HoloFridge

Read full description

NOT JUST a fridge app. Holo is a quiet, intelligent home for everything you eat. It remembers what is in your fridge, freezer and pantry, tells you what expires first, cooks from what you already have, and shows you the money that comes back when nothing is wasted. SCAN ONCE Add products by receipt, photo, voice or a quick manual entry. Scan several products at once. Holo recognises them, sets the dates and files them where they belong. NOTHING WASTED Expiring soon, past date, one tap to review. Holo suggests a recipe for what expires first, before it is too late. COOK WHAT YOU HAVE Recipes built from your fridge, not a catalogue. Holo swaps what you are missing for what you own and puts the rest on your list in one tap. ONLY WHAT YOU NEED A shopping list by aisle, by recipe or buy-again. Holo notices when essentials run low, keeps you under your budget and shares the list with the whole family. HOLO KNOWS WHAT'S ON YOUR PLATE Photograph a meal and get calories, protein, carbs and fat for every item, plus a Holo Grade. Your daily goal updates as you eat. SEE MONEY COME BACK Weekly, monthly and three-month analytics: products used, products wasted, money saved, calories per day. Ask Holo for your report in one line.

ONE HOME, ONE RHYTHM One list and one fridge for everyone. Changes appear for all members instantly.
