Food-expiry tracker for iPhone

Know what's about to turn.

Grocery deliveries often land close to their date, and leftovers hide at the back of the fridge. Scan the barcode, snap the date, and get a quiet nudge before anything's forgotten.

Coming in Auguston the App Store Free to use. Extra fridges are a one-time $4.99, never a subscription.

Add an item in seconds.

The camera does the work. Manual entry is always there when you need it, though you rarely will.

01

Scan the barcode

Name, brand, and category fill in automatically from open product data.

02

Snap the date

The expiry label is read on your device. You confirm it; the app never guesses silently.

03

Get reminded

A quiet alert three days before, and on the day itself. Nothing gets forgotten.

Every screen you'll actually use.

Four screens straight off an iPhone, including a best-before date read off a bottle cap in ordinary kitchen light.

A precise kitchen instrument.

It states facts, like "expires in two days," and it's accurate enough that you trust its dates without double-checking.

Scan, don't type

Barcodes fill in the details. Some carry the expiry date themselves, so the app skips a step entirely.

Dates you can trust

On-device text recognition reads the label and picks the latest plausible date. When it can't, it says so.

Reminders, not nagging

Two calm notifications per item and a badge count. Pick the time of day they arrive.

Private by design

Your data lives on your device. No account, no server, no analytics. No one else can see it.

More than one fridge

Keep a Freezer, a Pantry, a second fridge, and switch between them with a tap.

Your data, exportable

Save a backup, a plain JSON file, to Files or iCloud Drive any time. Restoring only ever adds; it never overwrites.

Support & questions.

A few common ones. For anything else, email kyrylo.volkov@outlook.com.

What do I need to run it?

An iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Fridgerator is iPhone-only: the whole point is scanning a label with the phone already in your hand.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes. Reading dates and scheduling reminders happen entirely on your device. A connection is only used to look up a product's name from its barcode, and you can always type an item in by hand.

What if a barcode isn't recognised?

Not every product is in the open databases. When one isn't, you land on a quick manual-entry screen. You can also choose manual entry at any point instead of scanning.

Is my data private?

Completely. There's no account and no analytics, and the developer never receives your data. It stays on your device. See the privacy policy for the full detail.

Will I lose everything if I reinstall the app?

Deleting the app removes its data from your device, so export a backup first (Settings → Backup). You can save it to Files or iCloud Drive and restore it after reinstalling. Restoring only ever adds, it never overwrites.

Is it free?

The core app is free, with no ads. Fridgerator Pro is a one-time $4.99 that adds separate fridges (a Freezer, a Pantry, a second fridge) and supports development. No subscription, no account.
