Haltbar

Your pantry shouldn't be the place where food quietly goes off.

Haltbar keeps track of what's in your cupboards and when it's due, without turning it into admin. Point your camera at a barcode and the name and photo fill themselves in. Aim it at the printed best-before date and it reads that too. Adding an item takes seconds.

SEE IT AT A GLANCE Three tiles at the top of the home screen tell you whether anything needs you: what's expired, what's expiring soon, and what's still fine.

SCANNING THAT ASKS BEFORE IT ASSUMES Printed dates are messy. Dot-matrix ink on curved, glossy packaging, sitting right next to a batch code that looks just like a date. So instead of silently guessing, Haltbar shows what it read as a chip you tap to confirm. A wrong read doesn't interrupt you, it just fades away while you keep scanning. And you can always type a date in yourself.

REMINDERS, NOT NAGGING An optional weekly reminder tells you what's coming up, on the day and at the time you choose. You decide how many days ahead counts as expiring soon.

ALSO INSIDE • Categories you can add, rename and reorder • Quantities, photos and search • Filter by category or by status • Export and import a full backup

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads. Everything you add stays on your iPhone. The only thing that ever leaves your device is a barcode number, sent to look up a product name.
