Every year the average household throws away hundreds of dollars of food, one forgotten package at a time. Shelf Life fixes the forgetting.
Track what you actually own. Add groceries in seconds — type them, scan a barcode, or (with Pro) scan the whole receipt at once. Shelf Life estimates how long everything keeps in the fridge, freezer or pantry, using a built-in database of 150+ common foods with conservative, food-safety-first estimates.
See what needs eating, instantly. Your kitchen at a glance, sorted by urgency: what's expired, what dies today or tomorrow, what can wait. Color-coded, filterable by fridge, freezer and pantry.
Get one useful nudge, not spam. A single daily digest tells you what needs attention — never a notification per item.
Cook the rescue dinner. "Cook tonight" turns your expiring items into simple 30-minute dinner ideas that use up exactly what's about to go to waste.
Private by design. Receipt and barcode scanning run entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your inventory syncs to your own iCloud.
Shelf Life Pro (subscription, 2-week free trial):
- Receipt scanning — add a full shopping trip in seconds
- Unlimited tracked items (free tier tracks 20)
- Share your subscription with your Apple Family Sharing group
Free plan: manual + barcode adding, 20 tracked items, all reminders and cook-tonight ideas.
Shelf-life estimates are conservative guidelines, not guarantees — always check the printed date and use your senses.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Safety update for stored-food guidance:
• Opened deli meats (ham, cold cuts) now show the correct 3-day fridge window instead of the sealed-package 14 days
• Gravlaks (cured salmon) gets its own conservative 3-day estimate, separate from vacuum-packed smoked salmon
• All high-risk food estimates are now locked by automated safety checks against USDA/FDA guidance
As always: estimates are guidelines, not guarantees — the date on the package wins.
