  2. PlannedHouseholds

    Shared households

    Track groceries together with partners or roommates. Shared pantries, combined spending views, and per-member insights so everyone stays on the same page.

  3. PlannedBudgeting

    Smart budget alerts

    Opt-in push notifications when you cross a category threshold, spike versus your rolling average, or blow past your monthly target.

  4. PlannedRewards

    Referral program

    Invite a friend and you both save. Built for regular customers — share a personal link, and when your friend upgrades to Pro, both of you get a free month (or an equivalent account credit).

    • Free month of Pro for you and your friend on every successful referral
    • Personal referral link with share-sheet support for iMessage, WhatsApp, and email
    • In-app tracker showing invites sent, joined, and rewards earned
  5. ShippedNotes

    Grocery trip notes

    Jot down quality calls, price comparisons, and packaging quirks on any receipt, then let them surface the next time you shop that store — or ask your AI to summarize what you’ve learned.

    • Add free-form notes to any receipt from the detail view; saved notes show as an amber callout above the items
    • Store detail pages (/store/[slug]) surface your personal trip notes with your avatar, linked back to each receipt
    • One-click AI summarize to distill multiple trips into 3–5 takeaways about quality, price, and recurring patterns
    • Exposed via MCP: new list_trip_notes tool, notes field on get_receipt, and a hasNotes flag on list_receipts
  6. ShippedReliability

    Production observability upgrade

    End-to-end Sentry tracing across the app and MCP server, plus cron monitoring for weekly and monthly email summaries so silent failures never go unnoticed.

    • Sentry user-action tracking for faster debugging
    • Cron monitors on weekly and monthly email digests
    • Git-hash build IDs for version-skew protection
  7. ShippedIntegrations

    MCP server — bring your groceries to any AI

    GroceryTrack now speaks MCP. Connect your data to Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible client via OAuth 2.1, then ask questions like "what did I buy last week?" right from your assistant.

    • OAuth 2.1 authorization flow
    • Dedicated MCP landing page with setup instructions
    • In-app promo to surface the integration to power users

  9. ShippedCharts

    Richer insights and freshness visuals

    New insight charts, a full SVG icon set for the freshness countdown, better empty states, and the dashboard now defaults to the current month so your most useful data is front and center.

    • New insight charts on the dashboard
    • Default tab switched to the current month
    • Always-available AI shopping suggestions
  10. ShippedAI

  11. ShippedLaunch

    Product Hunt launch day

    GroceryTrack launched on Product Hunt with a packed feature drop — organic spending estimator, monthly email summaries, pantry view with pagination, and search across your full purchase history.

    • Organic spending estimator
    • Monthly email summary and first-receipt welcome email
    • Pantry view with history pagination
    • Search across your full purchase history
  12. ShippedPantry

    Pantry tracking and weekly digests

    Mark items as eaten or trashed to close the loop between buying and using food, and get a weekly spending summary delivered to your inbox every Wednesday.

  13. ShippedRelease

    First version goes live

    The initial rollout of GroceryTrack — AI-powered receipt scanning, category breakdowns, and a working dashboard. Rough around the edges, but end-to-end.

  14. ShippedMilestone

    GroceryTrack is born

    The idea was born and bootstrapped on this day — one engineer, one repo, and a stack of unread grocery receipts. Everything since has been built from here.
