Simple Capture
vs NoWaste
NoWaste tracks your food as a list with dates so less of it gets thrown out. Simple Capture gets you a list from a video, points out what to use first, and turns it into tonight's dinner and a shopping list.
At a glance
| Question | NoWaste | Simple Capture |
|---|---|---|
| Getting things in | Add items by hand or by barcode, with dates and locations. | Film a video, record a voice memo or snap photos. Items, text and your spoken notes come out of it. |
| What comes back | A food list by location with expiry dates and stats. | What's in the fridge and pantry, what to use first, what to cook and a shopping list. |
| Sharing | Share lists with your household. | Ask for a page and share a private link. Whoever opens it can ask the page questions. |
| Asking questions | Search and filters over what you entered. | Hold the red button and talk. The assistant knows every capture and answers out loud. |
