Features

What it does

Scan a barcode (on-device, no internet) to fill in the name and category.
Pick from the bundled USDA FoodKeeper storage guide to estimate a quality window for the selected location.
Snap or choose a photo and let on-device OCR suggest the name, date, and printed label type.
Scan barcodes to add common groceries quickly, fully offline.
Look up how long 400+ foods last in the pantry, fridge, and freezer (USDA FoodKeeper data).
Distinguish quality dates from safety guidance. Most package dates are not safety deadlines; infant formula receives special FDA Use By handling.
Add the package-opened date and get location-aware opened-package guidance when FoodKeeper provides it.
See actionable storage and spoilage warnings without declaring food unsafe from a generic date alone.
Detect likely duplicate active items before saving.
Fall back from live scanning to photo recognition, manual barcode entry, manual dates, or a FoodKeeper estimate.
Organize by food category and your own custom storage locations.
Filter by all, use-soon, or expired; clean up expired items in one tap.

Three fast ways to add an item:

Photos are optional — you can log an item and its package date in seconds.
