## What is Proviant?

Proviant tracks the food you have, whether that's a week of groceries or months of stored supplies, and tells you what to use before it turns.

Scan a barcode, type the date on the packet, and it's tracked. Items are grouped by days left, soonest first, with a notification when something's close. Mark a jar opened and its date shortens, since an open jar keeps for less than a sealed one.

ROTATION, NOT A MEAL PLAN
Each time it runs, the planner reads everything you own and suggests what most needs using. Not recipes, just an item and a reason: "Expires in 2 days," "3 cans left, use them up gradually." Allergies, medical and religious exclusions, and age limits are hard rules, never overridden. Hold more of something than can be eaten in time, and Proviant flags it months ahead rather than in its last week, with freezing, batch-cooking or giving away as the way out. It's the problem a large stockpile runs into, caught early instead of at the back of the shelf.

A SHOPPING LIST THAT WRITES ITSELF
Tell Proviant when to restock: on opening, on running out, or below a level you set.

WORKS WITHOUT A SIGNAL
Only the barcode lookup needs a connection. Everything else runs offline: on a plane, in a cellar, or during the week you stocked up for.

Also included: a home-screen widget, nutrition by day, week and month, twelve shelf-stable recipes plus your own, several people per household with their own needs, metric or US units, nine languages, full local backup with CSV export, and syncing to another phone nearby or through a shared folder.

All of this is free, with no ads and no limit on what you record.

PROVIANT PLUS
One purchase, no subscription, adds three things: inviting another Apple ID into your household, kept in sync automatically over iCloud, planning two weeks ahead instead of one, and a stockpile target. Set how long your stores should last, and Proviant compares what you hold against what your household needs and pushes any shortfall onto the shopping list, in real weights and volumes.

Every date is one you typed in, or an estimate of how much sooner an opened pack spoils. The app can't see or smell what's in the jar, so the packaging and your judgement come first.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-30

Proviant Plus: Sharing a household now keeps up with you.

• Changes reach the other phones in your household on their own, while the app is open. No more tapping Sync now.
• The shopping list is properly shared: add something or tick it off on one phone and the other follows. It no longer duplicates rows, or brings back ones you cleared.
• Adding a stockpile shortfall to the list no longer touches what somebody else put there.

Also in this update:
• Expiry warnings are scheduled in advance, so they arrive whether or not you have opened the app.
• Each kind of notification can be switched off on its own, under Settings.
• The app icon carries a badge for food that needs using.
• Joining a household brings its allergy, medical and age rules with it.
• Support Proviant: a tip jar for anyone who wants to say thanks. It unlocks nothing — Plus already does that.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-09-28

No release notes.
