GalleyKeeper is your copilot for a well-stocked kitchen. Scan the barcode on a packet and it builds a living inventory that tells you what you already have — so you stop buying duplicates and stop throwing food away. SCAN A PACKET Point your camera at the barcode and GalleyKeeper names the product, sorts it by category and location, and stows it in your galley. Barcodes are read entirely on your device — the picture is never stored or uploaded. No barcode on it? Adding an item by hand is always one tap away. THE SMART DO-NOT-BUY LIST At the store, GalleyKeeper flags what you already have plenty of and guards your shopping list against duplicates. Fewer wasted dollars, less forgotten food. EXPIRATION & LOW-STOCK ALERTS See what's expiring soon and what's running low, with optional on-device reminders so nothing goes to waste or runs out. A GLANCEABLE STOCK SCORE The Provisions Gauge sums up your kitchen at a glance — staples covered, freshness, and low waste in one number. SHARE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD Add crew members so everyone sees the same inventory and shopping list. GALLEYKEEPER PLUS (optional subscription) Unlock the Flight Log (dollars saved and waste averted), full history, unlimited crew, and advanced expiry intelligence. - Monthly ($3.99) or annual ($19.99), with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID Settings. Scanning, your full inventory, the do-not-buy list, and basic reminders stay free forever.

DineInDorm is built for one kitchen: a mini-fridge, a microwave, maybe an air fryer, and a budget that has to last until Friday. THE FUEL SCORE A transparent 0-100 read on how well your day actually fuels you, computed on your phone from the meals you log against USDA MyPlate targets. Seven visible parts, no black box, and never a weight-loss claim. The four food-group rings of the Fuel Plate are the same numbers, so the picture and the score always agree. SNAP YOUR CAMPUS MEAL Photograph your dining-hall tray and get an editable estimate of what is on it (with a free account). It is an estimate you correct before it logs, and it sits next to a hand-built plate so a number is never taken on faith. The photo is read once and never stored. RECIPES FOR THE APPLIANCES YOU OWN Filter the recipe library by microwave, air fryer, kettle, blender or no-cook, plus budget, diet, allergens and prep time. Every card shows cost per serving and protein per dollar. MONEY, NOT JUST MACROS A weekly food budget with a live burn-down, an end-of-week projection and an eight-week spend trend, so Thursday is never a surprise. ALSO INSIDE Use it without an account: everything you log is kept on your phone, and a free account backs it up. Weekly meal planner, an aisle-grouped shopping list built from your plan, healthier swaps aimed at the exact gaps your score found, a logging streak with milestones, and a feed of curated dorm-cooking hacks you can save and add your own to. DINEINDORM PREMIUM (optional subscription) Auto-plan your whole week of dinners in one tap, unlimited AI Fuel Coach notes (free: one a day), and a 30-day Fuel Score trend and insights (free: 14 days). - Monthly or annual, with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase; the subscription auto-renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings DineInDorm offers wellness and educational nutrition guidance. It is not medical or dietary advice, and nutrition figures for photos and recipes are estimates.
