What we did

What we changed

  1. 01

    Photo recognition — Snap a product and AI fills in the name, brand, category, expiry date and PAO. Add a whole receipt at once from a photo or PDF.

  2. 02

    Expiry and PAO under control — For opened products it tracks the period after opening. Alerts and the expiry calendar tell you what to use up first.

  3. 03

    Shared shelves — Invite your partner or family with a link sent to their email. Invitees use the shelf for free; sharing needs a Plus owner.

  4. 04

    Stats and yearly recap — What you spend by month and category, what you actually use up and what you throw away. Stats are free for everyone.
