Shelfy - Food Tracker
Smart Food Tracking
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Shelfy keeps track of what's in your pantry — and now of what ends up on your plate.
Scan the barcode, add the expiry date, done. Shelfy reminds you before anything goes off, suggests recipes from what you already have, and keeps a full nutrition diary if you want one. Without typing anything twice: the nutrition data comes along with the scan anyway.
Your pantry, without the work • Scan barcodes instead of typing — name, image and nutrition facts fill themselves in • Capture expiry dates with the camera or add them in seconds • Reminders before things expire — you decide how early • Sorted by category, with a freshness score at a glance
Nutrition diary • Pick your portion in grams — Shelfy converts per-100 g values to what you actually ate • Quick picks from the product's own serving and package sizes • Calorie ring with a daily goal, macro bars for protein, carbs and fat • Grouped by meal, with a recents list for the things you eat often • Works for food outside your pantry too: scan it or enter it by hand • Optionally record vitamins and minerals when the data is available • CSV export — your data stays yours
Apple Health • Logged nutrients go straight to Apple Health • Shelfy can read your burned calories and raise your daily goal accordingly • Meals you log in other apps can count towards your day
How healthy is this? • Nutri-Score and NOVA processing level right after the scan • Additives spelled out in plain language instead of E-numbers, with context • Allergens and vegetarian labelling
Recipes from your pantry • Suggestions built from what you have — favouring what expires soonest • Staples like salt, oil and flour count as available • Filters for vegetarian and for allergens you avoid • Missing ingredients go to your shopping list with one tap
Shopping and sharing • A shopping list that fills itself from recipes and from what ran out • Share a household over iCloud — everyone sees the same pantry • Record prices and follow how they change • Optionally share prices anonymously with the community; switching it off withdraws what you already shared
Your data Shelfy has no user account. Your pantry and your diary live on your device, household sharing runs through your own private iCloud. Community prices are sent with nothing that points back to you — and only if you turn that on.
Product data comes from Open Food Facts.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Scan receipts – Snap a photo of your receipt and Shelfy adds every food item with purchase date, price and estimated shelf life. Migros, Coop and Lidl Switzerland are read in full; all other stores in beta. More stores and countries will be added soon.
Nutrition without a barcode – For vegetables, meat and fresh produce, the Swiss Food Composition Database provides an estimate, in English and German, clearly marked as such.
Search products – No barcode at hand? Search Open Food Facts by name or brand.
Add a barcode later – Link receipt items to their barcode whenever you like. Shelfy remembers the match.
New look – Calmer colours, more depth, the same cards and titles everywhere. In dark mode too.
Community prices – Receipt prices with a barcode feed the anonymous price comparison, if you choose. In your currency.
