Free · No sign-up · Receipt photos never leave your phone
The aisle moment
"Wasn't this cheaper last month?"
Groceries are the thing we buy most often and remember worst. You can't recall last month's price, whether you already have one at home, or which shop had it cheaper — so you just put it in the trolley and hope.
Your receipts already hold every one of those answers. LastBought just makes them searchable.
How it works
No typing, no spreadsheets, no accounts to create.
Photograph it, or pick one you already took from your gallery.
Items and prices are pulled out on-device in seconds. The photo itself never gets uploaded.

What you get
See every purchase of an item on one chart and spot when its price has quietly changed.
Your dashboard can suggest a restock, flag a price rise, or show where you previously paid less.
Scan a shelf barcode, check your last price, log a price without buying, and refresh product photos from Open Food Facts.
Keep membership barcodes together and bring one up at full brightness when you reach the checkout.
LastBought remembers printed product names and keeps the scan on your phone when the items match the receipt total. Gemini remains an optional fallback.
Rename badly read products and merge duplicates so searches, trends and totals stay useful.
See where the money went by category, plus receipt-reading statistics that explain how scans were handled.
Keep receipt photos after thermal paper fades, export your history, and restore it on another phone.
A refreshed, receipt-inspired interface with dark mode for comfortable use at any time.
Works with the shops you actually use
Receipts come in every layout imaginable — LastBought keeps learning new ones.
In the aisle
Standing in front of the shelf wondering if it's actually a deal? Scan the barcode and LastBought tells you what you paid last time, where, and how long ago — from your own receipts, not a guess.
Optional, and free
Free, from Google — takes about a minute. Only needed for receipts our on-device scanner has trouble with: faded print, unusual layouts, or a store LastBought hasn't seen before. Everything else already works without it.
Go to aistudio.google.com/api-keys and sign in with any Google account.
Click "Create API key." Pick or create a project if asked — the free tier needs no billing setup.
Google generates a long string of letters and numbers — copy it.
In LastBought, go to Settings → Smart parsing (Gemini), paste it in, and tap Save.
Flip "Send receipt text to Gemini" in that same screen — a key on its own does nothing until this is on. Once it is, garbled item names get cleaned up automatically, and receipts from stores LastBought hasn't learned yet can still be read.
Your key stays yours. It's stored only on your phone and used to talk to Google directly — we never receive it and have no access to it. Turn the toggle off, or remove the key, at any time to stop this.
