Frigie isn't another expiry-date tracker. It learns how fast your household actually goes through groceries ā and tells you when you're about to run out, so your shopping list writes itself. Snap a grocery receipt or photograph an item, and Frigie drops it into your fridge as a sticker. Tell it how many people you feed and how you eat, and each item gets a countdown: how many days it will last at your real pace. A carton of milk for a family of four? Maybe five days. The same milk for one person? Two weeks. Frigie knows the difference. Each countdown ring ticks from green (plenty left) to amber (running low) to red (almost out). The moment something is about to run out, it slides onto your shopping list ā automatically. No more getting home to an empty carton. WHAT YOU CAN DO ⢠Scan & stock ā Photograph a receipt or a single item; Frigie reads it and adds stickers for you, no typing. ⢠Run-out countdowns ā Every item shows how many days of supply you have left, based on your household's real pace ā not a generic printed date. ⢠A shopping list that writes itself ā Items about to run out get added automatically. Mark anything "used up" and it's added too. Share the whole list as a clean image. ⢠Two ways to look ā A free-floating physics fridge you can shake and tilt, or a tidy grid for quick scanning. Your call. ⢠Cook from what you already have ā Tell Frigie how you want to eat (calories, protein, cooking time, cuisine) and it suggests real recipes built around what's in your fridge right now ā with photos, step-by-step instructions, a nutrition breakdown, saved favorites, and read-aloud steps while you cook. ⢠Allergy-aware ā Add what you avoid (peanuts, shellfish, anything) and Frigie flags it in recipes, your fridge, and your shopping list. ⢠Your own categories ā Beyond food, track household supplies, pet food, anything, on custom pages. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking, no ads. Frigie never collects your data. Know what you have. Know when you'll run out. Never make a wasted trip ā or buy a duplicate ā again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Frigie at none against Uchiaru?'s shown. Uchiaru?'s advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
