Pickr is an AI-powered produce ripeness detector that tells you exactly when your produce is ready to eat. Just open the app, point your camera, and get an instant ripeness rating from “unripe” to “rotten.” No guessing, squeezing, or sniffing required. Works with all common fruits and veggies. Privacy-friendly, clean design, no ads. Stop wasting money on bad produce—and actually eat what you buy.
Hey Product Hunt,
We're a team of two setting out to build straightforward apps that improve your quality of life. We both noticed we kept wasting money on fruit and veg that would go bad before we could eat them. I'd buy mangoes thinking they'd ripen in a few days, and by the time I got to them they were either overripe or mysteriously still unripe (and they stayed like that). I'd buy yellow bananas thinking they'd be ripe, but they were just as starchy as green ones. Then I'd overcompensate and wait until the next one was basically rotten.
So we figured, deep learning models have been trained on thousands of images of produce in verifiably different stages of ripeness. However, storing all the necessary machine learning algorithms on your phone just wasn't feasible for the sheer variety of fruit and veg that gets sold across the world.
Being able to call on large language models was a real game-changer, so we're proud to announce Pickr! It uses AI to analyze fruit and vegetables through your camera and tells you how ripe they are - unripe, ripe, very ripe, overripe, or rotten. You can scan produce at the grocery store before you buy it, or check what you have at home to figure out what needs to be eaten first.
We'd be interested to hear:
- Would you actually use this when you're shopping?
- Which fruits or vegetables do you struggle with the most?
- Are there features you'd want to see added?
It's free for 3 days, then $2.50/month. We kept the price low because the whole point is saving money on wasted produce, so it didn't make sense to charge a lot for it.
As our first product launch, we're excited but more than a little apprehensive; we've poured a lot of love into this product, and we plan to pour a lot more into it as time goes on.
Tell us what you think!
Thanks,
