## What is CaiCai?

CaiCai helps you know what is in your fridge, use food before it expires, and decide what to cook without extra effort.

SMART FRIDGE
Track ingredients and expiry dates in one place. CaiCai sorts food by urgency so you can see what should be used first.

RECIPE IDEAS
Get recipe suggestions based on the ingredients you already have. The app prioritizes food that needs attention and helps you avoid the daily "what should I cook?" loop.

QUICK RECEIPT IMPORT
Paste or scan a common grocery receipt to add items faster. Parsed items are shown for confirmation before they are added, and prices can be edited when a store format is unclear.

FOOD LEDGER
See what you bought, what you used, and what is left. Keep the numbers simple without turning cooking into a finance project.

EXPIRY REMINDERS
Turn on reminders for 2 days before, 1 day before, and on the expiry date.

CaiCai works in English and Simplified Chinese. Your fridge, saved recipes, and ledger data stay the same when you switch languages.

Some receipt formats vary by store. Check the parsed list before importing.

Privacy: CaiCai does not collect personal information. Your data is stored on your device, and Pro users can sync through iCloud.
