Most food doesn’t go off because nobody wanted it. It goes off because nobody remembered it was there.
How it worksFive screens.
Five screens.
One loop.
Add what you buy, see what needs using, cook it, and put the rest on the list. That’s the loop.
Every item knows its date.
Each item has a category, an expiry date and a colour that changes as the date gets closer. Storage tips tell you whether it belongs in the fridge, the freezer or the pantry.
One photo instead of ten entries.
Photograph your receipt and FridgeLoop’s AI reads the items and suggests expiry dates. You review the list before anything is added. Single items are just as quick with the barcode scanner.
The list that remembers.
Write down what’s missing, tick it off in the shop and pick favourites again from your history. Ingredients from a recipe go onto the list with one tap.
Cook with what you have.
FridgeLoop suggests recipes built around the items that expire first — with servings, difficulty and cooking time. Always check ingredients and allergens yourself.

Watch the week go by.
Move the slider to jump ahead in time. FridgeLoop uses the same thresholds as here: three days or less is “use soon”, up to a week is “this week”.

FAQ
Questions & answers
What is FridgeLoop?
An iPhone app that keeps track of the food you have at home and when it expires. It reminds you before food goes off, suggests recipes from what you have and keeps a shopping list.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone with iOS 18.2 or later. The Home Screen widget needs iOS 26.2 or later. There is no Android version.
Do I need an account?
Yes. You sign in with your email address and a password so your items, recipes and shopping list are stored and synced in your account.
How do expiry reminders work?
Every item has an expiry date. FridgeLoop colours items by how much time is left and can send you a notification a set number of days before the date. You choose the lead time in Settings.
How does the receipt scan work?
You take a photo of a receipt. The photo is sent to our server and analysed by OpenAI, which reads the items and suggests expiry dates. You review the list before anything is added.
Can I rely on the AI recipes?
They are suggestions. Check ingredients, allergens and whether food is still good yourself — FridgeLoop can’t see your food.
What happens to my data?
Your data is stored in your account. Barcode numbers go to Open Food Facts, receipt photos and item names for recipes go to OpenAI. There is no advertising tracking. Details are in the privacy policy.
How do I delete my account?
In the app under You → Settings → Delete account. This removes your account together with your items, recipes and shopping list.
Which languages are available?
FridgeLoop is available in 22 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Chinese (Simplified).
