Print or Export Your Grocery List

Prefer a paper list? Or want to save your grocery list somewhere outside the app? Cookonut lets you print your list or export it as text.

Printing Your Grocery List

1. Go to the List tab
2. Tap the ••• icon to open the Options sheet
3. Choose Print
4. Your phone’s print dialog opens
5. Select your printer and tap Print

The printed list is clean and well-formatted:

• Items grouped by category
• Quantities included
• Checkboxes next to each item for manual checking while shopping
• Compact layout that fits on one or two pages

Printing Tips

• Print after reviewing the list — check off items you already have and remove extras before printing
• The printed list includes empty checkboxes — you can check items off with a pen while shopping
• Print in black and white to save ink — the list is designed to be readable without color

Exporting as Text

If you don’t need a physical printout but want the list outside Cookonut:

1. Go to the List tab
2. Tap the ••• icon to open the Options sheet
3. Choose Share as text
4. From the system share sheet, copy it or send it to any app — Notes, a document, an email, a chat

The exported text is formatted for readability with categories and quantities.

Need a document instead? The same Options sheet has an Export PDF option that produces a clean PDF of your list.

Exporting to Other Apps

Using the system share sheet, you can send your grocery list to:

• Notes apps (Apple Notes, Google Keep, etc.)
• To-do apps (Todoist, Things, etc.)
• Email — send it to yourself or a family member
• Documents — paste into a Google Doc or Word file

When to Print vs. Use the App

Use the app when:

• You want to check items off digitally
• Your phone will be with you in the store
• You want to share the list with someone else electronically

Print when:

• You prefer pen and paper
• Your phone battery might not last
• Multiple people will shop from the same list at the same time
• You like the tactile satisfaction of crossing items off

Export when:

• You want a backup
• You use another task management system
• You want to keep a record of what you bought

Print and Export Are Free

Printing and exporting your grocery list are available on all plans, including the free tier.
