Track every shelf life. Waste nothing.
Stop letting food spoil in the fridge, medicine expire in the drawer, or cosmetics go bad on the shelf. Register each item once and a reminder lands at the exact time you set — before anything is wasted. No sign-up, no login. Your data lives only on your device.
■ Who is it for
- One-person households who lose track of what is in the fridge
- Busy parents juggling family supplements, prescriptions, and pantry stock
- Anyone tracking the post-opening shelf life (PAO) of cosmetics — mascara, cream, essence
- People on long-term vitamins, probiotics, or prescription refills
- Hosts who want to use up leftover ingredients after a party or camping trip
- Anyone who tried memo apps or calendars and missed an alert at least once
■ Key features
• Camera OCR auto-detection
Point the camera at the "use-by" or "expiration date" printed on the packaging — the App reads it for you. Photos from the library work too. Every recognized date passes through a confirmation step, so smudged ink, handwriting, or odd date formats can be fixed in one tap before saving.
• Fast manual entry
Enter name, category, expiration date, purchase date, memo, and icon on one screen. A reminder is scheduled the moment you save — no second checklist to confirm.
• 12 built-in categories
Milk, eggs, bread, meat, vegetables, fruit, drinks, canned goods, medicine, cosmetics, cleaning supplies, and "other." Each has its own icon and color, so a quick scroll tells you which group is about to expire.
• D-day countdown
Every item shows days remaining as D-7, D-3, D-1, D-DAY, or D+2. Items nearing expiration are color-highlighted, and the list stays sorted by urgency even with 100+ items.
• Flexible reminders
Toggle 7-day, 1-day, and same-day reminders on or off. Set a custom reminder time per item — "medicine at 8 AM, cosmetics at 9 PM" — so reminders fit your routine and never feel like spam.
• 100% local storage — no account required
All items, photos, OCR output, and notification settings are stored on-device. Nothing is sent to external servers, and everything is deleted when you uninstall the App. Aside from the advertising identifier, no personal data is collected.
• Multi-language and dark mode
Korean and English with light and dark themes. Follows your system setting automatically, or you can override it.
■ How is it different?
Memo apps and calendars are great for recording but expect you to actively check what is about to expire. Expiration Alarm is built for noticing things in time — fire-and-forget once you register an item — and OCR shrinks data entry from 30 seconds per item down to 5. Food thrown out, supplements gone bad, and cosmetics past PAO can quietly cost hundreds of dollars a year. This is the tool focused on stopping that loss.
■ Real-world scenarios
- After a grocery run, scan milk, yogurt, and meat one after another. Five minutes covers a week.
- When a supplement subscription arrives, OCR the whole box and get a reminder a week before it runs out.
- On opening a new cosmetic, enter the PAO (12M / 6M) shown on the jar so you finish it before it spoils.
- When sorting your medicine cabinet, capture the tiny expiration dates on each bottle in one session.
■ Permissions
- Camera: used only for OCR of expiration date text on packaging.
- Notifications: used only to deliver reminders before items expire.
- Camera frames and OCR results are processed entirely on-device and never leave the device.
