The whole list at once — free
Not item-by-item. One tap sends every unchecked item on your list to Instacart together, so nothing gets left behind because you got bored halfway through retyping it.
Grocery list → Instacart
Build the list together during the week — anyone in the family can add to it from their phone. When you're ready to order, one button turns the whole thing into a shoppable Instacart cart. No account linking, no retyping. Free.
One family account · No credit card · Free forever
Ordering from Instacart is easy. Getting your family's actual list into Instacart is the annoying part. Most people end up with the list in one place — a notes app, a group text, the whiteboard — and then rebuild it item by item in Instacart's search box, which is where things get forgotten.
FamilyDash closes that gap. The grocery list is shared and live: your partner adds "eggs" from work, the kids' snack requests land on it, ingredients from this week's meals flow in automatically. Then Shop on Instacart hands the entire list over at once — names, quantities, and units — and you pick your store on Instacart and check out there.
There's no account to connect. FamilyDash doesn't ask for your Instacart login, and you don't have to authorize anything before you can use the button. It builds a shoppable list page, you choose from the stores Instacart covers in your area, and delivery or pickup works exactly the way it normally does.
The whole thing is free. Instacart checkout isn't behind an upgrade in FamilyDash, and it isn't a trial — it's part of the free tier and stays that way.
Not item-by-item. One tap sends every unchecked item on your list to Instacart together, so nothing gets left behind because you got bored halfway through retyping it.
Nothing to authorize, no OAuth screen, no password handed over. FamilyDash builds a shoppable list page and you pick your store and check out on Instacart's own site.
"2 lbs chicken thighs" arrives as 2 lbs, not as a bare search for chicken. Shopper notes like "ripe" ride along too, so the person picking your produce knows what you meant.
You pick the retailer on Instacart after the list is handed over — the same store selection you'd get ordering directly, covering around a thousand retail banners depending on your area.
Put meals on the week's plan and their ingredients flow into the grocery list with quantities scaled to your servings. Review what's already in the pantry, then send the rest to Instacart. Planning dinner and ordering groceries stop being two separate chores.
The list is shared in real time across every phone in the household and the fridge tablet. Whoever's placing the order gets what the whole family actually needs, not just what one person remembered.
In FamilyDash, build your grocery list — items can be added by anyone in the household from any device — then tap Shop on Instacart. FamilyDash turns the entire list into a shoppable Instacart page with your item names, quantities, and units already filled in. You pick your store there and check out on Instacart as usual. It's free and requires no account linking.
Yes. FamilyDash is a free shared grocery list for families with built-in Instacart checkout. The list is real-time across every family member's phone and any fridge tablet, sorted by store department, and one button hands the whole list to Instacart. The Instacart feature is on the free tier — it is not a paid upgrade.
No. FamilyDash never asks for your Instacart credentials and there's no authorization step. It generates a shoppable list page from your items; you open it, choose your store, and sign in to Instacart there only when you're ready to check out — the same as ordering directly.
No. Instacart checkout is part of the FamilyDash free tier, along with the grocery list, meal planner, chores, and calendar. There's no upgrade required and no per-order fee from FamilyDash. Instacart's own delivery and service fees apply as normal.
Yes. Add meals to the weekly plan and their ingredients flow into the grocery list automatically, with quantities scaled to your serving count. You get a chance to review the list — including unchecking pantry staples you already have — before sending it to Instacart.
You choose the retailer on Instacart after your list is handed over, so you get whatever Instacart covers where you live — around a thousand retail banners nationally, though availability varies by area. Delivery and pickup both work the way they normally do.
The list works just as well in the store. Items are grouped by department — produce, dairy, frozen, household — and the department order is configurable per store, so you walk the aisles in sequence instead of doubling back. Check items off as you go and they disappear from everyone else's view too.
Free forever for your whole household — Instacart checkout included. Pro from $2.92/mo when you want recipe scanning and unlimited calendars.
Push notifications when chores are due, a meal’s checked off, or someone forwards a school email — and the same shared dashboard, just in your pocket.
