🇨🇦 Canadian recalls

Bought it?
We watch it.

Recalls get announced. Nobody reads the announcements. Scan your receipt once and we'll tell you if something you actually bought gets recalled.

How it works

  1. Snap your receipt

    Walmart or Costco, photographed on the way out of the store. We read the line items and keep the product names — the photo itself isn't kept.

  2. We check every recall, every day

    Health Canada, the CFIA, the US CPSC and the FDA — around a hundred notices a week. Matched by barcode where your receipt printed one, and by product name where it didn't.

  3. You hear about it

    A text if you're on the paid plan, an email if you're not. You never have to open this app again — that's rather the point of it.

What we watch

Food, drink, baby products, cosmetics and household goods — every notice those four agencies publish.

What it costs

Free

Three receipt scans a month, unlimited barcode scans, and alerts by email.

Paid — a few dollars a month

Unlimited receipt scans, and an instant text the moment a match turns up instead of an email. Cancel whenever you like. The exact price is on your account page once you're in.

Questions

Do I have to keep checking the app?

No — that's the whole idea. We come to you. The app is for adding things and looking back at what you've got.

What if I don't have the receipt?

Scan the barcode on the package instead. One item at a time, and it doesn't use up a receipt scan.

What happens to my receipt photo?

It's sent for text recognition and then discarded. We keep the product names, the store and the date — that's what a recall notice gets matched against.

Why do you need my phone number?

It's how you sign in: we text a 6-digit code, so there's no password to forget. It's also where an instant alert goes if you upgrade.
