PantryPalPantry & food expiry tracker
Eat it before it goes off.
PantryPal shows what in your kitchen needs using first, what it's worth, and what to cook with it tonight. Then it plans the week around it.
Free to start · iPhone and iPad
How it works
From shopping bag to dinner in three steps.
Add your food
Tap common foods, scan a receipt, snap your fridge, scan a barcode or type a list. Expiry dates are estimated for you.
See what's urgent
One screen shows what goes off soonest and roughly what it cost. Mark it used, toss it, or freeze it.
Cook it
Get dinners planned from what you already have. Only the missing bits go on your shopping list.
