Expiry Date Tracker FAQ
How does ScanMyPantry track expiry dates?
When you scan a food item, ScanMyPantry automatically detects or lets you enter the expiry date. Your inventory is sorted by freshness — items closest to expiry appear first. Push notifications alert you 3 days and 1 day before items expire, so you use them before they go bad.
Does the scanner detect expiry dates from labels?
The AI can read printed expiry dates from food packaging using OCR. For items without printed dates (like produce), you can tap to set a typical shelf life based on the food category. The app learns your preferences over time.
What kinds of expiry dates does it track?
ScanMyPantry tracks best-before dates, use-by dates, sell-by dates, and custom dates for homemade items. You can configure alert thresholds — get notified 7 days, 3 days, or 1 day before expiry. Freezer items get extended shelf-life tracking.
Can I get alerts for multiple items at once?
Yes. The daily freshness digest shows all items expiring soon across your fridge, pantry, and freezer. You get a single notification summarizing what needs attention, rather than getting spammed with individual alerts.
