## What is ExpiryGuard?

Stop throwing food away. ExpiryGuard turns your fridge and pantry into a smart inventory — scan a barcode, track every "Best Before" date, and get reminded before things expire.

Built for busy Canadian households and now powered by **Chef Ron's practical recipes** that use whatever is about to go bad first.

**KEY FEATURES**

• **Barcode Scanning** — Point your camera at any UPC or EAN barcode used by Canadian retailers. Product names auto-fill from our database in seconds.

• **Expiry Date OCR** — Photograph a "Best Before" or "Meilleur Avant" label and our on-device Vision OCR reads the date for you. Full English and French support.

• **Smart Reminders** — Get notified 3 days before, 1 day before, and on the expiry day. Pick which alerts you want, customize the time.

• **Quantity Tracking** — Bought 2 milks? Track 1/2 left, 1/4 left, or mark as consumed. Supports partial quantities.

• **Pantry Categories** — Dairy, meat, frozen, produce, bread, beverages, snacks, condiments. Find what you need fast.

• **Search & Filter** — Sort by expiry date, recently added, or name. Filter by category or status.

**NEW IN THIS VERSION**

• **Chef Ron's Practical Recipes** — Open the app and Chef Ron suggests meal ideas based on what's expiring in the next 30 days. Pair dairy + bread, meat + produce, and turn your fridge into zero-waste meals. All recipes are generated on-device — no account, no API.

**BUILT FOR CANADA**

• Bilingual labels: "Best Before" and "Meilleur Avant"
• Canadian barcode formats: UPC-A, EAN-13
• Date formats: YYYY-MM-DD and DD/MM/YYYY
• 100% offline-capable — your data stays on your device

**PRIVACY-FIRST**

We don't sell your data. No account required. Every product, every reminder, every recipe suggestion lives on your iPhone — never on a server.
