🥝 Kiwi
Part of the CircuitForge LLC "AI for the tasks the system made hard on purpose" suite.
Pantry tracking and leftover recipe suggestions.
Scan barcodes, photograph receipts, and get recipe ideas based on what you already have — before it expires.
LLM support is optional. Inventory tracking, barcode scanning, expiry alerts, CSV export, and receipt upload all work without any LLM configured. AI features (receipt OCR, recipe suggestions, meal planning) activate when a backend is available and are BYOK-unlockable at any tier.

What it does
- Inventory tracking — add items by barcode scan, receipt upload, or manually
- Expiry alerts — know what's about to go bad
- Recipe browser — browse the full recipe corpus by cuisine, meal type, dietary preference, or main ingredient; pantry match percentage shown inline (Free)
- Saved recipes — bookmark any recipe with notes, a 0–5 star rating, and free-text style tags (Free); organize into named collections (Paid)
- Receipt OCR — extract line items from receipt photos automatically (Paid tier, BYOK-unlockable)
- Recipe suggestions — four levels from pantry-match to full LLM generation (Paid tier, BYOK-unlockable)
- Style auto-classifier — LLM suggests style tags (comforting, hands-off, quick, etc.) for saved recipes (Paid tier, BYOK-unlockable)
- Leftover mode — prioritize nearly-expired items in recipe ranking (Free, 5/day; unlimited at Paid+)
- LLM backend config — configure inference via
circuitforge-coreenv-var system; BYOK unlocks Paid AI features at any tier - Feedback FAB — in-app feedback button; status probed on load, hidden if CF feedback endpoint unreachable
