The full app tutorial

The first time you open Stocked, a short interactive tour walks you through everything — one tap at a time. No account required to read along: here's exactly what it shows you, screen by screen.

Home & Households
Home tab

Every household starts here — create it, open it, and see what each section of the detail screen is for.

1
Welcome to Stocked
Stocked helps you track everyday household supplies — so you always know what you have and what you need. You start by creating your first household.
Tap "Add Household"
2
Your first household
Your household is ready. Tapping the card opens it up to explore what's inside.
Tap the household card
3
Members
See everyone in the household. Invite a partner or flatmate by email — they'll see every update in real time.
4
Products
This card summarizes everything tracked in the household, including how many categories your products are organized into.
5
Categories
Products can be grouped into categories like Fridge, Cleaning, or Pantry. There aren't any yet — you'll create some in the next step.
6
Actions
Rename the household, manage products, invite members, and more — all from here.
Products
Products tab

Add what you actually keep stocked, tag it by category, and learn the one-tap status cycle that runs the whole app.

7
Head to Products
Time to add some products.
Tap the Products tab
8
Add your first product
Tap Add Product, give it a name and a category. For example: "Milk" in the "Fridge" category.
Add a product with a name and category
9
Add a timed product
Add another product, this time with a supply duration — say "Coffee" in "Pantry" with a 2-week supply. Stocked automatically flips its status when the supply runs out.
Set a supply duration
10
Filtering by category
Tap a category tab to filter the product grid down to just that group. Long-press a category to rename or delete it.
11
Stock levels
Every product cycles through three levels: In Stock → Low → Out. One tap moves it to Low — a sign you'll need to buy more soon.
Tap once to mark Low
12
Supply duration in action
See the progress fill on the timed product? It counts down automatically and flips to Out on its own when supply runs out — or you can tap it twice to set it manually.
Tap twice to mark Out
Restock
Restock tab

Everything you marked Low or Out lands here automatically — no separate shopping list to maintain.

13
Your Restock list
Low and Out products are collected here automatically — nothing to add by hand.
Tap the Restock tab
14
Mark items as restocked
Tap a product to mark it back In Stock. You get a 2-second undo window in case you tap the wrong one.
Tap to restock, with undo
Extras
Extras tab

A freeform, shared, one-off list for anything that isn't a regular tracked staple.

15
One-off shopping
Extras is your personal one-off list — for anything that isn't a regular tracked staple.
Tap the Extras tab
16
Add items freely
Type anything you need to pick up — a recipe ingredient, a birthday card, whatever's on your mind.
Add items to the list
17
Check items off
Tap each item once you've picked it up. You get 2 seconds to undo before it's gone for good.
Tap to check off, with undo
Settings & Done
Settings tab

The last stop, and where you'll come back to whenever you want to tweak how the app works for you.

18
Settings
Last stop — explore your profile and preferences.
Tap the Settings tab
19
You're all set 🎉
From Settings you can change your name and avatar, switch between light and dark mode, enable Face ID / fingerprint sign-in, configure household notifications, and explore upgrade plans. Enjoy Stocked!
