Need help with Taplist? Start with the answers below — if you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch.
Tap any item tile in a category, any avatar in your Regulars row, or any widget in the Pantry Staples grid. Each tap adds one. Long-press a tile to add more than one at a time.
The floating basket button is draggable — you can move it to any corner or edge that works for your thumb. It saves its position between launches.
If you can't find it, scroll to the top of the home screen. It only appears when there's at least one item in your basket.
Yes — long-press the floating basket button right after adding an item. An "Undo" option appears for about 30 seconds after each add.
Regulars are the items you buy most often — surfaced as a row of one-tap avatars near the top of the home screen. Taplist learns them automatically from your completed baskets. There's nothing to configure.
Regulars are personal — they reflect what you buy.
Pantry Staples is a curated grid of universal essentials anyone might need (milk, bread, eggs, olive oil…). Useful when you're starting out or want to quickly restock the basics.
On supported devices (typically iPhone 15 Pro or later running iOS 26), Taplist uses Apple's on-device intelligence to interpret a meal description and break it into ingredients.
Nothing is sent to a server. All processing happens on your iPhone, offline.
Open your basket, tap the menu (•••), and choose Share. Taplist renders a clean image of your list that you can send via Messages, Mail, or any other share target.
Taplist files it into your history with a small celebration. You can browse past baskets anytime from the History button in the top toolbar, and re-add any complete basket — or any single item from it — with a tap.
Yes, entirely. Taplist doesn't need an internet connection to do anything except show occasional banner ads when they're enabled.
Taplist runs entirely on-device and doesn't sync between devices. We made this choice deliberately — it means no account, no cloud, and no possibility of your grocery habits being stored anywhere outside your iPhone.
Taplist stores everything locally. To delete your data, simply delete the app — everything is removed with it. You can also clear individual items, recent baskets, or completed history from within the app.
Nothing personally identifying. We don't ask for an email, name, location, or any other account information to use Taplist.
All of the above lives in Taplist's local database (SwiftData) on your iPhone. None of it is uploaded.
Taplist may display banner ads through Google AdMob to support development. Apple's iOS App Tracking Transparency framework governs whether the ad SDK can request your Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) — you'll see the standard system prompt, and your choice is respected. Taplist itself does not see or store any tracking identifiers.
When you allow personalised ads, AdMob may use the IDFA in line with Google's privacy policy. When you decline, AdMob serves contextual (non-personalised) ads only.
When you use the recipe-to-basket feature on a supported device, your description is processed by Apple's on-device foundation models. The text is not transmitted to Apple or to us.
The only third-party service Taplist contacts is Google AdMob, and only when banner ads are enabled. No analytics, crash reporting, or marketing SDKs are included.
Taplist is suitable for all ages but is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date. Significant changes will also be announced in the app's release notes.
