Every year thousands of foods, medicines, toys, and household products are recalled — but the notices are scattered across government websites almost nobody reads. RecallGuard closes that gap: tell it what's in your home once, and it watches the official sources every day. PROTECT A WHOLE SHELF IN ONE TAP Point your camera at a pantry, fridge, or cabinet. RecallGuard identifies the products it can actually see and checks every one against 17,000+ recall notices instantly. No typing, no barcode hunting. SNAP A RECEIPT Photograph a paper receipt (or paste an order email) and we'll pull out the products — plus the store and purchase date printed on it. Prices and payment details are never read or stored. ALERTS THAT MATTER When a recall matches something you own, you get an alert with the official notice, the hazard in the agency's own words, and exactly what to do. We never bury you in noise: alerts fire only for your items, your family profile, or your saved purchases. DID WE ALREADY EAT IT? For a recalled food, tell us when you bought it and we'll place your purchase against the recall's timeline — honestly. We'll show you the lot codes to check and link the official notice. We never guess and never say "safe" when we can't know. GET YOUR MONEY BACK When the official notice offers a refund, replacement, or repair, RecallGuard shows the real claim link or phone number from the notice itself, step-by-step instructions, and a ready-to-send claim letter. Track each claim from "to do" to "resolved." BUILT FOR FAMILIES Share one household with your family — everyone sees the same inventory, and everyone gets the alert. Add allergies and kids' ages to be warned about allergen and children's-product recalls even for things you haven't cataloged. WHAT WE CHECK • FDA food, drug, and device recalls • USDA/FSIS meat and poultry recalls • CPSC consumer product recalls • NHTSA vehicle and car-seat recalls (add your VIN) Sources are checked continuously, every day. PRIVACY FIRST Your inventory is private to your household. Shelf and receipt photos are processed once and never stored. Purchase history is opt-in, minimal (product, brand, date, store — never prices or payment data), auto-deleted after 12 months, and deletable any time. Export or delete your account and data whenever you want, from inside the app. RecallGuard is free to start. Premium and Family plans add unlimited items and household sharing. SUBSCRIPTIONS RecallGuard Premium (US$4.99/month) and RecallGuard Family (US$9.99/month) are auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RecallGuard at 100% against Shortcuts & Scriptable's 15%. RecallGuard also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Shortcuts & Scriptable's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
