Never find a moldy surprise in the back of the fridge.
That yogurt you bought last Tuesday? It's fine for 3 more days. The strawberries? Use them tonight or they're gone. Shelfie tracks freshness for everything in your kitchen and nudges you at the right moment — not when it's already too late. No more opening containers and doing the sniff test.

Common questions
How does Shelfie know when my food expires?
Three ways: it reads expiry dates from packaging during scanning, it estimates freshness based on food type and storage method (bananas on the counter vs. in the fridge), and you can manually adjust dates anytime. Produce gets estimated freshness windows since it doesn't have printed dates.
When do I get expiry alerts?
By default: 3 days before for perishables, 1 week for longer-lasting items. You can customize timing per category. Alerts come as push notifications with a suggested recipe to use the item — not just a "your milk expires soon" warning.
What's the difference between Fresh, Use Soon, and Urgent?
Fresh (green) means 7+ days of life left. Use Soon (yellow) means 3-7 days — time to plan a meal around it. Urgent (red) means 1-3 days — cook it tonight or freeze it. These thresholds adjust based on food type.
Does it track frozen items too?
Yes. Frozen items get longer windows (weeks or months depending on the item), and Shelfie reminds you to defrost with enough lead time for meal planning. It also tracks how long something's been frozen — chicken is fine for 9 months, not 2 years.
Can expiry tracking really save me money?
The average household throws away 32% of purchased food (USDA). Most of it expires before anyone remembers it exists. Tracking expiry dates and following rescue recipe suggestions helps reduce how much gets thrown out — results depend on household size and how actively you use alerts.
