ShelfSense

ShelfSense is a mobile app (with optional web dashboard) that maintains a lightweight “home inventory” for groceries and everyday items without requiring you to scan every single receipt forever. You add items via quick barcode scan, voice, or a photo of your pantry/fridge; the app uses AI to suggest what’s running low based on your typical usage and the time since last purchase. It generates a realistic shopping list, groups it by store aisle, and can export to Instacart/Amazon/Apple Reminders. The honest truth: it will only work if it’s faster than your current habit, so the MVP must obsess over low-friction capture and minimal nagging. It’s not trying to replace a retailer app; it’s a cross-store “what do I actually need?” layer that reduces duplicate purchases and waste, especially for households with shared shopping.
