FreshOwl reads the expiry date off your groceries in about five seconds, then sends one quiet reminder a day — before the date, not after.
No spam, one email when it launches. Unsubscribe any time.

People stop using them because typing in every item is more work than the food is worth. So FreshOwl's whole design starts from one number: five seconds, from opening the app to the item being saved.
Scan the barcode and FreshOwl fills in the product. Point at the printed date and it reads it. You see exactly what it read, big and editable — so if it's wrong, you fix it in one tap.
When there's no date to read, FreshOwl estimates one from typical shelf-life data and tells you it's an estimate. It never quietly guesses.

Not one per item. Not a badge that climbs into the dozens. One summary at the time you choose, with the things closest to their date at the top.
Mark something used, snooze it, or note it as thrown away — straight from the lock screen, without opening the app.

Every item you mark as used adds to a running total of what you didn't throw away. No streaks, no guilt, nothing that punishes you for going on holiday.
A short weekly note from the owl on Sundays, and that's it.

You'll never see a sign-up screen, because there isn't one.
No email, no password, no "continue with" anything. Open the app and start.
Your items live on your iPhone. Photos you scan are read on the device and aren't uploaded.
No ads, no data brokers, no tracking across other apps. The app is paid for by the people who choose to pay for it.
The free tier isn't a trial. It's the app.
Monthly is €1.99. Prices shown for Germany and may vary by country.
One email when FreshOwl reaches the App Store. Nothing else.
