Pantry Inventory & Food Expiry

Larder is a simple pantry inventory for your home: scan your groceries, see what’s in the fridge, freezer and pantry at a glance, and get a reminder before food expires. No account, no ads, no subscription.

WHY LARDER
• Free with no scan limits. Scanning, product lookups, expiry reminders and the shopping list are free and unlimited. The free version holds up to 75 items in stock at a time, and items you use up free their spot.
• One-time Pro, never a subscription. $3.99 once unlocks unlimited items, more households and CSV export.
• No account and nothing to sign into. Your inventory lives on your phone and works offline.
• You decide where things go. Larder never moves your items around.

SCAN OR TYPE, YOUR CHOICE
• Barcode scanner built in. Barcodes are read on the phone. Product names and brands come from Open Food Facts, the open food database.
• Unknown product? Type the name once and Larder remembers that barcode on your phone for next time.
• Shop’s own codes (deli, bakery, weighed goods) are recognised and never looked up, so you won’t get a random product from another shop.
• Only the name is required. Quick expiry buttons (+3 days, +1 week, +1 month, +6 months) or pick a date.
• Save & scan next: unpack a whole grocery bag in a minute.

A FOOD EXPIRATION TRACKER THAT UNDERSTANDS OPENED JARS
• Every item gets a clear label: Fresh, Use soon or Expired, always with an icon and words, not colour alone.
• Opened date plus “use within N days after opening”. Larder uses whichever date comes first, so an opened jar of pesto isn’t “fresh” for eight months.
• The Use soon tab lists everything expired, due today or due in the next few days.
• Move to the freezer in one tap when you won’t get to something in time.

REMINDERS AT THE TIME YOU CHOOSE
• One daily summary, or a notification per item.
• Pick how many days before expiry (1–14) and the time of day.
• Tap the reminder to open your use-soon list.

FRIDGE, FREEZER, PANTRY, AND YOUR OWN SHELVES
• Locations tabs for Fridge, Freezer and Pantry, plus your own: Spice rack, Cellar, Garage shelf. Custom locations are free.
• Search everything by name, brand, notes or barcode, in any word order.
• Sort by use-by date, name or recently added.
• Units that make sense: each, packs, g, kg, ml, l, oz and lb. Tap −1 when you use one.

SHOPPING LIST THAT RESTOCKS YOUR SHELVES
• Mark an item as used up and it goes onto the shopping list, remembering where it lives.
• Tick things off in the shop, then put them away into the right location. Larder dates them with how long they kept last time.
• Share the list as plain text to any messaging app.

GROCERY INVENTORY FOR THE WHOLE HOME (PRO)
• More households, each with its own shelves and shopping list: home, holiday cabin, office kitchen.
• Export your home inventory to CSV for Excel or Google Sheets.

YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU
• No cloud sync and no account. Everything is stored on this phone.
• Moving to a new phone or sharing with family? Save a backup file (free) and restore it on the other phone.
• The only thing that ever leaves your phone is a barcode number you look up, sent to Open Food Facts.
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
