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.
