Description
FreshOwl reads the printed best-before date with your camera — barcode, date, done — and reminds you once a day before it arrives. No account, no login, no tracking. When it can't read a date clearly, it shows you what it read and asks instead of guessing.

Could you build this?
Yes Mobile apps combining on-device OCR (e.g., Google ML Kit or Apple Vision framework) for expiry dates, a barcode scanner, and local notifications are standard tasks well within vibe-coding capabilities.
