Cupboard helps you remember what you already bought, what expires soon, and what you can cook before buying more. Add groceries manually, with quick-add shortcuts, from a product photo, or by scanning a receipt.

WHAT CUPBOARD DOES · Keeps a simple grocery inventory on your device · Separates items by house and storage place · Shows food that should be used soon · Maintains a shopping list you can check off without reordering it · Scans receipts into editable draft items · Helps fill item names, sizes, and dates from photos when readable · Suggests realistic recipes and highlights missing ingredients · Lets you favorite recipes and revisit recipe history CUPBOARD PRO Cupboard Pro unlocks higher-value helpers such as receipt scanning, photo autofill, and recipe chat. The app still works without Pro for basic grocery tracking. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Cupboard is account-free. Your grocery names, notes, photos, and cupboard contents stay on your device. Optional aggregate analytics may be used to understand crashes, onboarding, recipe use, and Pro conversion, but grocery contents are not sent to analytics. Receipt and photo recognition can make mistakes. Cupboard shows editable drafts so you can review amounts, dates, and item names before saving. Terms of Use: https://getglod.com/cupboard/terms.html

Groceries go bad before you get to them. Fresh fixes that. Snap a photo of your grocery haul, or scan a receipt, and Fresh identifies what you bought, sorts it into your fridge, freezer, or pantry, and tracks how long it's good for by reading printed dates when it can, and giving you an honest, clearly-labeled estimate when it can't. WHAT FRESH DOES - AI-powered scanning: photograph a whole grocery haul at once, scan a receipt, or add a single item — Fresh identifies each one and figures out where it belongs. - Freshness tracking: see what needs to be used soon at a glance, with reminders before things go bad, not after. - Recipes from what you have: generate recipes built around your actual kitchen, tuned to your diet, allergies, and preferences, so nothing good goes to waste. - Meal planning and shopping lists: plan the week, and Fresh tells you exactly what you're missing. - Share a kitchen: track groceries together with roommates or family in a shared household, with a simple activity feed so everyone stays on the same page. - See your impact: Fresh tracks how much food (and money) you've actually saved over time. Fresh is built for people who buy groceries with good intentions and then let life get in the way. Let Fresh keep track, so you don't have to.
