Read full description

ShelfSense Pro is the AI-powered inventory app that finally tells you what's in your freezer, when it expires, and what to cook tonight. INVENTORY THAT MAKES SENSE Stop guessing where you put the receipt for the TV. ShelfSense records every item in your home with a photo, a category, and a location you actually use — kitchen, garage, office, bedroom — so finding things takes seconds, not hours. AI CHEF ASSISTANT Ask "what can I make with chicken and rice?" and ShelfSense checks your actual pantry first. Built-in AI chef suggests recipes, storage tips, and "use it up" ideas based on what's about to expire. No more throwing out food. SMART PHOTO RECOGNITION (PRO) Snap a photo of an item and ShelfSense fills in the name, category, and expiration date automatically. Built on Apple's Vision framework — fast, private, and works offline. EXPIRY & WARRANTY ALERTS Set an expiry date once and ShelfSense reminds you 3 days before — never discover spoiled milk again. Warranty dates get the same treatment for electronics. iCLOUD SYNC (PRO) Add an item on your iPhone at home, see it on your iPad at the store. Your inventory follows you across every Apple device, automatically. POWERFUL SEARCH Filter by color, room, category, or any keyword. Find "the warranty card in the bedroom drawer" in two taps. BUILT FOR PRIVACY ShelfSense runs entirely on your device. No accounts. No tracking. Photos never leave your iPhone unless you choose to export them. FREE PLAN INCLUDES • Up to 30 items • 1 photo per item • Local expiry/warranty alerts • Search & filter • 5 AI Chef messages per 30 days UNLOCK PRO ($2.99/mo or $19.99/yr) • Unlimited items & photos • Unlimited AI Chef • AI Photo Recognition (auto-fill) • iCloud sync across devices • Smart Restock export • Priority support Start free. Upgrade when you're ready. Cancel anytime.
