HoloFridge
Read full descriptionHide 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. YOUR PERSONAL COACH Holo Assistant keeps the conversation to one topic at a time: Fridge and food, Dieting, Meal plan, Shopping, Budget, Family, Activity. Short answers, built on your own data. ONE HOME, ONE RHYTHM One list and one fridge for everyone. Changes appear for all members instantly. Family mode answers the real questions: what works for picky kids tonight, how much to cook for four. HOLO GROWS WITH YOU Earn XP, badges and chef ranks from Apprentice to Maître as you waste less and cook more. Every season brings something new. Available in 15 languages. WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PAID Free includes core inventory, recipe discovery and limited Holo chat. Standard unlocks additional features including expiry tracking, nutrition, custom recipes, favourites and expanded shopping tools. Premium adds advanced features including AI-powered functionality, scanning, voice input, smart suggestions, savings insights and family features. Certain features have usage allowances shown inside the app. A NOTE ON AI Holo uses AI in selected features, including recipe generation, chat and supported scanning experiences. AI-generated information can be inaccurate. Always verify food safety, expiry dates, allergens and important nutritional information yourself. Holo does not provide medical or dietary advice. SUBSCRIPTIONS Holo offers Standard and Premium auto-renewable subscriptions with monthly and yearly options. The exact price for your App Store storefront is displayed before purchase.
