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.

Food spoils at the back of the fridge. A second jar of the same sauce comes home because nobody checked the cupboard. What's In My Kitchen is a pantry inventory and food expiration tracker: know what you have, use what expires next, and buy only what you need. PANTRY, FRIDGE AND FREEZER INVENTORY Save each item with its quantity, storage location and expiration date: fridge, freezer, pantry or other. Each batch keeps its own quantity and date, so two packs bought on different days are tracked separately and you can use the older one first. SCAN BARCODES TO ADD FOOD FAST Scan a product barcode or type the item in yourself. Set the quantity and the expiration date, pick where it is stored, and save it to your pantry. SCAN EXPIRATION DATES (PREMIUM) Point your camera at the printed best-before or use-by date and the app reads it for you. Check the suggested date before saving; you can always enter or correct it by hand. EXPIRY REMINDERS Choose how many days ahead you want to be reminded before food expires. Sort your pantry by nearest expiration date and see at a glance what needs using first. STOP BUYING DUPLICATES Check your pantry before you shop. Keep the groceries you need on one shopping list, add quantities, and check items off in the store. COOK FROM WHAT YOU HAVE (PREMIUM) Find recipe ideas based on the ingredients already in your kitchen, starting with food that expires soon, and waste less of what you bought. ONE PANTRY FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD (PREMIUM) Invite the people you live with and share one kitchen. Everyone sees the same stock and the same shopping list, synced to every phone. Manage members and your invite link from Settings. Premium can be shared with Apple Family Sharing. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan a barcode or add an item by hand. 2. Set the quantity, storage location and expiration date. 3. Get reminders, use what expires next and shop from your list. PREMIUM Premium includes recipe ideas from your stock, the camera expiration date scanner, household sharing and an ad-free experience.
