Never let things
quietly expire again

Fraidy keeps every expiry date in your home in one place. Set a date, get a reminder before it is too late, and plan your next shop with the to-buy list. Works with family sharing and photo recognition.

Free · iOS and Android

Why track expiry dates?

You open the fridge and the milk went off yesterday. The cold medicine at the back of the cabinet expired last year. Nobody remembers when that sunscreen was bought. Things rarely spoil in front of you: they expire quietly, and you find out at the moment you need them. Writing the dates down is how you stop relying on memory.

It is not only about food shelf life. Milk and tofu in the fridge, dry goods and tins in the cupboard, painkillers and supplements in the medicine cabinet, the use-by window on opened cosmetics, even contact lens solution all run out on their own schedule. Fraidy keeps them in categories, so what is in the fridge and what is left in the medicine cabinet are one tap away.

Reminders arrive before something expires, while you still have time to use it up rather than throw it out. Anything running low goes on the to-buy list, you shop from it, and ticking an item off moves it straight into your inventory with a fresh expiry date. The whole loop happens in one app instead of on a sticky note.

Everything in your home, before it expires

Expiry reminders, less waste

Set an expiry date for every item and get notified before it is too late, from groceries to medicine.

Inventory and to-buy list

See what you have and how much is left, then add what is running low to your to-buy list.

Family sharing

Share one inventory with your household. Additions and purchases sync instantly, so nobody buys twice.

Add by photo

Snap a product and Fraidy fills in the name and expiry date for you. Less typing, faster entry.

Inside the app

Swipe through the screens. Add in seconds from Home, see inventory by category, move bought items into stock with one tap, and switch photo recognition between on-device and cloud AI.

Home: add in three seconds

Type a name and add it right away, pick a category with one tap, and see what you just added with its days left.

Inventory: grouped by category

Items expiring soon float to the top. Expand a category card to see every item and its days left.

To-buy list: bought, then into stock

Tick an item when bought, then tap "Add to inventory" to set its expiry. The list and your inventory stay separate.

Photo recognition: on-device or cloud AI

Snap a product and the name and expiry date fill in. Recognition runs offline on your phone by default, so photos never leave it; turn on cloud AI in Settings for higher accuracy when online.

Household: one list for the whole family

Invite family with a code. Inventory and the to-buy list sync instantly, so everyone sees who bought what.

Common questions

Is Fraidy free?
Yes, free on both iOS and Android. A few ads keep it running. There is no paid subscription and no feature is locked behind one.
Do I need an account?
No. Tap "Browse as guest" on the sign-in screen and use every feature straight away. Link an email, Google or Apple account later and your data is kept and starts syncing across devices.
Can it track medicine and household items, not just food?
Yes. Categories are fully editable and new households start with Food, Drinks, Household and Medicine. Opened cosmetics, supplements and cleaning supplies all fit, not just what is in the fridge.
Does photo recognition upload my photos?
By default recognition runs offline on your phone and the photo never leaves the device. Turning on "Use cloud AI recognition" in Settings sends it to our server for a more accurate read, and you can switch that off at any time.
When do expiry reminders arrive?
With reminders on, the app checks every morning and notifies you 1 to 3 days before an item expires, on the day itself, and once after it has expired. The in-app "Expiring soon" list covers the next 7 days.
Can my family share one list?
Yes. Create a household, and an admin generates a 6-character invite code valid for 7 days. Inventory and the to-buy list sync instantly, so everyone sees who bought what.
