Know what’s in your kitchen before it expires.
Scan barcodes and expiration dates, organize your pantry, fridge, and freezer, and get reminders while there is still time to use what you bought.
Key Features
Barcode and expiration-date scanning
Scan a product barcode to fill in product details, then capture its printed date without typing every field by hand.
Expiration reminders you control
Choose how early FridgeBuddy should notify you, from an urgent reminder to enough notice for planning a meal.
Fridge, freezer, pantry, and more
Organize food by storage location and use smart lists to see expiring, expired, or recently added items across the kitchen.
One household inventory
Share your household once so family members or roommates can stay aligned across storage locations and shopping lists.
Shopping lists connected to inventory
Keep shared shopping lists beside the food you already track, making it easier to avoid duplicate purchases.
Widgets, Siri, and Shortcuts
