How it works
From one receipt to a clearer market.
No loyalty scheme. No bank connection. Start with evidence already in your hand.
Build your private ledger
See what you paid over time in comparable units—per kilogram, litre, or item—without losing the original evidence.
Keep the boundary clear
Early Public keeps receipt-derived evidence in your private account. A later public contribution would need a deliberate, consent-gated release.
Two truths, kept separate
Your history is yours. Early Public keeps it that way.
Personal
Your exact purchases
Receipt images, store visits, dates, quantities, and your full household history stay in your private account.
Community
Nothing is published yet
Community publication is disabled for Early Public. A deletion-time choice can retain de-linked observations internally, but a later public contribution needs its own consent-gated release.
Built in the open, released with care
Early Public is being prepared now.
We are testing the complete journey, privacy controls, recovery paths, and the usefulness of every insight before widening access.
