Psst is a shared shopping list. The useful part is that it remembers what you paid. Photograph a receipt and the lines come back structured, each one showing a crop of the row it came from and what that item cost last time, and where. Most of the work went into not saying so when it isn't sure. Two prices in different units are never compared, and comparison is on unit price, not the line total: buying 2kg instead of 1kg is not a price rise. iOS and Android.
