Part 3 · Tuesday 17:42
Thirty minutesin the supermarket.
You arrive, Noor's there too, Sam's helping from home. And of course the chicken has just sold out. Walk the whole trip, from the car park until you head home.
Start at 17:42Chapter 1 ·
You arrive
You don't have to open the app. Umeli notices you're at one of your own stores.
-
One notification, at the right moment
Stay at your supermarket for a minute and you get a notification with what's on the list. Just driving past? Nothing happens. Rather skip it? Choose Not today.
-
On your Lock Screen
A Live Activity shows which store you're in, who else is there and how much is left to get. One tap takes you to the live list.
-
Your loyalty card is ready
On the first moment of each visit your card sits above the list for a minute, with the screen at full brightness. Scan and go. After that it's behind a button, and it works without signal too.
Chapter 2 ·
Shopping together
Noor heads the other way. You hold the same list, and it's alive.
-
The list walks with you
The groups follow the order of the store, and your screen stays on. While someone's shopping, you all see this live list, also whoever's at home.
-
"I'll get this"
Swipe right a little to claim something. The other sees who's getting what right away, so you don't both walk to the tomatoes. What Noor checks off moves to In the cart.
-
Home joins in
When something's added it lights up with a soft tap, and who did it shows at the top. So Sam can see at home what's in the cart and quickly add one more thing.
-
Can I take that over?
Noor's already by the cheese you claimed? She asks to take it over and you tap Allow. No messages, no walking there twice.
Chapter 3 ·
Something's sold out
The chicken for Thursday's bowl isn't there. This is the moment a dish changes course.
-
Not found
Swipe further and the item stays open, showing who couldn't find it. So the other knows there's no point looking. If it's for a dish, What now? appears.
-
What now?
Umeli looks at the dish and at who's at the table. You get a first advice right away, then checked advice: something similar, something different, or it works without. Sometimes there's no good replacement, and Umeli says so too.
-
One tap, and it adds up again
Choose Put on the list. The replacement goes on the list with a note saying what it's for, and your recipe gets its own version with the change. The original stays. So on Thursday the right step is simply there in cooking mode.
Chapter 4 ·
Where's Noor?
Nearly done, and you've lost each other between the aisles.
-
Asking, not following
While shopping you see if the other is close, nearby or far away. To know exactly where, you ask. The other sees the request and chooses Allow or Decline.
-
Follow the arrow
A big arrow with the distance, and your phone ticks for every metre closer. Without direction you get warmer and colder.
-
Right here
You're side by side. The permission goes by itself as soon as one of you leaves the store.
Chapter 5 ·
Heading home
Pay, scan your card, and go.
-
The store lets you go
Walk out and the Live Activity disappears. What you checked off stays checked. Anything you still had claimed is released with a note, so Noor can take it over.
And there's more
Several cards
One card per chain per person. You turn on sharing with your household per card, and everyone sees only what's shared.
Easy to add
Scan your card with the camera, pick a photo or type the number.
Two stores side by side
Within reach of two stores? Umeli asks where you are.
No signal
No signal at the back of the store? Your loyalty card keeps working.
Full circle
Everything's ready at home.
Tuesday 18:15: the bags are on the counter. Time to cook.
