The problem

A household of four can lose about $2,913 in food each year.

Mostly produce in the back of the fridge. Mostly things you meant to use. Mostly because nobody can remember what's actually in the kitchen.

How it works

One small loop, every week.

Scan it in. See what's expiring. Cook around it. Watch the savings stack up. That's the whole product.

01 · Scan

Add groceries by scanning, not typing.

Point your phone at a barcode while you unpack. When a supported product is found, FreshTrack can prefill its name and category, then suggest a freshness date for you to review.

  • Works across phones and browsers, with the camera or by typing the number.
  • Looks up product details in Open Food Facts, with a name-only fallback.
  • Manual entry stays available when a barcode is missing or unknown.
  • Suggested dates are a starting point you can adjust before saving.

Hold steady — reading the barcode

02 · See

See what needs using, not a list of everything.

The dashboard opens to items that are about to expire, sorted by urgency. Spinach today, yogurt tomorrow, the salmon you forgot. The rest of your pantry stays out of the way.

  • Per-item freshness pills: use today, two days left, three days left.
  • Add items in seconds while unpacking groceries.
  • Works on phone and desktop. Installs as a home-screen app, no app store.

03 · Cook

Cook around what’s expiring, not what’s trending.

The dashboard surfaces recipes matched to items expiring within five days. When you want to browse, Recipe Dive lets you search the whole catalog and filter by cuisine, category, or cook time — still ranked by how many of your expiring ingredients each one uses.

  • Use-it-up matching across produce, dairy, proteins, and pantry staples.
  • Recipe Dive: search and filter the full catalog, sorted by best match.
  • Real food photography, prep and cook times, serving counts.
