You can save up to $60 a month. Fango reminds you in time which food to use first, so you eat the groceries you buy instead of throwing money in the trash. Scan your grocery receipt and the AI adds the items to your fridge and estimates the shelf life and expiration date of each one. Correct the date to the best-by, use-by or expiration date on the package if you like. Your fridge, freezer and pantry inventory in one list. Try Fango free for one month, with every feature included. After the trial, Fango continues with a subscription that renews automatically. You’ll see the price in the app before you buy, and you can cancel anytime. No account, no sign-up: by default your data stays on your phone. HOW FANGO WORKS 1. Snap a photo of your receipt after shopping — or add items by hand in seconds 2. The AI recognizes the products and estimates shelf life: fridge, freezer or pantry 3. The expiration date reminder tells you in time what to use first 4. You eat what would have gone to waste — and see the money saved in your stats EXPIRATION DATE REMINDERS - A reminder alert 1–14 days before the best-by or use-by date, adjustable per item - Act straight from the notification: eaten, wasted, postpone or freeze - Freezer and pantry items remind you more gently, up to a month ahead - Freeze with one tap — shelf life extends automatically - Each storage place gets its own shelf life and reminder rhythm - The home-screen widget stays up to date even if you don’t open the app for days RECEIPT SCANNING - Paper receipts with the camera, e-receipts from your photo library, PDF receipts from Files - Works with receipts from more than 60 countries — fees, discounts and deposits are filtered out - The AI suggests a shelf life and expiration date for every item; adjust anything before adding - No typing, no barcodes - Share a receipt to Fango straight from another app - Add single items yourself too: Fango suggests your previous products and remembers prices LESS FOOD WASTE, SAVINGS IN REAL MONEY - Stats: food rescued, food wasted and your rescue rate — week to year - A monthly savings goal you set yourself, or switch off entirely - Multi-currency support — stats in your own currency A SHOPPING LIST IN THE SAME APP - Mark an item as eaten — one tap adds it to the shopping list - Fango suggests what you buy regularly, based on your receipt history - The grocery list sorts itself by store aisle, and the grocery budget shows a cart estimate before checkout - Multiple lists: weekly groceries, cabin, party ONE SUBSCRIPTION, FOUR PEOPLE Connect up to four phones as one household. One active subscription covers everybody: nobody else needs their own subscription or a payment card. - A shared fridge: everyone sees the same items and the same expiration dates - Anyone can add items, mark them eaten or remove them - Share only the shopping lists you choose — the rest stay yours - Invite with a code: no account, no email address Get Fango — expiration date reminders, receipt scanner and food waste tracking in one app. The food you buy gets eaten, and you cut your grocery bill: try it free for a month. PRIVACY Products, dates, prices, shopping lists and stats stay on your phone by default. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no ad networks. Household sharing is the only feature where part of your food data is stored on a server — and only if you create or join a household yourself. The household then shares items, shared shopping lists and entries under an anonymous ID; your receipts, product memory and settings stay on your device. When the last member leaves, the household’s data is deleted. Privacy policy: https://fango.fi/privacy-policy/ Terms of use: https://fango.fi/terms
