About
No more opening the fridge to find the milk expired a week ago.
Food Use-By records the expiration dates of the food in your home and reminds you before it's too late.
ADD ITEMS IN SECONDS
• Type a line like “Noodles 7 packs 3/22/2027” and the app picks out the name, quantity and expiry date.
• Month/year-only dates (e.g. “4/2027”), as printed on many packages, work too.
• Pick the unit from a ready-made list: pack, bottle, box, jar, can, bag… Units can be typed in any of the app's 8 languages.
• Prefer a form? Tap + to add an item step by step.
TIMELY REMINDERS, NOTHING MISSED
• Stockpiled items (cooking oil, sauces…): a reminder every month starting 12 months before expiry, so you can use them up in time.
• 30 days before, every day in the final week, on the day itself and for 3 days after.
• Weekly digest on the day you choose (Saturday by default): time left, amount left and how much to use per month.
• At most one notification a day, covering every item that needs attention. Busy? Long-press it and choose “Remind Me in 1 Hour”.
• Choose the reminder time and switch each kind of reminder on or off.
CLEAN AND EASY
• Items grouped clearly: Expired, Expiring Soon, Good. Search to find anything fast.
• Long-press an item to Edit, Use 1, mark it Used Up, Discard or Delete, or just swipe. Tapped by mistake? Tap Undo.
• Usage history for every item: who used it, how much and when.
• Clear out every expired item in one tap.
SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY
• Invite family via Messages or another app; everyone adds to and updates the same list.
• Choose per person: can edit, or view only while still getting reminders. Invitees see who owns the list.
• Create several lists, switch between them from the title, rename them or delete your own. Share each list with different people.
• Syncs via iCloud and works offline.
YOUR LANGUAGE
• 8 languages: Tiếng Việt, English, Русский, Français, 简体中文, Deutsch, 日本語, 한국어. Follows your phone by default; change it anytime in the app.
• Choose your date format: day/month/year, month/day/year or year/month/day.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• Your data lives in your own iCloud. No account, no ads, no tracking, no data collection.
• Export everything to a CSV file for Numbers, Excel or Google Sheets.
• Delete all data on the device and in iCloud at any time.
• Found a bug? Send a report from the app with technical details only, no item names or personal data.

What's New in Use
1.4.0
October 20, 2026
Track things that don’t expire: a new “Belongings” category for raincoats, helmets, tools… with no reminders, kept together at the end of your list. Type @ to note where something is (“Raincoat 3 pcs @garage”), view your list By Place, and search with “@shelf”. Rename or merge places in Settings → Places. Add a photo to any item so you know it at a glance. CSV export now includes Category, Value and Place. Family members sharing a list should update to 1.4 to see places, photos and Belongings.
