Out of milk. Out of tissues. Out of diapers โ€” again. And the one time you send someone to the shop, the list stays on the kitchen counter. Rotee reminds you before your household essentials run out, keeps one shared list for the whole family, and lets everyone know the moment an item is bought. No more "did you get it?" calls. ESSENTIALS TRACKING Add and manage all your household essentials with categories (Bathroom, Kitchen, Personal Care, Cleaning & more), priority levels, restock dates, and product links. Use "Due Soon" and "Overdue" badges to stay ahead โ€” and switch between Upcoming, Bought, and Future list views at a glance. Bulk-select items to buy by retailer or copy your list in one tap. Paste from Apple Notes to bulk-create essentials instantly. SMART REMINDERS & INBOX Get timely reminders before you run out. Your Inbox shows everything due or coming up. Quiet hours ensure you're never disturbed during sleep. From any notification, mark as done, snooze, or go straight to buy โ€” in one tap. BARCODE & RECEIPT SCANNING Scan any product barcode to quickly identify and add items to your list. Scan receipts and invoices using your camera โ€” Rotee uses AI-powered OCR to automatically extract merchant, items, totals, and taxes and log them as purchases (Premium). SHOPPING MADE EASY Heading to the supermarket? Rotee doubles as your in-store shopping checklist. Open your due items, grouped by category, and tick them off as you walk through each aisle โ€” no pen and paper needed. Back home, mark everything as bought in one go. Online shoppers can tap directly to their item's product page on their preferred store. Set and rank your preferred retailers (Shopee, Lazada, Central Online, Big C & more) with country-based filtering. AI-POWERED FEATURES Rotee uses AI to suggest the best search terms for finding your essentials online, and to read and interpret receipt photos for automatic expense tracking. All AI features run securely with no user-supplied keys required. EXPENSES & BUDGET Track monthly household spending, set a budget, and watch your progress in real time. View breakdowns by category, filter by personal or household expenses, and navigate month by month. ANALYTICS See your total purchases, amount spent, average rating, and your most-purchased essentials โ€” all in one place. HOUSEHOLD & FAMILY SHARING Create or join a household group, invite family members by email or link, and share one essentials list. When anyone marks an item as bought, the rest of the household is notified in real time โ€” so nobody buys it twice or forgets it. PROFILE & PREFERENCES Set your display name, profile photo, preferred language (English, Thai, Arabic with RTL, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified, Vietnamese), and currency. Connect with Google or Apple. Full account management included.
