Everything Butler Pantry does, in one place
Six pillars, one product. Every feature runs on your own devices, and everything you enter is yours to keep. Tap any pillar to see it in plain words.
Receipt → pantry in seconds
Paste or photograph a receipt; every line becomes a pantry row (name, quantity, unit, price) with categories inferred. Costco Same Day order links work too: paste the link and the whole trip lands in your pantry at real prices, no typing the line items.
The 43-item receipt
A real Costco receipt, parsed correctly: a fixture-verified 43 of 43.
Footer never becomes food
Subtotal, tax, tip, and savings route to the trip record, and tax never appears as a pantry item.
Scan a barcode, get the details
Name, brand, nutrition grade from the open Food Facts database (3M+ products), opt-in, cached locally after the first scan.
Pantry Rescue
Photograph your shelves on first run and start with a real starter pantry.
Named spaces & FIFO
Garage Freezer #2, the basement shelf, the camper, with first-in-first-out so nothing hides at the back.
Search everything
Products, recipes, locations, lists: one box.
Own-data footer: All of it lives on your devices. No account, no cloud: your inventory is yours.
One box does everything.
"Milk" adds it. "Used 2 eggs" logs it. "We are out of bread" puts it on the list. "Bought 3 apples" restocks the pantry. No modes to pick first: Butler Pantry listens for what you want to happen.
Vague is okay.
"A couple of apples" is 2. "Half a dozen eggs" is 6. Butler Pantry fills in a normal amount and uses what your family has taught it. The more you say, the less there is to fill in.
It acts when it knows. It asks when it does not.
Familiar things in a clear sentence just happen, with a short note you can tap to adjust. New or unclear things get one friendly question. Your answer becomes a lesson Butler Pantry remembers.
The learning stays home.
What Butler Pantry learns about your family is per family, lives on your own devices, synced only among them. Never sold, never shared, never sent anywhere. Wipe it clean anytime with one reset.
Butler Pantry's voice.
One toggle in Settings and the confirmations are spoken out loud while you cook: a gentle, unhurried voice by default, a warm calm alternative, your pick, kept per family member. Made on your device, nothing recorded or sent. Off until you switch it on.
Hands free at the kiosk.
Tap the mic, say "used the last of the milk", hear the confirmation. While Butler Pantry is speaking, the mic politely waits, so Butler Pantry never transcribes its own voice.
All of it lives on your devices. No account, no cloud. Your words, your voice, your kitchen.
Lists that learn
Smart shopping lists from recipes, patterns, and low-stock signals, with BUY / MAYBE / SKIP recommendations from the on-device engine.
Cook a recipe, the pantry really empties
Recipe-to-pantry deduction, so you never buy what’s already in the house.
Units that make sense
Counts, weights, volumes modeled properly; English ↔ metric for the whole family: storage stays canonical, display converts.
Store profiles & per-store price history
Butler Pantry learns what things usually cost at the stores where you shop (from your own receipts) and can call out a stock-up moment.
Own-data footer: All of it lives on your devices. No account, no cloud: your inventory is yours.
Verified savings
The ‘You saved’ line on your receipt becomes real, recorded savings, not a guess. ($44.00, fixture-verified.)
The EPA math, honestly
The average 4-person American household wastes about $2,913 of food a year (EPA, Apr 2025). Butler Pantry is $100/year. Save even 4% of that and Butler Pantry is free. (4% of $2,913 = $116.52.)
One takeout night
One avoided order a month covers Butler Pantry. Not a guarantee: a potential, and an honest one.
Budget page
Real spend from receipt imports, by category, per trip.
Waste post-mortems + Kitchen Memory Book
What got thrown away, and why. The family’s cooking history, kept.
Before it spoils
USDA FoodKeeper shelf-life data warns you before food goes bad. (93 foods, public domain, cited.)
Own-data footer + pricing rec: $100/year, or $10/month if splitting it up suits you better. No free tier: no ads, no data selling. Your subscription funds software, not servers.
Import any recipe
Paste a link and it becomes a clean recipe card on your device. Recipe pages work, and so do articles: when a recipe lives inside a story, Butler Pantry reads the sentences, lifts out the recipe shaped parts, and always stops for your check before anything saves. One page, fetched only when you ask, never a background crawl.
Cook from your pantry
Meal ideas from what’s in the house right now.
Cooking Mode
Step-by-step, hands-free voice advance: flour-dusted hands never touch the screen. On imported recipes, prep, total, and minutes per step fill in from the page, each with its own timer chip.
Picky eaters included
Per-family-member profiles; plan around the actual eaters at your table.
Own-data footer: All of it lives on your devices. No account, no cloud: your recipes are yours.
The kitchen kiosk
An old iPad or Mac becomes the family hub, with big buttons, kid logging, and voice: “we finished the milk” takes two seconds.
Butler Pantry's voice
One toggle in Settings and Butler Pantry speaks her confirmations out loud. Gentle and unhurried by default, warm and calm as the alternative, your pick per person. Made on your device: nothing recorded, nothing uploaded, no server hears your kitchen. Off until you switch it on.
Syncs over your own Wi-Fi
Everyone’s phones stay in step at home; away from home, an end-to-end-encrypted relay keeps it private.
Export anything
Print lists, save PDFs, export CSV/JSON: your data is never hostage.
Cancel anytime
Access runs to your next renewal date, and your data stays intact on your devices.
Own-data footer: All of it lives on your devices. No account, no cloud: your family’s data is yours.
Where the data lives
Your family’s grocery data lives on your family’s devices. Not because we promise to be nice, but because there is nowhere else for it to be.

Provable, not promised
400+ automated tests gate every release. Every dependency is open and permissive-licensed. The privacy claim is provable from the dependency list.
What we never do
No selling or sharing data (we can’t: we don’t have it). No ads. No tracking you across apps. No cloud receipt processing. No forced phone-home for subscription checks.
Own-data footer: your data is local, private, and yours, and you can always export it.

Local test build: capturing locally only, not connected yet. We’ll wire it to our server when we go live.
