## What is Shelf Life?

Turn your camera into an AI expiry date tracker. Point it at any food label, and ShelfLife reads the date, names the product, and adds it to your pantry — in seconds.

Never be caught off guard again.

WHAT SHELFLIFE FIXES

Most food waste doesn't happen because you forgot to eat something. It happens because you didn't know it was expiring. ShelfLife makes every expiry date visible, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Shared fridges are chaotic. Whether you live with flatmates, family, or split time between two homes — keeping track of what's in the fridge is hard. ShelfLife lets everyone share a household pantry that stays in sync automatically.

You don't always know what's in your fridge before you arrive. ShelfLife lets you check your pantry from anywhere — so you know whether to stop at the grocery store before you even walk through the door.

Food costs money. The average household throws away over $2,900 in food every year (Source: U.S. EPA, 2025). ShelfLife costs less than a coffee a month.
