Here is a screen recording of the watch app and the phone app in action. The watch app is the star here for me. The phone app isn't much to brag about, but it gets the job done.
This app was originally created to work with the Pebble Watch, and to have the shopping lists backed by Evernote. Later support for the Apple Watch was added. Over the years, Evernote became harder and harder to work with, and the app code got old and creaky. Finally I did a full rewrite using SwiftUI and included only Apple Watch support, since my Pebble watches had stopped functioning years ago. I still miss the mechanical buttons, and don't care much for the touch screen.
