GroceryGuard

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built GroceryGuard after a scary experience that motivated me to create something that could help other families. ## The Story 😰 Last year, there was a major Listeria outbreak in bagged salad. Weeks after buying it, I saw the recall on the news. I had no idea if I bought the affected brand or lot number. Receipt? Long gone. Store? Can't remember which one. That moment made me realize: most families have ZERO idea what's in their fridge when recalls happen. ## The Solution ✨ GroceryGuard automatically matches your grocery receipts against FDA food recalls: 1. **📸 Scan receipt** → AI extracts items, stores, dates 2. **🤖 Auto-matching** → System checks against FDA database 24/7 3. **🚨 Get alerts** → Push notification if something you bought is recalled 4. **👨‍👩‍👧 Family sharing** → Everyone in the family sees alerts ## What Makes It Different? 🌟 Unlike other receipt apps, GroceryGuard focuses on **family safety first**: - Real-time recall monitoring (not manual checking) - Family group collaboration (not just individual use) - Privacy-focused (all data encrypted, never sold) The spending analytics and digital receipt storage are nice bonuses, but the core mission is keeping families safe. ## The Tech Stack 🛠️ - SwiftUI for iOS (native performance) - Python/Django backend - Firebase auth (phone number login) - OpenAI for receipt parsing - FDA API integration for recalls ## What's Next? 🚀 This is v1.1 - already live on the App Store with: - ✅ Receipt scanning with AI - ✅ Food recall matching - ✅ Family sharing - ✅ Spending analytics - ✅ Account management (just added per Apple requirements) **Coming soon:** - 🔜 Price comparison across stores - 🔜 Budget recommendations - 🔜 Meal planning integration - 🔜 Android version ## Try It! 🎁 **Free features:** - 5 scans per day - 30-day receipt history - Basic recall alerts **Premium ($3.99/mo or $39.99/yr):** - Unlimited scans - Unlimited history - Priority recall alerts - Family groups (up to 6 members) 👉 **30-day free trial** ## Feedback Welcome! 💬 I'd genuinely love your feedback: - What features would you want to see? - Any concerns about privacy/data? - Too expensive?
