Our app uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to read text from images. All processing happens on your device for maximum privacy. Simply point your camera at a receipt or product label and the app will identify items automatically.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes! We prioritize your privacy. All OCR processing happens on your device, and your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We never sell or share your personal information with third parties.
How do I add items manually?
Tap the "+" button in the pantry tab to add items manually. You can specify the name, category, quantity, expiration date, and other details.
