This app is part of the app "Grocy: Self-hosted Grocery Management", available on Google Play at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.zedler.patrick.grocy.

Grocy is a self-hosted groceries and household management solution for your home. Please visit grocy.info for more information about the project.
Grocy for Android uses grocy's official API to provide you a beautiful interface on your phone with powerful barcode scanning and intuitive batch processing, all what you need to efficiently manage your groceries.

The app has two barcode scanners included, ZXing and ML Kit.

Advantages of ML Kit over ZXing:
• Uses machine learning
• Super-fast scanning
• Latest technologies
• Almost no false results
• Orientation of barcodes does not matter
• Even works with fuzzy or low contrast barcodes

To use ML Kit, you need to install this unlock app. This requires either a one-time purchase here in the Play Store or downloading the APK from GitHub. Why we have made this decision?

You can enjoy Grocy for Android completely ad-free. This means that we have not received anything for our work so far. However, because the development takes a lot of time, work and motivation, we would be very happy if you buy the unlock app. Surely the earned money does not reflect the effort, but we are motivated to further improve the app!
There would also be donations, that's true. Unfortunately, Google prohibits any form of payment if there is no service in return. That's why we have included this unlock feature.

If you don't want to support us, you can also download the unlock app for free on GitHub at github.com/patzly/grocy-android-unlock. Grocy Android and the unlock app are open source and will remain so forever.

Let's go, thanks in advance!
Dominic & Patrick Zedler

You need at least Grocy Android v2.0.0 for the unlocking feature to work.
