How to track an expiry date

Three ways, one list

There are three ways to add an item. Photograph the date on the label. Scan the barcode so the name and brand can fill in, while you still confirm the date. Or type the name and the day yourself. If the photo has no readable date, the field stays empty. The app does not invent a name.

You see the name and the date before you save. A misread day does not enter the list until you keep it.

The list stays sorted by urgency

The card shows the category, the days left, and the date together. Expired, soon, and still good stay apart. Milk that ends today does not sit under cheese with twelve days left.

Mark what you finished as used, and what went in the bin as discarded. Both leave the active list. Deleting removes the row from statistics too. Used and discarded stay so you can see later what left.

The reminder

The default alarm is 7, 3, and 1 days before, and on the last day, at 09:00 in the phone’s local time. You can refuse notification permission. The list still stays. Only the alarm is skipped.

Once a pack is open, the printed date may not be enough. You set how many days it lasts open. Tracking follows whichever comes first: the date on the package, or the days after opening.

Who it is for

Someone keeping a fridge alone can start on the free plan: 10 active items, 5 label reads a month, and 5 barcodes a month. If you share a kitchen, Premium has one household list for up to 8 people. Personal items do not move there on their own.
