An expiration date tracker that doesn't rely on your memory

FridgeSpy assigns, tracks, and alerts on expiration dates across every item you own — so 'I forgot it was in there' stops happening.

What is an expiration date tracker?

An expiration date tracker records when perishable items become unsafe or lower-quality to eat, and alerts you as that date approaches. FridgeSpy pairs date tracking with full inventory management so the dates are attached to items you're already logging, not a separate list.

The problem
  • Keeping a separate mental (or paper) list of expiration dates is its own chore
  • Best-by, use-by, and sell-by dates are confusing and inconsistently printed
  • By the time you notice a date has passed, the food is already unusable
How FridgeSpy solves it
Dates live with the item, not a separate list
Every item in your FridgeSpy inventory carries its own expiry date, so there's no second system to maintain.
Sorted by urgency automatically
The Use Soon view ranks items by how close they are to their expiry date, so priority is obvious at a glance.
Recipes use the closest dates first
When FridgeSpy suggests a recipe or you cook one, it draws from soonest-expiring stock first — closing the loop between tracking and actually using the food.

Frequently asked
Does it distinguish between use-by, best-by, and sell-by dates?

FridgeSpy tracks a single practical expiry estimate per item rather than replicating every label variant, since most households act on one date regardless of the label wording.

Can I see everything close to expiring in one place?

Yes, the Use Soon / alerts view lists items ranked by urgency across your whole inventory.

What if I cook something before it expires?

Mark the recipe as cooked and FridgeSpy deducts the ingredients used from your inventory automatically, including anything close to its date.

Is this free to use?

Yes, tracking and expiry alerts are available on the free plan, which includes 100 tracked items and 15 AI scans per month.
