ClearEats helps you reduce food waste by intelligently tracking what's in your fridge. Using AI vision technology, we turn your phone into a smart fridge assistant. Here's how: • Scan anything - take a photo of groceries and our system automatically recognizes items, reads expiration dates from labels, and even estimates dates for fresh produce. Works with individual items or bulk shopping cart photos. • Never forget what's expiring - get push notifications 1-14 days before items go bad (you choose the timing). We'll remind you so nothing gets wasted. • Stay safe with allergen detection - AI scans product labels for 14 common allergens including nuts, dairy, shellfish, and gluten. Optional and respects your privacy. • Auto-cleanup your fridge - expired items can be automatically removed from your inventory after you choose how many days. Set it and forget it. • Track everything visually - see your entire fridge inventory with photos and color-coded status indicators (green = fresh, orange = expiring soon, red = expired). • Cook smarter with AI recipes - Premium feature that generates recipes based on what's actually in your fridge. No more wondering what to make for dinner. • Understand your nutrition - Premium feature providing detailed nutritional analysis with charts and macro breakdowns for all your fridge items. • Works offline first - All data stored locally on your device. Images never leave your phone unless you use AI features. Privacy-focused design. • Manual entry always available - Don't want to use AI? You can always add items manually with unlimited entries. ClearEats includes both a free version (10 scans/week) and a premium subscription ($3.99/month for 100 scans/week plus recipe generation and nutrition analysis).
