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
Every purchase of an item on one chart. See at a glance whether it's quietly crept up since last time.
Scan a barcode on the shelf and instantly see whether you've bought it before — and what you paid.
A monthly breakdown by category, built automatically from your receipts.
Name a barcode once and it's remembered forever — across every shop, however the receipt spells it. For extra-tricky receipts, add a free Gemini key for sharper reading.
Thermal paper fades within months. The photo stays, so you still have it for the warranty or the claim.
Export your history any time and bring it back on a new phone. It's your data.
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. Garbled item names now 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. Remove it from Settings at any time to turn this off.
Privacy
