Cart Buddy actually started by accident. It began as a design for a simple product scanner that could read barcodes and provide information about items.

As I explored the idea, I decided to expand it into something more useful—a tool that helps users create organized shopping lists, track items in the store, and calculate totals before reaching the register.

Currently, it’s set up with a sample store layout, but I’ve added functionality for users to sign in with Gmail and create their own store layouts, making the app practical for real-world shopping. This is my first project with sign-in capabilities, and it’s exciting to see it working for anyone, anywhere. In the future, I hope to allow users to upload store layouts easily via QR codes or links, further enhancing the shopping experience.

I'm just starting small with this project for now and I am excited to see what you as my initial testers will say and make it the best I can for as many people as possible.
Have you ever used a product and wondered how you ever lived without it? You pause, chuckle at how inconvenient things used to be, and then get back to your day—realizing that this small thing has actually changed your life in a meaningful way.

I had that “how did I ever live without this?” moment recently while trying Cart Buddy in my local grocery store. Setting up the store layout and entering prices for the items I regularly buy did take some time, but it was completely worth it. Now, I know I’ll use it all the time—and I plan to set it up for other stores I frequent soon.
I’ll admit, I don’t usually use many apps myself, so realizing I had created something I genuinely wanted to use was both surprising and incredibly satisfying. It even made me laugh—just the other week, before testing the app, I realized we had run out of toilet paper after a long day with my daughter. Luckily, I keep a spare roll, but I knew the next trip to the store would have been for nothing but TP. Now, with this little app, I won’t be forgetting anything important again!
Cart Buddy has grown far beyond its original design as a simple Figma project for a product scanner. One idea led to another, and it evolved into a functional tool I can actually use. Even if I’m the only one who ever uses it, it’s already been completely worth my time. That said, I hope you enjoy it too—and I’d love your feedback on how it could be even better.
