## What is FreshTrack?

FreshTrack tracks expiry dates for your pantry, fridge and freezer, and does something almost no other app does: it knows what's inside each food container the moment you tap your iPhone on an NFC tag.

Add products by scanning the barcode: the entry fills itself in, and AI reads the label for you.

Free, no ads, no in-app purchases, no account needed.

CONTAINERS WITH NFC TAGS
• Stick a rewritable NFC tag on the lid, write it from the app, then tap your iPhone to see what's inside and when it expires.
• Expiry is calculated from the food type and where you store it.
• Empty the container and the tag gets reused: just rewrite it for what's next.

ADDING IS SCANNING
• Point at the barcode and the entry fills itself in with an online lookup. No typing.
• Barcode and QR, with tap to focus.
• Type, location and standard shelf life set automatically, with multipacks detected ("24 × 330 ml" → 24 units).

SAME PRODUCT, DIFFERENT DATES
• If you have several units of the same product with different expiry dates, the list no longer repeats the row: it merges them into one card with the total and the split by date.
• It always uses up whichever expires first, and the app tells you which date it came from and how many units are left.
• The product detail screen has a strip to see each date on its own.

AI READS THE LABEL
• Apple Intelligence reads the package with the camera: date, lot, nutrition, ingredients and allergens. That reading happens on your device.
• Each product photo is generated with Image Playground, in one consistent style. Depending on the device, Apple processes it on your iPhone or on Private Cloud Compute — it never reaches our servers or anyone else's.
• Requires an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence. Dates suggested by product type and AI-read data are guidance only: always check the label.

SMART ALERTS
• One alert a day per section (products and containers), grouped by urgency, no spam; you choose how far in advance.
• Clear groups: expired, today, this week.
• A widget to see what's expiring without opening the app.

ASK SIRI
• "What's expiring in FreshTrack?", "What's in the freezer in FreshTrack?", "Do I have anything left in FreshTrack?": Siri answers out loud with a card, without opening the app.
• Mark a product as used up or bought, empty a container, or open the scanner, all by voice.
• From the Shortcuts app, build your own queries, like "fridge items expiring in under three days".
• Your products and containers also show up in iPhone search (Spotlight).

ALL YOUR HOMES
• Your everyday home, the beach house, the village house: each with its own pantry, containers, list and settings.
• Switch homes in two taps, synced with iCloud across your devices.
• Custom accent color and app icon per home.

SHOPPING, COME FULL CIRCLE
• What you consume goes to the history, and from the history to the shopping list in one gesture.
• Mark as bought with one tap, with a note per item.
• Back from the store, rescan and the product re-adds itself with all its data; the camera reads the expiry date printed on the package, or set the standard one with a tap.

PRIVACY, FOR REAL
• FreshTrack doesn't collect your data: everything lives on your device and in your private iCloud. No account, no sign-in.

For iPhone and iPad.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-29

Big update: FreshTrack now also speaks German, French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese, with its own iPad layout and several accessibility improvements.

FRESHTRACK IN FOUR MORE LANGUAGES
The whole app — screens, Siri, Shortcuts and alerts — is now also available in German, French, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese, on top of Spanish and English. If your iPhone is set to one of these languages, FreshTrack no longer falls back to Spanish: it reads in yours.

PRODUCT DETAIL ON IPAD, IN TWO COLUMNS
On wide screens, a product's detail page now shows the photo and its data in two columns instead of one long strip: easier to read, less scrolling.

Also:
• The allergen notice now says when the data comes from Open Food Facts.
• The shopping list checkbox no longer clips text at large font sizes: it grows with it.
• You can now rate FreshTrack right from Settings.
• Fixed: rotating the iPad with a product's detail open now correctly opens the side panel.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-15

Big update: iPad gets its own design, adding products is more reliable, and expiry lengths have been checked against official sources.

Adding items with the camera and AI is more accurate now: aged cheese no longer gets mistaken for fresh cheese and keeps its full 21 days; the storage spot no longer always starts on Fridge if the product calls for another one; and the expiry date no longer carries over from wherever it was before when the new spot doesn't keep the product — it suggests today instead.

Expiry lengths have been checked against FoodKeeper (USDA), the FDA, and Spain's AESAN: opened sauce moves to 14 days in the fridge, vegetables to 7 in the fridge and 10 in the pantry, and closed canned goods now last twice as long. When something doesn't keep well where you're putting it, the app no longer makes up a date — it says so.

IPAD GETS ITS OWN DESIGN
The Products and Containers grid stops being the iPhone one repeated five times: cards now have their own size, and in wide windows the detail view opens alongside the list instead of covering it. Long text no longer stretches edge to edge. There are keyboard shortcuts: ⌘1 through ⌘4 switch tabs, ⌘N adds a product, and ⌘F searches. At large accessibility text sizes, Products and Containers no longer cut names in half or push the expiry date off screen.

Also:
• If you turn off expiry alerts in system settings, the app now tells you and takes you straight to turning them back on, instead of still promising them.
• Better contrast in the accent color and in the empty-container badge.
• Three new illustrations (pasta and rice, dry pantry goods, ready meals) and several product images redrawn without text baked into the artwork.
• Icons across the app have been reviewed for consistency.
• Fixed: built-in container food types no longer stayed stuck in whatever language the app was first installed in; they now translate too when you change the language in Settings.
