Planning a list and shopping from it are two different kinds of attention. Planning is deliberate — sitting down, thinking through what's actually needed. Shopping is one-handed, moving through a store, half-distracted by a cart, a kid, or a phone call.
Switch a list into Shop Mode and it becomes read-mostly: item names stop being editable, notes switch from an editable field to plain display text, and each item's options menu (rename, retag, delete) disappears. What's left is exactly what you need in the aisle — the item, its quantity, and a checkbox to mark it bought.
Without it, a phone screen bumped against a cart handle mid-aisle can accidentally retype an item's name or clear a tag — and nobody notices until the shared list looks wrong for the whole household later. Shop Mode makes the device you're actually shopping from temporarily locked against exactly that, without affecting anyone else's copy of the list.
Shop Mode is free on every Shopolit plan. Get started free.
No — it only changes how the list behaves on your own device. Nobody else's screen changes because you turned it on.
Yes — ticking items off is the one thing Shop Mode is built for. It's editing (renaming an item, changing a tag, adding a note) that's locked while it's on.
