## What is ShelfLife AI?

You already bought the food. Let's make sure it actually gets eaten.

The average household throws away about $1,500 of food a year — and honestly, it's rarely dramatic. It's just the bag of spinach that quietly wilted at the back of the fridge, or the chicken that expired while you were ordering takeout instead. ShelfLife is here to gently fix that, one shelf at a time.

ADD IT ONCE, AND WE'LL REMEMBER FOR YOU Log items from your fridge, freezer, and pantry with a name, and an expiry date. Everything sorts itself by urgency, so whatever needs love first is always right at the top.

A FRIENDLY NUDGE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE We'll check in 2 days before something expires, give you a gentle nudge the day before, and one last heads-up on the day itself. No spreadsheets, no guilt trips, no sad discoveries three weeks later.

LET AI TELL YOU WHAT TO COOK TONIGHT Instead of just warning you that your spinach expires tomorrow, ShelfLife tells you exactly what to make with it tonight:

Use It Up — full recipes built around whatever's expiring soonest
More Ideas — fresh inspiration from whatever's currently on your shelf
Quick Tips — quick one-line ideas for using up single ingredients

SHARING A KITCHEN? SHARE A SHELF. Couples, roommates, and families can set up a shared household together. Add milk on your phone and it shows up on your partner's right away. Everyone sees the same recipes too, so nobody's left wondering what's for dinner.

WATCH YOUR PROGRESS ADD UP The Impact tab keeps a warm, simple record of what you've saved versus what you've let go — a little chart, a running history, a real sense of the habit taking shape.

FREE TO START Track up to 10 items with basic expiry reminders — no strings attached.

SHELFLIFE PRO Unlimited items, AI recipes, household sharing, full impact history, and custom notifications.

Less waste, more dinners you're actually excited about. Welcome to ShelfLife.

### 5/5 — Super helpful!

*2026-08-24*

Very clean design and easy to use. I love the recipe feature!

### 5/5 — Best fridge tracker out there — FINALLY!!

*2026-08-24*

I've tried a bunch of grocery/fridge apps and this one blows the rest out of the water. The UI is clean and genuinely fun to use — no clutter, no confusing menus, just a great-looking app that actually makes tracking what's in your fridge easy instead of a chore. Adding items is fast, and the design makes you actually want to keep it updated. Highly recommend if you're tired of food going bad in the back of the fridge because you forgot it was there
