Frequently Asked Questions
Is Molecule really free?
Yes, genuinely free. Every feature — shopping lists, meal planning, barcode scanning, voice add, family sharing, spending insights, aisle mapping, templates, and offline mode — is included at no cost. No credit card required, no hidden limits. We're building Pro with advanced features, but the free tier will always include everything you need for great grocery management.
How does family sharing work?
Invite family members by email or sharing link. Everyone in the family can see and edit shared shopping lists in real-time. You can see who added each item, send nudges when you need something picked up, and approve item requests. Each person can also have their own private lists.
Does it work offline?
Absolutely. Molecule uses IndexedDB for local storage and syncs when you're back online. You can add items, check things off, and browse your lists without any internet connection. Install it as a PWA (Progressive Web App) on your phone and it works just like a native app.
Can I really scan barcodes?
Yes! Open the barcode scanner, point your phone camera at any product, and Molecule looks it up via the Open Food Facts database. It pulls in the product name, brand, and category automatically. Add it to your list in seconds.
Is my data private?
Your data is yours. Shopping lists and meal plans are stored securely and never shared with third parties. We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising. Offline data stays entirely on your device until you choose to sync.
Which supermarkets are supported for aisle mapping?
Molecule comes pre-loaded with aisle layouts for Tesco, Aldi, and Sainsbury's. You can also create custom store maps for any shop you visit regularly. Once mapped, your shopping list automatically reorders to match the store layout — no more zigzagging between aisles.
Can I install Molecule as an app on my phone?
Yes! Molecule is a Progressive Web App (PWA). On your phone's browser, tap "Add to Home Screen" and it installs like a native app — complete with an icon, full-screen mode, and offline support. Works on both iOS and Android.
