## What is BestBefore?

BestBefore keeps track of what's in your fridge, freezer and cupboards, and reminds you before food goes off, not after.

ADD FOOD IN SECONDS
• Scan a barcode and the product name and picture are filled in for you (via Open Food Facts)
• Point the camera at the printed date and BestBefore reads the expiry date for you
• Snap a photo of fruit or vegetables and it suggests what it is
• Batch mode: scan a whole bag of shopping in one go
• Read a shop receipt to add several items at once

NEVER MISS A DATE
• Reminders a few days before something expires, at the time you choose
• "Expiring soon" and "Expired" at a glance
• Calendar agenda: see what's due today, tomorrow and next week, and swipe to mark items used or tossed
• Home Screen widgets for expiring items, your shopping list and a quick overview

SHOP SMARTER
• Essentials you use up go straight onto your shopping list
• Share the list as text or a QR code
• Optional: see your shopping list when you arrive at a shop you've saved
• Not sure what to cook? Get a ready-made prompt for your favourite AI assistant, built from what's expiring soonest

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Your pantry is stored on your iPhone; export a backup whenever you like
• Available in English, Russian and Norwegian

Waste less food, save money and always know what you have at home.
