TimeJar helps you keep track of expiration dates for the things you use at home. From food and medicine to skincare, pet supplies, baby products, and everyday essentials, TimeJar keeps important dates in one place. Add an item and its expiry date, and TimeJar automatically counts down the days and reminds you before it expires. The hourglass view gives you a quick, visual sense of what needs attention. Items nearing expiry stand out, while expired items drop below, so it’s easy to see what should be used first. Simple folders keep everything organized, the calendar gives you a clear view of the months ahead, and Home Screen widgets let you check upcoming expirations without opening the app. TimeJar also lets you mark items as used up or wasted, helping you spot your usage patterns and make better use of what you already have. Key Features • Automatic countdown and days remaining • Visual hourglass view for item status • Custom expiry reminders • Custom folders, starred items, and pending items • Monthly calendar for upcoming expirations • Track used-up and wasted items • Keep track of item value • Home Screen widgets for upcoming expirations • Searchable notes and data import/export • Your records stay on your device by default Use more.
