Capture
Scan a grocery receipt and extract the store, date, totals, and item lines while the shop is still fresh.
Normalize
Turn messy receipt text into repeatable item history that can survive typos, abbreviations, and store formats.
Compare
Review prices with their original source, so price memory stays useful without pretending to be a live shelf feed.
A sharper public story than a receipt scanner.
Product problem
Household grocery spend is hard to remember item-by-item once the receipt is gone.
Design position
Useful memory over noisy optimization: source-labelled context, not fake certainty.
Engineering shape
React Native, Expo, OCR, normalized item records, and a real-time backend.
Privacy stance
Receipt and household spend data is treated as personal information, with legal and support pages published from day one.
