A shared grocery app that reads your receipts

An iOS and Android app for families to track what's in the pantry, keep one shared shopping list, and add groceries by photographing a receipt.

Challenge

Households lose track of what they already have, so the same items get bought twice while staples quietly run out. Typing every purchase into an app by hand is the reason most people stop using one.

Approach

One Expo codebase for both platforms, with Supabase handling auth, a shared household database, and receipt storage. Photographing a receipt sends it to an edge function where Claude vision extracts the line items into an editable review screen. Recipes can be scanned the same way and checked against the pantry to build the shopping list.

Outcome

A working app across pantry, shopping list, and recipes, shipped to internal iOS preview builds through EAS. Multiple family members share one inventory with realtime updates and invite codes.
