Tier 2 — NSF-Aligned R&D Roadmap
Research roadmap only, not shipped production features.
These items describe responsible research directions for improving local receipt understanding and validation over time.
- Core ML / Core AI exploration for local ML optimization.
- Receipt structure understanding.
- Layout classification.
- OCR confidence scoring.
- Item normalization heuristics.
- Budget-aware local cart optimization.
- Apple Evaluations framework as a future validation harness for parsing accuracy and cross-device reliability.
Tier 3 — Future WWDC26 Candidates
Future exploration only, contingent on platform fit and privacy review.
These candidates are framed as future Apple platform exploration and should not be read as current production functionality.
- Apple Foundation Models framework for advanced grocery item normalization.
- Multimodal prompts combining receipt images and OCR text.
- Vision OCR/barcode tool access inside local model workflows.
- App Intents for future Siri / Apple Intelligence actions.
- Private Cloud Compute only as a contingent future option if local device processing is insufficient.
Production capabilities
Capabilities in production
ShopMate is already live as an iPhone app with receipt scanning, user-reviewed item extraction, bilingual support, privacy-first account flows, and App Store distribution. Demo media will be added after final production videos are approved.
Receipt scanning
Capture grocery receipts on iPhone and extract receipt text with on-device OCR.
User-reviewed extraction
Review detected products and prices before saving selected grocery records.
Bilingual support
Use public website and app positioning designed for English and Spanish users.
Privacy-first account flows
Access support, privacy information, and account deletion guidance.
App Store distribution

Privacy Architecture
Receipt scanning is designed around review and data minimization.
Receipt images captured by camera or selected from Photos are processed on device for OCR and are not uploaded by the receipt OCR flow.
Optional product, store, and price-entry photos are user-initiated. ShopMate may use de-identified, aggregated pricing data for broader market insights.
Read the Privacy PolicyRules for Future Users
Community data only works when people submit it responsibly.
These rules set expectations for future community records and support safer grocery price data.
- Do not submit false, altered, or misleading grocery data.
- Do not impersonate another user, store, vendor, or organization.
- Do not manipulate community records for personal, commercial, or competitive advantage.
- Respect privacy. Do not submit receipts or data that expose another person's personal information without permission.
- Report inaccurate or abusive content through the support channel.
