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).

Stockd is a personal kitchen inventory app. Track what's in your pantry, see what's about to expire, and discover recipes you can make from what you already have. — What you can do — Track every item in your kitchen with categories, locations, and expiration dates. Add items by scanning the barcode (it pulls product info from Open Food Facts), by scanning the "best by" date with your camera, or by typing it in. Bulk-scan a fresh grocery haul in one session. See what's expiring soon at a glance. Stockd uses date-based urgency pills — "Today," "Soon," "Past best-by" — so the items that need attention come to the top without the app shaming you for ordinary kitchen life. Best-by and use-by dates are about quality, not safety; Stockd treats them that way. Cook from what you have. Tap "Cook from my pantry" and Stockd suggests recipes that prioritize ingredients you already own. Add a recipe to your meal plan and Stockd offers to add the missing ingredients straight to your grocery list — no manual transcribing. Build your grocery list from what your week actually needs. Add items by hand, by barcode, or directly from a meal plan recipe. Share a pantry with one household member at no charge. Roommates, partners, parents, kids old enough to read a label — anyone who shops or cooks in the same kitchen. — Stockd Pro ($4.99/month, $29.99/year) — • Unlimited AI recipe suggestions (free tier gets 5 per month) • AI-generated recipe images • Step-by-step cooking instructions • Bulk "add all missing ingredients" from a recipe to your grocery list in one tap • Multi-member household sharing (3+ members) Subscription auto-renews until cancelled in your Apple ID Settings. Cancel anytime; cancellation stops the next renewal but you keep Pro features until the period ends. Stockd Pro covers one Apple ID — household members who want Pro features each subscribe separately. — Privacy — Stockd uses Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google. We don't access your photos library, your contacts, or your location. AI suggestions are powered by Google Gemini; recipe images by Google Imagen. We don't sell your data and we don't track you across other apps.
