The yogurt at the back of the fridge, the cold medicine in the drawer, the skincare you stocked up on... by the time you notice, it has often expired. Expiry Secretary remembers every expiry date for you and reminds you before it's too late. Food, medicine, supplements, skincare, pet supplies, household items: track anything. SNAP AND DONE • Two quick shots: the product name, then the expiry date, even when they are printed on different sides • Reads printed dates in formats from around the world (2027.4.21, 21 APR 2027, Japanese era years and more) and tells production dates apart from expiry dates • Suggests keywords from the label so you can tap together the name, with sizes and weights removed automatically • Works with Chinese, English and Japanese packaging FRESH FOOD, TOO • Snap unpackaged groceries like greens, tofu or fish and the app guesses what they are • Pick several items at once from Market Favorites, each with suggested days you can adjust, and your changes are remembered • No printed date? Quick-set "in 3 days", "in 1 week" or "in 1 month" REMINDERS YOU WON'T MISS • Get notified 1 day, 3 days, 1 week or 1 month before, or set your own, like 2 months before • A daily morning summary and an app badge count of items expiring soon • Optionally add to Apple Calendar and Reminders to see them on iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show what's expiring without opening the app SHARE WITH FAMILY • Share a list with your family. They don't need the app, just the built-in Reminders app • Choose which items to share THOUGHTFUL DETAILS • Track quantity and opened date, and the shorter shelf life after opening is calculated for you • Swipe to "Use 1" and items disappear when they're used up • Categories, search and filters by expiry time • Cute animal mood characters that get more worried as dates approach (optional) • Theme colors and four app icons to choose from PRIVATE AND SIMPLE • No account, no ads • We don't collect any of your data. Text recognition happens on your iPhone • Try every feature free for 5 days, then buy once. Not a subscription, no monthly charges Waste less.
