CroFresh helps you keep track of anything with an expiration date, so food, medicine, skincare, documents, software licenses, pet supplies, and everyday items do not quietly expire. Create an item in seconds with a name, category, expiration date, optional note, and photo. CroFresh keeps everything organized in a clean list, highlights what is expired or coming due, and lets you search, filter, and sort when your collection grows. Key features: Track expiration dates for food, medicine, skincare, mother and baby items, pet supplies, software, documents, and more. Add photos from your camera or photo library to recognize items at a glance. Save notes for storage details, batch numbers, renewal steps, or anything you want to remember. Set up to 3 reminders for each item, with custom days-before and time settings. See clear status labels for expired items, items due today, and remaining days. Search by item name, filter by category, and sort by date or name. No account required. CroFresh is built for the small things that are easy to forget: groceries in the fridge, medicine in the cabinet, skincare after opening, documents that need renewal, and services that should be cancelled or updated before a deadline. Keep your items visible. Handle them before they expire.
