How Mango & Dill works
Every feature explained, in the same words as in the app. You'll find the same explanations behind the help button on every screen of the app.
Shopping list
The list, under control
Three quick gestures cover the whole shop. The list follows your store's walking route and learns as you check items off.
Tap an item
The item moves to your cart, checked off.
Tap the icon
Opens the category picker, placing the item at the right spot along your route.
Swipe
Swipe right to mark as urgent. Swipe left to delete.
Sorted by walking route
Fine-grained sections follow your path through the store, from the entrance to the checkout.
Pick your store
The badge above the list picks the store. Kaufland, Rewe, Aldi, and Lidl come with ready-made routes. When the app recognizes your branch, the badge shows it.
Move a section
Press and hold a header: “Move up/down” shifts the section, “Remember position” keeps it there.
Quietly learns along
After a few shopping trips, checking items off teaches the app your actual route, on this device only. The “Learn store route” switch in the list settings turns this off.
Share your list
Three steps and you're shopping together. Both of you need iCloud.
1. Open the More menu (⋯) on the shopping list.
2. Choose “Share List”.
3. Invite someone, done.
Private, no account
Everything lives in your private iCloud. No account, no ads, no tracking.
Shopping mode
Your next items sit on the Lock Screen. Check them off without unlocking.
Tap the basket
The basket button at the top of the shopping list starts shopping mode.
Check off without unlocking
A Live Activity shows your next three items and progress. Check them off right there.
Done?
Tap the basket button again. Shopping mode ends and the card disappears.
Meals
Meals & Suggestions
Recipes do the shopping for you.
A meal onto the list
One tap puts all of a meal's ingredients on the shopping list.
Matches your list
Suggestions show which meals you can cook from your list.
Create your own meal
Tap ＋ at the top right: name, time, ingredients. And it's yours.
Meal plan
Meal plan
Plan the next seven days and keep your calendar in the loop.
Plan a meal
Each day has “Plan a Meal”. Pick a meal, set servings, done.
Calendar mirror
Choose a calendar at the top right: every planned meal appears there as an event and disappears along with it.
Ingredients
Ingredients & Items
The library behind your list and meals: what an item is and where it belongs.
Add an item
Tap ＋ at the top right and enter a name. Tapping an existing row opens the same editor.
Set the category
The category decides which section an item lands in on the shopping list, so where it sits along your route.
Choose an icon
“Automatic” finds an icon to match the name. Or pick one yourself in the grid below.
Household & Toiletries
Items in this category appear on the shopping list, but never in meals or suggestions.
