Fridoo
Reduce food waste, save money
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Fridoo helps you track what's in your fridge, freezer and pantry so nothing expires unnoticed. A focused, minimal tracker that keeps your food visible — no account, no ads, no data harvesting.
PAY ONCE. USE FOREVER.
No subscription. No monthly fees. No ads. You pay once when you buy Fridoo and you get it — including all future updates — for good. The way apps used to work.
WHAT FRIDOO DOES FOR YOU
• Barcode scanner: add products in seconds — name and category are filled in automatically
• All your items in one place with quantity, category and location
• Color-coded freshness indicators: what's fresh, expiring soon, or already expired
• Push reminders 14 days, 1 week, 3 days, or 1 day before expiry — you choose the intervals
• Swipe gestures to mark items as consumed or wasted in a single move
• Dashboard with totals, upcoming expirations and consumption stats
WHY FRIDOO?
Most pantry apps demand a subscription, an account, or ship your data off to a cloud. Fridoo takes the opposite approach:
• One-time purchase — no subscription, no hidden costs
• 100% offline out of the box — no sign-up, no profile
• iCloud sync is strictly optional and runs through your own Apple Account — across your own devices, not between different people
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking of any kind
• Works on iPhone and iPad with automatic sync
• Four languages (English, German, Spanish, French) with live in-app switching
CATEGORIES AND LOCATIONS
Fridoo ships with 13 food categories — from dairy, produce and meat to fish, bakery, beverages, frozen items, condiments, snacks and more. Three storage locations cover day-to-day life: fridge, freezer, pantry.
BARCODE SCANNER
Scan instead of type. Point your camera at the barcode — Fridoo identifies the product, fills in the name and category automatically and jumps straight to the expiry date prompt. Product data comes from the open OpenFoodFacts database. Only the barcode is sent, nothing about you. Already-scanned products are cached locally, so they work instantly even when offline.
NOTIFICATIONS ON YOUR TERMS
You decide when Fridoo reminds you. Pick any combination of intervals (14 days, 1 week, 3 days, 1 day before expiry) and set the hour of day the app notifies you. All reminders are scheduled locally on your device — nothing ever leaves your iPhone.
WASTE AND CONSUMPTION TRACKING
Mark items as consumed or wasted with a swipe. Fridoo calculates your consumption ratio so you can see at a glance how much of what you buy actually gets eaten — and where the waste is.
DARK MODE AND INSTANT LANGUAGE SWITCHING
Light and dark appearance modes, plus follow-the-system option. Switch languages anytime in Settings without restarting the app.
PRIVACY FIRST
Fridoo is a local app. There is no Fridoo server, no account, no tracking. If you turn on iCloud sync, your data travels encrypted through your own private iCloud account — and only then. Otherwise everything stays on your device.
IMPORT AND EXPORT
Your data belongs to you. Export every item as a JSON file with one tap — for backup or when moving to a new device. Import is just as simple.
WHO IS FRIDOO FOR?
• Households that want to throw away less food
• Bulk-shoppers and meal preppers
• Anyone who wants the same overview on iPhone and iPad
• Anyone tired of signing up for yet another cloud app
Cut your food waste, save money, and keep your kitchen under control.
Download Fridoo and get started in under a minute.
