I built an app that scans grocery receipts and shows exactly where your food money goes
📣 We want to hear from you on a side project that is moving fast. Android only for now.
What is it?
My wife and I realized we had zero visibility into our food spending. We'd guess $600 a month. Well, turns out it was over $900.
So I built BiteSpend. You snap a photo of your receipt (or manual entries), and AI extracts every item, price, and store in about 3 seconds. After a few weeks it starts telling you things like:
- "You're eating out 5x/week — cutting once saves $140/month"
- "You've used 82% of your grocery budget with 12 days left"
Food is the biggest controllable expense for most families (avg $12,700/year per USDA), but nobody tracks it at the item level.
Still early — collecting emails for when we launch on the Play Store. Would love feedback on whether this solves a real problem or if I'm building something only I want.
