solution: Memo → Email → Check at Store
With Simple Memo, launch in 0.4 seconds (warm launch, iPhone 16e) the moment you notice something. One-tap send before you leave. At the store, just open your regular email app. No hunting for a dedicated app, no asking family to install anything.
How to Use It (5 Steps)
- Notice something is running low — note it immediately — Open the fridge, see you're out of soy sauce. Launch Simple Memo in 0.4s (warm launch, iPhone 16e) and type it before you forget.
- Enter items line by line — "Soy sauce, milk, onions" — one item per line. Open the app again anytime to add more as you remember them.
- Send it before you leave home — One tap sends the list to your inbox. Arrives with one tap.
- Open your email app at the store — When you arrive, open your regular email app. Your list is right there. No dedicated shopping app needed.
- Archive when done — Archive or delete the email after shopping. Start fresh next time.
Real-World Scenario Examples
FAQ
Can I use Simple Memo as a shopping list app?
Yes. Unlike dedicated shopping apps, you check your list in the email app you already use at the store. No need to open a separate app.
Can I share the shopping list with my family?
Yes. Simply forward the email you received. No special app install required on their end (Simple Memo sends to one address only, so it can't send to you and your family at once).
What if I need to add more items?
Launch the app again, type the additions, send another email. Two emails in your inbox — check both and you have the full list.
Does it work without Wi-Fi at the store?
Usually — if your email app downloaded the email before you left, you can read it without a connection (this depends on your email app's offline storage).
Is the free plan enough for daily shopping?
The free plan allows 3 sends per day. Consolidating your shopping list into one email per trip means the free plan covers daily use easily. For heavy use, Premium ($2.99/month) removes the 3-per-day limit.
