About Useby: Food Expiry Scanner
Useby helps you keep track of food expiry dates with one simple flow: take a photo, confirm the use-by date, and save it locally. No accounts. No cloud. No clutter. Useby reads packaging photos on your iPhone and helps you organize what should be used first. It is designed for people who want a clean, private, minimal way to avoid forgotten food in the fridge or pantry. What you can do with Useby: • Scan food packaging photos • Detect product names and expiry dates • Confirm or edit every result before saving • Sort items by what expires soonest • Organize food by category • Add reminders before food expires • Keep everything stored locally on your iPhone Useby is built around a simple idea: know what goes first. The app is local-first by design. Your scans and saved food items stay on your device. There is no account system, no backend, and no cloud database for your food list. Useby is not a recipe app, grocery delivery app, or meal planner. It is a focused expiry scanner for people who want less waste, fewer forgotten packages, and a calmer way to manage food dates.
