About

PantryPal Tracker

Features
Read full description

PantryPal helps you remember what is already in your pantry, fridge, and freezer. Add items manually, scan a receipt with Apple's on-device text recognition, and review every detected line before anything is saved. PantryPal keeps the workflow calm and local: no account, no remote receipt upload, no analytics SDK, and no third-party advertising SDK. Use PantryPal to: - Track pantry, fridge, freezer, and shelf items - Set optional best-before reminders you control - Review receipt text line by line before saving - Browse short meal idea prompts from bundled cards - Group items by zones such as Pantry, Fridge, Freezer, Snacks, and Leftovers - Delete all local data from Settings Premium lifetime unlock: - Unlimited active pantry items - Unlimited custom zones Important scope notes: PantryPal is a general home pantry organizer. It does not determine food condition, provide nutrition guidance, detect allergens, or replace checking labels and using your own judgment. Receipt text recognition is best effort and always requires your review before saving.

About

PantryTracker Inventory

Read full description

PantryTracker Inventory helps you record pantry, fridge, freezer, and custom storage locations with quantities, user-entered expiry dates, low-stock thresholds, and notes. Adjust quantities by one directly from populated Dashboard and History & Insights rows. A confirmation protects the transition to zero, which keeps the entry available in Used and Shopping List. Dashboard attention and low-stock cues update from the saved quantity. Search local entries—including names you give custom storage locations—and review shopping-list, used, expiring, expired, and location groupings derived from your records. Settings lets you share current inventory as CSV or make a versioned JSON backup containing editable records. Sharing moves a copy outside the app; PantryTracker Inventory does not restore or import exported files. Inventory records stay locally on your iPhone, and no sign-in is required.
