No account and no ads. Your food list stays on your device. USE IT BEFORE IT GOES Today shows what to eat now, in the next three days, and later. Mark food Used or Tossed in one tap, or just part of a pack, with undo. Food that doesn't expire, like rice or soda, can be saved without a date. ADD FOOD FAST • Scan a barcode to fill in the product from Open Food Facts • Read the best-by date off the package with the camera • Shelf Photo (Beta): take one photo of a shelf and review the food it finds • Scan Receipt (Beta): read a grocery receipt on your device and add what you bought • Type it, or say "Add food to FreshF" to Siri RECIPES FROM YOUR KITCHEN Save your own recipes and see which ingredients you already have and which to buy. Tap I Made This and FreshF marks the ingredients used. Optional Recipe Ideas suggests recipes for a search or for the food that needs using soonest. SHOPPING LIST Add food to the list as you use it up, set how many of a staple to keep on hand, and FreshF adds it back to the list when you run low. Send the list to Reminders or share it. CALM REMINDERS One daily reminder counts what's due today, tomorrow, and this week. Pick the time and what it includes. WIDGETS, LIVE ACTIVITY, AND APPLE WATCH See what to use next on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and mark food used from the widget. On Apple Watch, check your list, mark food used, and add food from your wrist. SAVE MONEY, WASTE LESS FreshF estimates the money you save by eating food in time and shows where waste still happens, with streaks and badges along the way. It can even suggest buying less of something you keep throwing out. PRIVACY FIRST No account, no analytics, no tracking. Your food list, photos, and recipes stay on your device. • Barcode lookups send only the barcode number to Open Food Facts. • Product pictures, which you can turn off in Settings, send Open Food Facts the barcode, or a product's brand and name. • Package Recognition, off until you turn it on, sends a smaller copy of a shelf photo, without location or camera details, to OES Software's server and on to an AI model to name the packages. The photo isn't kept. • Recipe Ideas, off until you turn it on, sends your search words or the names of your food to OES Software's server and on to an AI model. They aren't kept.
