Managing your freezer to avoid food waste: inventory, dates, what to eat first
Manage your freezer without waste: know what's in it, and eat it on time.
Freezer keeps track of your freezer inventory: each product receives a number to write on the bag with a marker, a "use by" date depending on the type of food, and the app shows you what to eat first. No more frosty bags forgotten at the back of the drawer.
A NUMBER ON EACH BAG
• With each addition, the app assigns a free-form number: write it on the bag, and find the product without guessing what's under the frost.
• Search for a product by name or number.
ADD IN SECONDS
• Suggested names during entry, the type of food guessed, and today's date suggested.
• "Add another" to add all your groceries at once.
• Portions, precision ("500g," "serves 4"), drawer or shelf, notes.
A DATE FOR EVERY FOOD ITEM
• An estimated shelf life is provided for 17 food types: ground meat, poultry, fish, prepared meals, soup, vegetables, bread, ice cream, etc.
• For frozen food, use the date on the packaging.
• All shelf lives can be changed, either individually or in the settings.
EAT FIRST
• Products that are past their expiration date, followed by those that need to be eaten soon, are displayed at the top of the home screen.
• A widget for the home screen displays the products that should be eaten first.
• A reminder on Sundays, if you wish, with what to eat during the week. It remains disabled until you activate it.
PUT OUT A PORTION
• A four-portion dish? Pull out one portion: the app keeps track.
• A finished product is moved to the "To Buy Again" list.
THE "REPURCHASE" LIST
• Check items as you shop, and add more manually.
• "Add to freezer" from an item: the form is already filled out.
MULTIPLE FREEZERS
• Kitchen, garage, basement: as many freezers as you want, with their drawers or shelves.
• Share your inventory or shopping list in a message (SMS, email, messaging app).
TO YOUR TASTE
• Light and dark themes to match your phone; four additional color themes, each unlocked by a short video, only if you choose.
Compatible with TalkBack; your phone's text size is preserved.
YOUR DATA STAYES ON YOUR PHONE
• No account or registration required: the app works immediately, even without a network connection.
• Export your data to a file to switch phones, import it, or delete it with a single tap.
SOURCE OF STORAGE TIMES
The suggested storage times are based on FoodKeeper data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety Information Service (USDA FSIS, public domain). They are indicative and pertain to the quality of food stored at -18°C: food that has been frozen for a long time loses most of its flavor and texture. If in doubt, rely on appearance and smell. The app is not affiliated with the USDA.
The app is free and funded by discreet advertising: a banner at the bottom of the home screen, inventory, and "To Repurchase" list, never during data entry; a full-screen ad at the end of an action, a maximum of one per day; and videos only if you choose to watch one. You choose whether your data can be used to personalize ads when you first launch the app, and you can change your mind in Settings.
