## What is Smantry?

Everyone knows it: You want to cook something delicious - but many of your supplies have long since expired. Very annoying and expensive! The larger the household, the more difficult it is to keep track of your stock. 

This is where the pantry app helps you:
- Keep track of your food and its best-before date.
- Save money by shopping more efficiently and throwing away less food.
- Manage up to 100 items for free!

*** Your stock in the app ***
With the pantry app you can scan your supplies and always keep track of them. You can store up to 100 items for free in different storage locations and note the best before date. Scanning only takes a few seconds. You can expand the app at any time and organize an unlimited number of items with the premium version.

*** Save food together - an app for the whole household ***
Many cooks spoil the broth, as we all know - but not with the pantry app. Here, the entire household can work together. So everyone can check comfortably from the sofa or even while shopping, whether there is enough pizza in the freezer and which foods will soon exceed the MHD. Misunderstandings and wrong purchases are practically excluded with the pantry app.

*** Who is the pantry app suitable for? ***
With the pantry app, you have a full overview of your supplies and can effectively save food and save money:

Pantry for home users
- Ideal for preppers with large supplies that shouldn't go to waste.
- Families, shared kitchens in shared apartments or dormitories. 
- For the fridge in the camper or in the vacation home - with the app you manage your stock conveniently from a distance.
- When you come back from vacation, you can avoid nasty surprises in the fridge and stock with the pantry app.

Overview for the fridge in the office
In the office, the fridge is never empty. More importantly, there is always fresh coffee with a valid MHD. 
Cafés, restaurants, bakeries or event organizers always keep track of their supplies with the Pantry App.

*** Save important food information ***
Attention to intolerances, allergies - or vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or without palm oil?  In the pantry app you can save individual information for each food. So you can mark preferred or dangerous foods for you or someone else in your household.

The pantry app is also available as a WebApp.

### 5/5 — Optimistic!

*2026-07-19*

So many pantry organization apps didn’t have what I was looking for. This app looks simple and actually functions relatively simply. I can use a barcode to scan items, manually add items, easily edit item names, and easily add/remove item without having to click multiple times just to edit the item. I can have multiple locations (ex. Fridge, freezer, pantry) but within that categorize by item type so it’s not a mess of items. When you use an item up it does not remove it, rather crosses it off so you know you need more! This is meant to reduce food waste but it’s great it doesn’t force you to add an expiration date. So many other apps pick a random incorrect date that takes time to manually edit. Let’s see how it works in reality, but it’s promising and has the features I was looking for!

### 3/5 — Mindestbestand

*2026-07-06*

Was ich wirklich schön fände wäre es, wenn es mehr Möglichkeiten gibt mit dem Mindestbestand zu arbeiten. zB: 
- Filter alle unter Mindestbestand anzeigen, -auf dem Dashboard extra Anzeige an welchem Ort Mindestbestand unterschritten wurde, alles unter Mindestbestand automatisch auf Einkaufsliste etc. Aktuell noch unübersichtlich, war für mich hauptkauf Grund von premium, das Feature hat leider enttäuscht

### 5/5 — Genau was ich gesucht habe

*2026-01-22*

Diese App ist genau was ich gesucht habe. Ich bin auch gleich auf die Premium Version umgestiegen. Einerseits, um den Entwickler zu unterstützen und natürlich auch die tollen Vorteile. Der Premium App in der kostenlosen Person hat mehr zum Beispiel gefehlt, dass ich keine eigenen Fotos hochladen kann. Ich kann diese App wirklich nur empfehlen. Danke fürs entwickeln und bereit.

### 5/5 — Tolle App, Spitzen-Support

*2025-10-04*

Die App ist wirklich toll und sehr funktional. Habe mir nach einer Testphase das Lifetime-Upgrade geholt, weil die App das wirklich wert ist. Leider ließ sich der Premium-Status zunächst nicht durch den Account meiner Frau mitnutzen, sodass sie weiterhin nur 100 Artikel verwalten konnte. Eine diesbezügliche Anfrage beim Support wurde super-freundlich und schnell bearbeitet. Der Account meiner Frau wurde manuell zum Premium-Status hinzugefügt. Nun können wir innerhalb des Haushalts beide die volle Funktionalität nutzen. Großes Lob und 5 Sterne.

### 5/5 — Die beste Datenbank für den Haushalt!

*2025-09-05*

Anfangs war ich skeptisch, da ich schon sehr viele Programme dieser Art getestet und wieder verworfen habe. Bei „Speisekammer“ wurde ich neugierig und war mehr als angenehm überrascht. Hier habe ich fast alles gefunden, was ich mir gewünscht habe. Es fehlen noch ein paar Kleinigkeiten, die ich in die „Wunschliste eintragen werde. Ansonsten kann man das Programm als wirklich perfekt bezeichnen. Ich habe mir jetzt die Dauerversion zugelegt. Knapp 100€ ist das allemal wert! Ich lasse mich überraschen, was hier noch tolles kommt.

### 4/5 — Gut gedacht

*2024-10-20*

Die App ist ziemlich durchdacht. Es gibt aber nervige Bugs, z.B. sollte die Tastatur an verschiedenen Stellen manuell minimiert werden können, bspw. beim verarbeiten von Einkäufen. Bei eingeblendeter Tastatur kann man auf Grund der eingeblendeten Tastatur nicht mehr auf den Speicherbutton kommt drücken (iPhone 13 Mini). Die App muss beendet werden anders kommt man aus dem Dialog nicht mehr raus.

### 5/5 — Klarheit im Kühlschrank

*2024-02-11*

Nach etwas Einarbeitung funktioniert das Scannen der Produkte recht schnell.

### 3/5 — Eigentlich klasse  - seit letztem Update nervig

*2023-08-06*

Grundsätzlich ist das eine sehr gute und vor allem sehr nützliche App - auch für unsere Zwecke in der Free-Version.

Seit dem letzten Update muss ich mich aber mindestens einmal am Tag neu anmelden. Da wir die App häufig nutzen, ist das super nervig!!! 😡

Wenn das Problem nicht bald behoben ist, werden wi uns nach einer Alternative umschauen müssen 😕

### 4/5 — Grundsätzlich gut

*2023-05-07*

Im Grunde gut zu bedienen mit ein paar Problemen beim nachträglichen anpassen der Stückzahlen aber wenn man verstanden hat wie das geht, kein Problem.
Die Liste der bereits hinterlegten Artikeln ist noch relativ überschaubar, hoffentlich ändert sich das mit der Steigerung der Anwender.
Aber warum sucht die App nicht ganz einfach im Netz nach zu dem Barcodes passenden Artikeln?!
Leider hängt sich die App während des Einsatzes einige male auf, besonders wenn Nachrichten eingehen oder man mal schnell in eine andere Anwendung switcht.

### 5/5 — Sehr gute App

*2023-02-17*

Ich benutze diese App seit geraumer Zeit. Sie hilft mir, meinen umfangreichen Vorrat übersichtlich zu halten.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.42.0 — 2026-09-27

Stocktaking, rebuilt

Stocktaking is no longer a search but a list you work through, with an overview of everything still open. When an item has several best-before dates, Smantry asks which group you are holding. And when you take something out, you say why: used up or thrown away.

Minimum stock at a glance

The "below minimum stock" filter shows in one move what needs buying again. You can set minimum levels per category, and the German civil protection agency's supply table comes ready as a template, scaled to people and days.

Faster day to day

The barcode scanner now uses the full camera image with the controls floating above it. Loading states show the shape of the list instead of a spinner. Search, sorting and filters share one bar, the item count is back above the list, and the add button is larger.

Help that answers back

In the support chat you can now rate an answer with a thumb, and links in messages open directly.

Also

- Dates can be shown as month and year (MM.YYYY) throughout
- A new, faster sign-in screen
- "Does not expire" is honoured everywhere

Fixed

- Product images open in full view again
- A stock filter you cleared stays cleared after a restart
- Subscribers can reach the plan switch again
- Errors while printing a PDF are reported instead of swallowed
- The scanner recovers when the camera is briefly in use elsewhere
- After a sign-in conflict Smantry explains the second account instead of showing an empty pantry
- All storage locations show up again when moving an item
- Team licences show the seats you bought instead of a single one
