GroceryOS turns grocery receipts into a living pantry. Scan a paper receipt and review the detected item names, quantities, and prices before they are added — without retyping the whole trip. EVERYTHING BETWEEN CHECKOUT AND YOUR FRIDGE • Multi-page receipt scanning with on-device text recognition • Smart expiration estimates that adapt as you consume and discard food • Weekly or monthly budgets with forecasts and spending reports • Shopping lists based on what is running low, expiring, or repeatedly purchased • Meal planning that prioritizes ingredients you already have • Price history, best-buy insights, cheapest-trip planning, and favorite price alerts PRIVACY AND CONTROL Core grocery records and receipt images remain on your device. No account is required for core features, and GroceryOS has no advertising or cross-app tracking. Optional Gmail receipt import uses Google OAuth. Pro meal suggestions use on-device Apple Intelligence on supported devices running iOS 26 or later, with Apple Intelligence enabled and its model available. Pantry ingredients and meal preferences are processed on device, not sent to a third-party AI service. The built-in recipe library remains available when Apple Intelligence is unavailable.
