Smart Pantry tracks the food you have at home and its expiry dates. Scan the barcode instead of typing the product name, then scan the date on the package. Create a pantry for each place in your home: one for the fridge, one for the freezer, one for the cupboard, one for the cellar. Each pantry shows what is inside. When you freeze something, move it to the freezer pantry. SCAN FOOD AND EXPIRY DATES - Scan a barcode to add a product. If the product is unknown, type its name. - Scan the best-before or use-by date on the package, or type it yourself. - Add the products you buy often again from your recent items. SEE WHAT EXPIRES FIRST - Sort food by expiry date, in one pantry or across all pantries. - Mark food as consumed, opened, discarded or expired. - Every Sunday you get a summary of what expires that week. - With Smart Pantry Plus you also get a reminder on the day food expires. RECIPE IDEAS FOR EXPIRING FOOD Get recipe ideas for the items that expire soon, based on the food you have. SHARE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD Invite family or housemates to a pantry with a code, so everyone sees the same food. FREE AND PLUS Smart Pantry is free with ads. On a free account, the cloud date read and recipe ideas start after a short video. Smart Pantry Plus removes the ads and the videos. Use Smart Pantry as a pantry inventory, a fridge and freezer inventory, an expiry date tracker, an expiration date reminder and a grocery barcode scanner.
