Shelf. – Expiry Date Tracker

Shelf remembers what you put away, so you don't have to.

Snap a photo, scan a barcode, or import a store receipt for anything you bring home — milk, leftovers, or the jar at the back of the cupboard. Shelf reads the label or receipt, finds the expiry date, and files it on the right shelf. Then it tells you what to consume first.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Snap, Scan, or Import Receipt. Scan a barcode for instant product details and nutrition facts, snap a photo of the packaging, or import a receipt (photo, screenshot, or PDF) to log multiple groceries at once.
2. It reads. On-device recognition pulls the best-before date off the label, itemizes receipts, and can even name loose fruit and vegetables — then suggests the right shelf.
3. You confirm. Name, date, and shelf come pre-filled — split multi-packs to assign different expiry dates, and save in seconds.

Prefer manual? You can add everything by hand — the shelves work exactly the same.

YOUR SHELVES, AT A GLANCE
• Fridge, Freezer, Fruit Bowl, Spice Shelf, and Pantry ready out of the box, plus any custom shelf you create
• "Consume first" ranks everything by expiry — this week, in two weeks, this month
• Every item carries a day counter — 2 days, 14 days, 73 days
• Things age on screen: the longer something sits, the more its photo fades, so you can see what needs attention in a glance
• Home Screen Widget: Check what's expiring soon and add groceries without opening the app

SMART SHOPPING & RESTOCK
• When an item is finished, send it straight to your shopping list with a tap
• Once you've shopped, restock items back onto their original shelves in one tap

RECEIPT SCANNER & BATCH IMPORT
• Scan paper receipts or import screenshots and PDF receipts from shopping apps
• Smart text recognition extracts product names, prices, and quantities while ignoring store noise
• Split duplicate items (2x, 3x, 5x) to track independent expiry dates and shelf locations for each unit
• Batch review checklist and step-by-step mode for rapid stock-in
• Link scanned receipt items to Open Food Facts for instant nutrition details and Nutri-Score

MORE THAN A FRIDGE
• Nutrition & Nutri-Score: Check calories, protein, carbs, fat, and official Nutri-Score ratings on barcode-scanned groceries
• Track anything with a date: groceries, sauces, tea, supplements, cosmetics, cleaning products
• Duplicate items (+1) when stocking up on multiples, or quickly extend shelf life (+3d, +1w, +1m)
• Search by name or by tag — "dairy", "leftovers", "frozen"
• Food Preservation Stats: Track your monthly rescue rate (%), zero-waste streaks, and estimated money saved
• Move items between shelves, tick them off when used, and see your history
• Customizable expiry reminders so nothing quietly goes off at the back
