ExpiryPal keeps track of everything that has an expiry date and reminds you before it runs out. Scan the date, look up the name, forget it. We'll remind you. SCAN THE DATE Point the camera at the printed expiry date and ExpiryPal reads it on your phone. Switch between day-month and month-day when the pack is printed the other way. You can also pick the date yourself. OPENED A JAR OR A TUBE? There is no date to scan. Tap Open jar and choose the symbol on the pack: 6M, 9M, 12M, 18M, 24M, or another number of months. Tell ExpiryPal when you opened it, and it works out the use-by date. THE NAME, WITHOUT TYPING Scan the barcode on the package and ExpiryPal looks up the product. When it finds one, it fills in the name, the brand and a matching category. The barcode is not the expiry date. If nothing comes back, type the name yourself. EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL Your home screen is one calm list, sorted by days left. Items that need action come first and everything else stays quiet. A quick summary shows what is expired, what expires this week and what is on track. Search by name, place or category. Every status comes with an icon and a word, never just a colour. FOR EVERYTHING WITH A DATE Food, medicine, cosmetics, documents and anything else. Milk in the fridge, cream in the bathroom, a passport in the drawer. REMINDERS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE Get a reminder before something expires. Several items due the same day arrive together, and you can snooze a reminder for a day. No surprises in the fridge, or at the airport. SIMPLE AND PRIVATE No account and no sign-up. Your items, photos and reminders stay on your phone. Reading a date never leaves the device. A barcode is sent only when you ask ExpiryPal to look up a product name. FREE TO START Track up to 10 items for free, with date scanning, open-jar dates, barcode lookup and reminders included. EXPIRYPAL PRO Unlimited items, plus photos for every item, storage locations (fridge, freezer, pantry, bathroom and your own places), category tabs, a custom reminder time, reminders per category, a backup of your items, and alternate app icons. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or pay once for lifetime access. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS ExpiryPal Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase.
