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.
