## What is Shelfy?

Shelfy keeps track of what's in your pantry — and now of what ends up on your plate.

Scan the barcode, add the expiry date, done. Shelfy reminds you before anything goes off, suggests recipes from what you already have, and keeps a full nutrition diary if you want one. Without typing anything twice: the nutrition data comes along with the scan anyway.

Your pantry, without the work • Scan barcodes instead of typing — name, image and nutrition facts fill themselves in • Capture expiry dates with the camera or add them in seconds • Reminders before things expire — you decide how early • Sorted by category, with a freshness score at a glance

Nutrition diary • Pick your portion in grams — Shelfy converts per-100 g values to what you actually ate • Quick picks from the product's own serving and package sizes • Calorie ring with a daily goal, macro bars for protein, carbs and fat • Grouped by meal, with a recents list for the things you eat often • Works for food outside your pantry too: scan it or enter it by hand • Optionally record vitamins and minerals when the data is available • CSV export — your data stays yours

Apple Health • Logged nutrients go straight to Apple Health • Shelfy can read your burned calories and raise your daily goal accordingly • Meals you log in other apps can count towards your day

How healthy is this? • Nutri-Score and NOVA processing level right after the scan • Additives spelled out in plain language instead of E-numbers, with context • Allergens and vegetarian labelling

Recipes from your pantry • Suggestions built from what you have — favouring what expires soonest • Staples like salt, oil and flour count as available • Filters for vegetarian and for allergens you avoid • Missing ingredients go to your shopping list with one tap

Shopping and sharing • A shopping list that fills itself from recipes and from what ran out • Share a household over iCloud — everyone sees the same pantry • Record prices and follow how they change • Optionally share prices anonymously with the community; switching it off withdraws what you already shared

Your data Shelfy has no user account. Your pantry and your diary live on your device, household sharing runs through your own private iCloud. Community prices are sent with nothing that points back to you — and only if you turn that on.

Product data comes from Open Food Facts.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.2 — 2026-08-12

Bug fixes and improvements:

• Ingredients are matched correctly – chocolate milk no longer counts as milk, jalapeños no longer as vegetables
• Every recipe now has a photo
• You appear under your own name in the household instead of "Member"
• Better legibility in dark mode
• Support for larger text sizes

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-11

The biggest update since launch: Shelfy now knows not just what you have at home, but what you eat from it.

Nutrition diary — new Its own tab. Pick your portion in grams and Shelfy converts the per-100 g values to what you actually ate. With a calorie ring, a daily goal, macro bars and entries grouped by meal. It works for food that isn't in your pantry too — scan it or type it in. A recents list saves you the repetition, and everything exports as CSV.

Apple Health Logged nutrients land in Apple Health. In return, Shelfy can read your burned calories and raise your daily goal to match, and meals from other apps can count towards your day.

How healthy is this? Scans now show the Nutri-Score, the NOVA processing level and any additives spelled out in plain language instead of E-numbers. Vitamins and minerals can be recorded as well.

Better recipes Ingredient matching no longer trips over compound words. Staples like salt, oil and flour count as available, there are filters for vegetarian and for allergens, missing ingredients go to your shopping list with one tap, and recipes you're not interested in can be hidden.

Region and currency Now yours to set instead of following the system language. Handy if your iPhone runs in English but you shop in Switzerland.

A redesigned app Consistent surfaces, more depth, smoother transitions between list and detail — and text that reads clearly everywhere.

Fixed • A crash when connecting to Apple Health • A crash at launch when the database could not be opened • Products consumed from the diary now leave the pantry as well • Content no longer scrolls over the page header • Turning off price sharing now withdraws prices you already shared

### 1.3.2 — 2026-05-19

  product — and share your own prices if you'd like.

- Smarter Date Detection: Expiry dates without separators 
  (e.g. "24 12 2026") are now reliably recognized.

- Many small improvements and bug fixes for a smoother experience.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-05-06

### 1.3.0 — 2026-05-05
