Shelfbell: Expiry Reminder

Scan a barcode or the date on the label, note where it is kept, and get one daily reminder before food, drinks and cosmetics expire. Works offline, no sign-up.

Keep track of what expires when: food, drinks, cosmetics, cleaning products, baby and pet supplies. Get one reminder a day before things expire, so less goes in the bin.

No account needed. Everything stays on your iPhone and works offline.

ADD ITEMS QUICKLY • Scan the barcode. Items you added before fill themselves in. • Scan the label: the camera reads the expiry and manufacture dates on the device itself, in many date formats and languages. You check the result before it is used. • Or type the date. If only the manufacture date and shelf life are printed, the expiry date is worked out for you. • Add a photo so you know which bottle is which.

REMINDERS THAT FIT • A daily summary at the time you choose, never a flood of notifications. • Remind 7, 3 or 1 days before, or any days you like. • Set reminders for all items, a whole category, or a single item. • Track opened items too: "use within 12 months after opening". • Home Screen widget: see what expires next without opening the app.

FIND THINGS FAST • See what has expired, what expires soon and what is still fine. • Search by name, brand, barcode or notes. • Filter by category and sort by expiry date, name or date added. • Note where each item is kept, such as the fridge, pantry or bathroom cabinet, and filter by place. • Mark items as used up or thrown away, and bring them back if you change your mind.

SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY • Optional: sync your devices through your own Google Drive. Use one Google account on every phone and the whole family sees the same list. • See who added or changed an item. • The app uses a hidden folder in your Drive and cannot see your other files.

YOUR DATA, YOUR FILE • Back up everything, photos included, to one file. Keep it in Files, or move it to a new iPhone. • Protect the backup with a password if you like. • Restore on any of your devices.

OPTIONAL • Look up product names online (Open Food Facts). Off until you allow it; only the barcode is sent.

Also: light and dark appearance, iPhone and iPad, and English, Bahasa Melayu, 简体中文 and 繁體中文.
