EcoShelf: Food Expiry Tracker

EcoShelf is a private food expiry tracker and pantry inventory app. Scan a barcode, set an expiration date, and get a reminder before anything in your fridge or pantry goes bad — so you stop throwing food (and money) away.

Track shelf life across your fridge, freezer, and pantry. See what to eat first, how much money is at risk in the next 36 hours, and how much waste you've cut each month.

KEY FEATURES

• Barcode scanner & grocery tracker — point your camera at a product, and EcoShelf looks it up automatically using the public Open Food Facts database. Name, brand, and category are pre-filled for you.

• Manual entry — no barcode? Add anything in 5 seconds with a name, quantity, and expiry date.

• Expiration date reminder & smart expiry alerts — an optional daily notification reminds you what's about to go bad, so nothing gets forgotten at the back of the fridge.

• "Money at risk" dashboard — see at a glance how much you've spent on items that expire in the next 36 hours.

• Pantry insights — track how much food you've consumed vs. wasted each month, broken down by category.

• Export to CSV — your data stays yours. Export the whole pantry to a spreadsheet anytime, into your Downloads folder.

• Categories that make sense — produce, dairy, meat, pantry staples, frozen, snacks, beverages, and more, with sensible defaults from barcode lookups.

• Light & dark themes — automatic, or pick your preference.

PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN

• Your pantry stays on your device. No accounts. No cloud sync. No tracking pixels.
• No sign-in required — open the app and start using it.
• The only data that leaves your device is the barcode you scan, which is sent to Open Food Facts to look up the product. That's it.
• You can see exactly what's stored and exported at any time.
