Thalaja is an AI-powered shared grocery list app designed for families.
Built during the Apple AI Foundation Program at Apple Developer Academy | TUWAIQ, it helps families reduce waste, save time, and simplify grocery shopping.
Managing groceries in families often leads to:
- Duplicated purchases (everyone buys milk 🥛)
- Forgotten essentials (nobody buys rice 🍚)
- Wasted food (expired items in the fridge ❄️)
Thalaja solves this by acting as a shared brain for groceries — a real-time synced list accessible to every family member.
- ✅ Receipt Scan OCR (Arabic + English) → auto-add items
- ✅ Inventory Management with Pantry/Fridge/Freezer
- ✅ Expiry Tracking → Red dot 🔴 for “expiring soon”
- ✅ Smart Grocery Lists → real-time syncing across family
- ✅ AI Coach → meal suggestions & “use before expiry” tips
- ✅ Multi-user sync → updates visible instantly
- ✅ Voice + Siri Integration → “Hey Siri, add eggs to Thalaja list”
- ✅ Barcode Recognition via OpenFoodFacts API
- ✅ Dark Mode & RTL Arabic support
- Frontend: Swift, SwiftUI (Xcode)
