## What is iGarde?

Know what is in your kitchen, see what needs using first and keep your pantry accurate without rebuilding a spreadsheet.

UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN YOUR WAY
• Scan a paper receipt.
• Choose receipt screenshots or photos already on your iPhone.
• Import a receipt image or PDF inside iGarde.
• Share a receipt image to iGarde, then confirm it in the app.
• Choose kitchen photos or a short video for an optional visual sweep.
• Add an item manually with no AI processing.

REVIEW BEFORE YOUR PANTRY CHANGES
Receipt and kitchen updates wait in Kitchen Inbox. Check what was found and apply the update only when you are ready. High-confidence suggestions are not applied automatically.

USE FOOD BEFORE IT GOES
Today shows what needs attention. Mark an item Used, Binned or Still have, track quantity and storage, and keep expiry reminders useful.

CLEAR AI CHOICES
Receipt OCR and initial matching happen on your iPhone. If you choose receipt AI cleanup, iGarde sends receipt text—not the image or PDF—to Anthropic in the United States. Visual analysis is separate and sends only photos you choose, or still frames iGarde selects on your iPhone from a video you choose; the original video and its audio are never sent. iGarde asks before either AI route and lets you withdraw permission in Settings.

iGarde is designed for iPhone and uses UK English, dates, currency and kitchen terminology.
