Kiwi by Circuit Forge LLC — Pantry tracking + leftover recipe suggestions; barcode/receipt OCR
- Add migration 021: recipe_browser_fts FTS5 table on category + keywords columns, eliminating LIKE '%keyword%' full sequential scans on 3.1M rows - _count_recipes_for_keywords now uses FTS5 MATCH (O(log N) vs O(N)) - browse_recipes reuses cached count, eliminating the second COUNT(*) scan per page request; ORDER BY r.id replaces the unindexed ORDER BY title sort - Module-level _COUNT_CACHE keyed by (db_path, keywords) means domain-switch category counts are computed once per process lifetime feat(find): dietary preset grid, Big 9 allergen pills, Hard Day Mode surface - Dietary constraints replaced with toggle-button preset grid (8 options) + free-text "Other" field; removes dense freeform text input - Allergies replaced with Big 9 pill picker (peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, sesame) + "Other" for custom entries - Hard Day Mode surfaced as a standalone aria-pressed button above the dietary collapsible; no longer buried inside a collapsed section - Active-state dot indicators on both collapsibles show filter engagement at a glance without expanding fix(a11y): aria-describedby wiring for wildcard checkbox and tag inputs (#40) - Persistent hint spans replace placeholder-only instructions for constraint and allergy fields (WCAG 3.3.2) fix(browse): auto-select highest-count category on domain switch (#41) - Eliminates the 3-decision cold start (domain → category → content) - Surprise Me button added for zero-decision random navigation |

🥝 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.
Status: Beta · CircuitForge LLC
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 (Premium tier)
- 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
