CheckIt is a user-centered shopping list management WatchOS app, designed to streamline the grocery shopping experience.
Shoppers often face challenges managing their shopping lists efficiently, leading to confusion, missed items, and unnecessary purchases. Traditional paper lists and digital apps lack intuitive interfaces and real-time list update based on the location. Moreover, ticking off the items from the paper list or phone while shopping is not convenient, because it requires both hands.
During the ideation phase of this project, I explored ways to enhance the shopping list management experience. I identified that while a mobile app is more convenient for adding items to the list, a smartwatch app offers a more seamless experience for ticking off items while shopping. Based on these insights, I decided to focus on designing a WatchOS application that allows users to efficiently mark items as they shop. This ideation phase was solely centered on the smartwatch experience, without considering the design of a mobile app.
The solution is CheckIt, a WatchOS app that provides a user-friendly interface for ticking off items on the shopping list while shopping. The app features a simple and intuitive design that allows users to view their list, categorize items, mark them as found or out of stock, and smartly sort the list based on the user's location in the store.
