Pantry & Receipt App

A household tool that turns receipt photos into a live pantry inventory — and doubles as an expense tracker.

How It Works

Upload a receipt photo → Google Cloud Vision extracts the raw text → Claude Haiku decodes store abbreviations, identifies each food item, assigns shelf life, and extracts the purchase date → items land in the pantry automatically. The AI understands store context: HMart means Korean groceries, Ranch 99 means Chinese groceries, Costco means bulk sizing.

Key Features

• AI receipt parsing — single Claude Haiku call decodes the entire OCR text, filters non-food items, deduplicates, and flags ambiguous items for review
• Per-variety shelf life — strawberries vs. blueberries vs. dragon fruit each get different estimates
• Retrospective purchase dates — Claude extracts the receipt date so shelf life starts from when you actually bought it
• Review flags — amber ring on items Claude was not sure about
• Category filter — Produce, Dairy, Meat, Frozen, Pantry, Other
• Used / Toss / Edit / Delete — full item lifecycle management
• Receipt consolidator — scans any receipt, extracts date/vendor/amount/category, exports as TSV for Google Sheets
• Multi-user accounts — household members share the same pantry and receipts
