FoodSaver: Food Expiry Tracker

FoodSaver tracks what is in your fridge, freezer and pantry, and its fastest input is the receipt. Photograph the grocery receipt and the whole shop is added at once, sorted into categories, so logging takes seconds instead of a typing session. Items are listed by how soon they expire with colour coding, there is a calendar view for the month, reminders arrive as far in advance as you choose, and widgets show the next items to use.

A shared household keeps partners or flatmates on the same fridge and shopping list. Receipt reading depends on how clear the receipt is, so expect to fix the odd line. It is made by a single indie developer who invites feature requests by email, which suits people who like to shape the tools they use.
