Shared lists, finally done right.
Cart Right keeps grocery runs, errands, and household plans in one place. Built for couples, families, and roommates who are tired of asking, "Did anyone already get this?"
The shared-household stuff that actually matters.
Lists, calendars, and coordination without the bloat, badges, or busywork.
Shared lists that stay in sync
If someone adds coffee from the couch, it shows up in the aisle a second later. No refresh habit required.
Circles for the people you actually live with
Family, partner, roommates. Give the group a home, then keep lists and calendars inside it.
A calendar that belongs with your lists
Recurring pickups, school events, bill reminders. It lives in the same app, so you stop stitching tools together.
Themes with more character than beige SaaS
Eight palettes, each with light and dark mode. Enough personality to feel yours without getting loud.
Fast when your signal isn't
Taps respond immediately. Sync catches up quietly when your connection does.
Personal when it should be, shared when it helps
Some lists stay private. Others go to the whole house. You decide list by list.
No ad-tech energy
No banners, no interruptions, no feeling that your grocery list is a lead-generation funnel.
Made for the way people actually live together.
Not just grocery runs. The whole low-level choreography of a shared home.
Busy homes that run on shared context
Groceries, school pickups, pharmacy runs, weekend errands. Everybody sees the same list before they leave the house.
Two people, one less thing to chase
Household stuff stops living in half-remembered texts. Add it once, and both of you can trust the same plan.
Shared apartments without the group-chat mess
Restocks, bills, cleaning supplies, and who grabbed what. Enough structure to stay organized without feeling corporate.
From zero to sharing in 30 seconds.

We loved Cozi too. Until we didn't.
Cozi pioneered the family organizer — and we respect that. But the recent shift to ads on the free tier and a 30-day calendar paywall left a lot of families looking for something better. So we built it.
| whyNotCozi.headers.gripe | whyNotCozi.headers.cozi | whyNotCozi.headers.cartRight |
|---|---|---|
| Ads in your family planner | Banner ads on the free tier — pay to remove them | Zero ads. Free or Premium. Forever. |
| Calendar locked behind a paywall | Free accounts can only see a 30-day window — no summer camp, no holidays | Full calendar with recurring events on the free tier |
| "Bait and switch" pricing | Long-time users report sudden restrictions and upsells (Trustpilot avg ~2.1★) | Generous free tier. Premium is optional, not a hostage situation. |
| Dated, cluttered experience | Users report a dated UI and buggy widgets in recent reviews | Modern, fast, optimistic UI with light + dark themes |
