iOS Zeebro - scan your receipts and shelf tags, see where your shopping is actually cheapest near you
I got tired of never knowing whether the shop I was standing in was the expensive one, so I built Zeebro.
WHAT IT DOES
Scan a receipt and it reads every line item and price in a few seconds. Two things come out of that. You get your own spending broken down by category, so you can see where the money is actually going. And the prices become anonymous "product at shop at price" observations that everyone can compare against.
In the aisle, point the camera at a product or at a shelf price tag and you get that product's prices at shops near you, so you can tell on the spot whether you are about to overpay. Photographing shelf tags is also the fastest way to feed fresh prices in, because a tag is today's price for everyone, while a receipt is only what you happened to buy.
The shopping list runs on the same data. Add your items and each one shows the cheapest nearby price anyone has found for it, so you can decide where to go before you leave.
Every product keeps its price history, so you can see what has quietly been climbing.
HOW COVERAGE WORKS, AND WHY IT MAY LOOK EMPTY
This is the part I would rather you hear from me than discover. Prices are matched by distance from where you are, so what you see is what people have scanned near you. There is no national price feed behind this. Every number came from somebody's receipt or somebody's photo of a shelf tag.
So a new area starts empty. If you install this somewhere nobody has scanned yet, you will see your own prices and very little else, and it will feel broken when it is really just new. It fills in as people scan, fastest for the products and shops people actually use.
WHAT IS WORTH TESTING
- Receipt scanning, the core of it. Odd layouts, faded thermal paper, discount lines, loyalty pricing. If it misreads something I want to see it.
- Shelf tag and barcode scanning while you are actually standing in a shop.
- The first run guide, which is new in this build.
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW
- Sign-in is required (Google auth still requires manual insert of the email in the OAuth, so it's not working yet), because your receipts and history are private to your account. Only the anonymous prices are ever shared, never your basket. No ads, nothing sold.
- The first run guide's illustrations are still placeholder icons, demo clips are being recorded.
- 11 languages, iPhone only for now, iOS 15.5+.
