Zesto | Buddy

Zesto is your smart kitchen companion. Scan grocery receipts in seconds, auto-extract items and prices, track your pantry and expiry dates, and get AI-powered recipes based on what you already have. Spend less time managing food and more time enjoying it. Why you’ll love it: 1. Scan & Parse Receipts: Fast OCR to turn paper receipts into structured items with no manual typing. 2. Pantry & Expiry Tracking: See what’s in stock, quantities, categories, and upcoming expirations at a glance. 3. AI Recipes From Your Pantry: Personalized ideas that use ingredients you already own, with steps and nutrition. 4. Smart Shopping Lists: Generate lists from recipes or low-stock items and check them off at the store. 5. Store Finder: Locate nearby grocery stores and get directions with integrated maps. 6. Optional Sync: Use the app fully on-device; sign in only if you want cloud sync across devices. Under the hood: Built with SwiftUI and a modern architecture for speed and reliability. On-device data uses SwiftData; image processing uses Apple’s Vision framework; AI parsing and assistant features leverage secure APIs; location powers the store finder. Privacy: 1. Core features work without an account. 2. Camera access is used to scan receipts; Photos access is used if you import an image. 3. Location is used to show nearby stores. 4. Data is stored on-device with optional cloud sync if you sign in. Made with love by Shaashvat Mittal and Saisrivathsan Manikandan.
