We thought about looking into a Sky calendar, but naturally for what they were offering we thought there had to be a self hosted solution.

Grocy seems to fit the bill and then some. The next challenge would be getting a touch display and mini computer to act as a kiosk to display it in the house somewhere.

Anyone else using grocy?

Never heard of it before, but this speaks to the grizzled kitchen manager in me. I'd use the fuck out of it if I didn't live alone. As it stands I'm seriously considering setting it up for me and my partner because we frequently shop for each other. I already optimize my shopping list by aisle to spend the minimum possible amount of time there, but this is a whole other level.

It looks ridiculously powerful and probably has use cases in busy households and for ND folks with executive function and/or sensory issues. I guess being self hosted you can use as much or as little of it as you need and be secure in the knowledge that your shopping habits aren't being tracked by yet another corporate entity.

There's a standalone desktop app if building out a server is overkill.
