IngrediCheck

Hello HN, longtime lurker, finally I have something to show :) IngrediCheck is a Food Scanning App. It is meant to help with Grocery Shopping, for people who have unique dietary restrictions or preferences. I made it because we were reading too many food labels when Grocery Shopping. If you are shopping for a family, the list of dietary restrictions can get long. The way it works is 1. You enter your dietary restrictions or preferences in natural language. This can be quite flexible. Examples: - I am allergic to oats and peanuts. - I want to avoid seed oils. - Dr Berg on YouTube said avoid…

IngrediCheck launched on August 12, 2025 with 9 votes, #2,165 of 8,530 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

IngrediCheck makes grocery shopping simple for anyone with dietary restrictions. Save your needs in plain language, scan a food label, and instantly know if it’s a fit—plus, save your favorite finds so they’re never forgotten.

Free food ingredient checker. Scan a barcode or ingredient list to see if a food fits your allergies, diets, and family food notes, in plain English.

See Matched, Unmatched, or Uncertain for each person's food notes, with the why in plain English. Neutral ingredient guidance in plain English. You decide what fits your household. Most labels list ingredients, but they do not tell you what fits each person in your household. Ingredient lists are packed with technical names, but they rarely tell you what those ingredients mean for daily shopping. The same product has to work for parents, kids, allergies, and avoid-lists, but the label treats every shopper the same. You still have to determine whether a product is Matched, Unmatched, or Uncertain before it reaches your cart. IngrediCheck turns that label into a plain-English decision you can…from ingredicheck.app

  • GroceryTrip – Turn receipts into nutritional information2023 · github.com · ▲18

    Hey HN, I've been working on a Flutter app for the past few months that turns receipts into useful nutrition information. The aim of this project is to make it easier to understand the nutrition and ingredients in our groceries simply by scanning a receipt. How GroceryTrip works (more detail in github repo): 1. Take a photo of your receipt (remains local, there's a demo receipt in the app if you don't have one on-hand) 2. Crop photo to relevant barcodes/names of products 3. View receipt Summary/Details 4. Optional: Contribute missing barcodes It's a super simple app currently, but…

    I built this web-app to solve my own food waste problem. It uses a dual-mode AI engine: you can either input what's in your fridge to get a recipe, or search for a dish to get the ingredient list. I focused on making the UI as simple as possible so it’s actually usable while cooking. It supports multiple languages and I'm currently working on integrating grocery delivery APIs to automate the shopping part. I am curious to hear your thoughts on the recipe accuracy and the UI flow

  • Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…
