Pet owners stare at ingredient lists full of chemical names and marketing jargon. They have no quick way to know whether a product is actually safe for their specific animal — especially when allergies, age, or sensitivities are involved.
What PetEats Does
PetEats is a native iOS app that scans pet-food labels (barcode or OCR) and tells you in plain English whether a product suits your specific dog or cat. It matches ingredients against a database and returns:
A safety score based on your pet's profile
A label-clarity score (how transparent the brand is)
An AI-generated explanation tuned to the pet's age, sensitivities, and allergies
Scan history lets you compare products over time, so you build a real picture of what you're feeding your pet.
How I Built It
Solo, end to end. I owned the product thinking, architecture, the native iOS build, the AI integration, the UX/design, and the entire release — App Store review, subscriptions, ATT/privacy compliance, analytics. No team, no hand-off.
Architecture overview:
Native iOS app in Swift, talking to a Python + FastAPI backend
OpenAI API powers the ingredient analysis and plain-language explanations
Supabase handles the ingredient database and user data
RevenueCat manages subscriptions alongside native App Store billing
PetEats is live on the App Store — you can download it right now on any iPhone and start scanning. A real, shipped product built and launched solo, from first commit to App Store approval.
