Pantrist keeps your pantry stocked and your shopping organized — automatically. It tracks your supplies, reminds you what to buy, and lets you share a live shopping list with everyone in your household.

When your supply drops below that threshold, Pantrist automatically adds it to your shopping list — so you never run out of the things you need most. BEST BEFORE DATES Track best before dates for every item in your pantry. Pantrist warns you before things expire, so you can use them up in time and stop throwing food away. You can also spread items across multiple storage locations — fridge, freezer, basement — and always know exactly where everything is. RECIPE PLANNER Save your favorite recipes and add missing ingredients directly to your shopping list with one tap. Import recipes from websites and other sources — Pantrist does the rest. You can also share your own recipes with the Pantrist community. BARCODE SCANNER Scan any product barcode to add it instantly.

Sort items and categories however you like, create custom categories, choose your preferred swipe actions, and tweak dozens of other settings — until the app feels made just for you.

However this skill is only available in the US, and can’t be used in the UK. Disappointing :( **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! That actually shouldn't be the case! What happens when you try to use it? It should be available everywhere in the world actually. ### 3/5 — At first I was impressed but… *2025-08-19* At first I was impressed… very impressed… but every time I close the app, items have disappeared from my shopping list. It keeps happening. Full lists of items disappear. :( To improve I’d suggest: - fixing this bug (definitely) - adding a tick system to use when actually out shopping - making it so you can add the coupons/discounts to the market, rather than just each item - adding a calendar style list system where items can be added to future shopping lists on a reoccurring basis. (Hardest to do but there isn’t anything like this on the market) All of this would make this such a fantastic app. I’m already impressed and am very thankful it exists. It’s almost perfect. I’d absolutely pay for it if it had the above mentioned adjustments. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed feedback. And for the kind words I'm really glad you're enjoying the app. Sorry for the very late response, I haven't received any notification for it and haven't checked the ratings here for a while to be honest .. I'm also genuinely sorry about the shopping list items disappearing. That's absolutely not how it should behave, and I understand how frustrating that is, especially when it keeps happening. This were an issue sporadically a few months ago but should not happen anymore as there is something like a "rescue mechanism". What do you mean with the tick system? You can already check off items you've bought. The rest is actually a nice idea! ### 5/5 — Very nice app *2025-01-16* I’ve been looking for a new pantry app since my old one was removed from the store (new phone and it wouldn’t transfer). Looked at quite a few, but they either couldn’t be shared or had a terrible UI. Like this UI, it’s shareable between different users devices (even with the free version). Also, for the free version the ads aren’t intrusive, but felt compelled to buy a subscription so they can keep developing. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your motivating feedback! And of course thanks for the support via the subscription! ### 3/5 — Sehr gut, aber bedingt stabil *2024-12-24* Alle 3-4 Monate wird einfach mal die komplette Einkaufsliste gelöscht. Ansonsten super App, auch für den Vorrat um den Überblick zu behalten. **Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback! Das darf natürlich unter keinen Umständen passieren. Tauchen diese Artikel wieder auf oder bleiben diese gelöscht? Betrifft das nur die Einkaufsliste, oder auch die Vorratsliste? Und hast du ein Konto mit dem du angemeldet bist, oder verwendest du die App ohne Anmeldung? Du kannst dich auch gerne per Kontaktformular oder per Mail an info@pantrist.com melden. Ich bin mir sicher, das Problem bekommen wir gelöst! Danke vorab für deine Unterstützung. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2024-11-03* Es ist besonders toll, wenn man sich die Mühe macht alle Lebensmittel einzupflegen und dann die App seit Monaten nicht mehr geht. Eigentlich ist da 1 Stern noch Zuviel! **Developer response:** Hallo! Es tut mir sehr leid, dass du Probleme mit der App hast. Was genau funktioniert denn nicht? Mir ist derzeit kein großeres Problem bekannt. Melde dich gerne per Mail an info@pantrist.com oder nutze das Kontaktformular. Wir finden mit Sicherheit eine Lösung! ### 5/5 — Rare 5 Stars 🤩 *2024-08-06* It is incredibly rare for me to give an app 5 stars since I see that as perfection and it’s pretty hard to be perfect. But this app is really close to perfect, and that combined with a very kind and communicative dev makes it 5 stars for me! I tried dozens of pantry/expiration tracking apps (like literally.. around 70 of them 😅) and this one is hands down the best. The free tier is so incredibly generous and even that free tier knocks multiple other similar premium apps out of the water IMO. There are little bugs or improvements that could be made here and there, but I emailed the dev about one and they responded quickly, politely, and with a full explanation. It’s so refreshing to see that. Since the free tier is so spectacular, I don’t really see much need personally for the premium version.. But considering the quality and the dev’s dedication, it’s gone on my list as the first subscription to get when I have a little bit more room in my budget. 🙂 I encourage anyone else loving the app to do the same! ### 5/5 — Absolut Super App *2023-12-28* Also wenn ich könnte würde ich 6 oder 7 Sterne hier sogar geben. Ich habe lange nach einer App gesucht wo ich selber Artikel sowie Lagerort und Lagerplatz scannen und verwalten kann. Das alles und viel viel mehr bietet dies App. WICHTIG: Diese App nimmt einen selber nicht alles ab. Man muss schon genau sagen was man will. Wenn dann alles richtig eingearbeitet ist funktioniert sie tatenlos. Habe vor ein zwei Wochen mit dem Entwickler gesprochen bezüglich eines Problems. Innerhalb von nicht mal 24h gab es eine Antwort. Also hier hat jemand sich Gedanken gemacht und ist sehr bemüht an der Verwaltung und Weiterentwicklung dieser App. Top bitte weiter so. Da gibt man gerne auch monatlich einen Beitrag. **Developer response:** Vielen dank für die sehr positive Rückmeldung! Ich weiß das wirklich sehr zu schätzen. ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2023-10-23* Large barcode database, Allowing you to add items not in the database, Allow users to add the purchase price of the item for reference. ### 4/5 — Eine super App *2023-05-21* Hi, ich finde die App an sich super. Was man könnte bei den Rezepten noch verbessern, dass da die Kalorien und Makros anhand der Zutaten angezeigt werden oder zumindest ein Feld wo man persönliche Notizen für sich hineinschreiben kann um das selber einzutragen. **Developer response:** Danke für dein positives Feedback! Die Idee die Kalorien auch in den Vorräten anzuzeigen finde ich sinnvoll. Das Thema nehme ich so mit! DIe Notizen in Rezepten sind schon länger geplant, aber bislang wurde das noch nicht so hoch priorisiert. Ich denke aber auch, dass das eine sehr sinnvolle Erweiterung wäre, weshalb ich das Thema höher priorisieren und zeitnah angehen werde. ### 2/5 — Gute Idee, schlecht gemacht *2023-03-18* Weil es leider viel zu kompliziert und unübersichtlich ist. Überhaupt nicht intuitiv bedienbar. Man verhaspelt sich jedes mal aufs neue. Hab es jetzt 1 Monat ernsthaft versucht zu nutzen und gebe jetzt genervt auf. App gelöscht, da mach ich mir lieber die gute alte Strichliste **Developer response:** Danke für deine Rezension! Was genau fehlt dir? Oder wo könnte die App intuitiver gestaltet sein? Ich bin immer offen für konstruktives Feedback. ## Frequently asked questions about Pantrist ### What does Pantrist do?
