Why it feels different

Everything you need
for the trip.

Capture prices, follow the budget, plan ahead, and keep the receipt—all in one calm shopping flow.

AI Capture

Snap the item itself. AI fills in the rest.

No barcode? No problem. Point at the product and AI reads what it is, so you just confirm the price and add it to your cart. When the signal drops, offline shelf-tag scanning keeps you moving.

  • AI item recognition
  • Offline shelf-tag OCR
  • Quick add-to-cart

Budget

See over-budget trips before checkout becomes a surprise.

Live totals and clear warning states make it obvious when a trip needs a quick correction.

Planner

Track price changes while you plan the next trip.

Use previous prices and estimated savings to decide what belongs in the cart before you shop.

Insights

Turn receipts and shopping history into patterns you can actually act on.

From total spending to price changes across trips, the app gives you a cleaner picture of how your habits move over time.

  • Trend views
  • Receipt archive

FAQ

Grocery budget app questions, answered.

Can I see item prices before checkout?

Yes. Add items with prices as you shop and Cart Tracker shows a running grocery total before checkout.

Can the app find prices for scanned products?

When a price is already saved or available from optional online price tools, Cart Tracker can suggest it. You can still type or edit the shelf price anytime.

Does Cart Tracker support different currencies?

Yes. You can choose the currency you want to use for your grocery budget, cart total, products, and receipts.

Can prices be converted to my currency?

Some online price suggestions can be shown in your selected currency when exchange information is available. Converted prices are estimates, so you can always edit them to match the shelf price.

Can I change a price if the scan is wrong?

Yes. Scans and suggestions are only there to help you move faster. You stay in control and can update the item name, price, or quantity before adding it to the cart.

Can I scan shelf tags instead of barcodes?

Yes. Cart Tracker includes a shelf-tag capture flow for times when the shelf label is easier to use than the product barcode.

Does Cart Tracker work without internet?

Yes. Core cart tracking, local data storage, and key shopping flows are designed around offline-first use.

Do I need an account to use the app?

No. You can install Cart Tracker and start shopping without creating an account first.

What kind of information is stored locally?

Cart sessions, budgets, products, receipts, and settings are stored on-device by default, with export and backup controls available to you.

Where can I read the updated policies?

You can open the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service directly from this site.

Ready for the next trip?

Keep the total in sight from the first item.

Start free on Android. Add prices as you shop, follow the running total, and adjust before checkout.

A note from the developer

Premium now helps keep Cart Tracker’s infrastructure running.

Cart Tracker started as a mostly offline app. It now also relies on server-backed services for online product lookup, community price data, entitlement checks, storage, monitoring, and the systems that keep those features reliable. Advertising alone can no longer sustainably cover those ongoing costs.

Going forward, every subscriber payment received by Jber Studio—after Google Play fees and applicable taxes—will be allocated directly to Cart Tracker’s infrastructure and operating costs. That support pays for hosting, APIs, databases, storage, monitoring, and the maintenance needed to keep online features available.

The goal is simple: build a healthier foundation for the app without turning every useful feature into an ad slot. If you subscribe, you are directly helping Cart Tracker stay dependable and continue improving. Thank you for making that possible.
