Pantry Queue: Expiry Dates

Pantry Queue organizes separate food batches by the package dates you enter and confirm. Track quantities across your pantry, fridge, freezer, counter, and custom storage places, then see batches in date order.

Fast batch entry
- Choose from 80 generic food shortcuts or enter a custom product name.
- Keep multiple batches of the same product with separate quantities, storage places, opened dates, and printed dates.
- Organize products with 12 categories and 10 measurement units.
- Search local inventory and edit one batch without changing its siblings.

Confirm package dates yourself
- Enter a printed date manually at any time.
- Choose a package-label image with Android's Photo Picker.
- Use the bundled on-device text recognizer to find numeric or English date candidates.
- Review ambiguous date orders, add a missing year, choose the printed date type, and explicitly confirm before saving.
- Continue with manual entry if no usable candidate is found.

Use-first queue
- See separate batches grouped as Past labeled date, Today, Next 3 days, Next 7 days, Later, or No date.
- Use Consume one to reduce only the selected batch.
- Restore the same quantity and batch with Undo.
- Review local totals by storage place.

Local and portable
Products, dates, selected image previews, and use history stay on the device. The selected image is read through the system Photo Picker for the current editor and is not uploaded. Pantry Queue includes Google ML Kit's bundled text-recognition model, runs recognition on device, and has no internet permission. There is no account, cloud sync, advertising, analytics, billing, or broad photo-library permission.

Export a versioned JSON backup to a document location you choose. Imported backups are checked and shown for confirmation before replacing local records.

Package dates are labels, not food-safety decisions
Pantry Queue records and sorts the dates you enter. It does not determine whether food is safe, fresh, spoiled, or suitable to eat. Follow package instructions and use your own judgment.
