DUE AI

Stop wasting food. Start cooking what you already bought. Due AI is a fridge tracker that reads expiry dates from packaging, shows what to use first, and turns soon-to-expire food into recipe ideas — so leftovers get eaten instead of thrown out. SCAN, DON’T TYPE Point your camera at a label. Due AI reads the product and the date so you can save items in seconds. Scan one package, or snap several photos of a grocery haul and add everything at once. Manual entry is still there when you need it. SEE WHAT TO USE FIRST Your fridge is sorted by urgency: tonight, use soon, and later. Open any item to update it, mark it used, or remove it. A timeline shows what’s due this week so meal planning is obvious. COOK FROM WHAT’S EXPIRING Pick ingredients from your fridge and get practical recipes built around food that would otherwise go to waste. SHOP SMARTER Build a shopping list from what’s running low, so you restock what you need instead of buying duplicates. SEE YOUR IMPACT Track items saved from the bin, money you didn’t throw away, and a simple fridge health score. MADE FOR REAL KITCHENS Available in many languages. Your food list stays with your account so you can pick up where you left off.
