Grocy: Self-hosted Grocery Management vs PlugBrain
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Grocy: Self-hosted Grocery Management
Grocy Android is an open-source Android client for grocy (source code). Grocy is a self-hosted groceries & household management solution for your home. Grocy Android uses grocy's official API to provide you a beautiful interface on your phone with powerful barcode scanning and intuitive batch processing, all what you need to efficiently manage your groceries. This app requires a running self-hosted instance of the grocy server application. It is a companion app, therefore it cannot run standalone or manage products itself! You can try and test all features using the demo option available on the login screen. Features: Stock overview Shopping lists with offline support In-store shopping mode (big UI elements) Fast barcode scanning OpenFoodFacts implementation Master data editing Dark mode No ads, analytics or in-app purchases Contribution: If you run into a bug or miss a feature, feel free to give feedback in the app, send us an email or open an issue on GitHub. Like the grocy project, Grocy Android can be translated, too. Please go to our GitHub page for more information. Compatibility: Grocy Android requires at least Android 5.0 Lollipop on your device and grocy 3.0.0 on your server. It is also possible to use the grocy Add-on on a Hass.io server. Our in-app help explains how to do that. We'd like to thank the developer of Grocy, Bernd Bestel, without whose great work this app would never have been possible.
PlugBrain
PlugBrain is an app that encourages regular breaks from distracting apps by blocking access at scheduled intervals. To regain access, you’ll need to solve a math challenge that adjusts in difficulty: the more frequently you use the apps, the harder the challenges become, but the longer you stay away, the easier they get. **Features** - No ads - No internet required - Blocks distracting apps - Unblock apps by solving math challenges - Difficulty increases with frequent use, decreases with focus **How to use** - Grant all required permissions - Select distracting apps - Choose your focus interval - Stay focused ;)
