Your pantry knows what you have. Your recipes know what you need. FreshFolio connects them.
Most pantry apps tell you what you have, but not what you can cook. Most recipe apps tell you what you need, but not whether you have it. FreshFolio does both, in one app. It tracks what's in your fridge, freezer, and cupboards, checks your recipes against it, and keeps your pantry up to date when you shop and when you cook. Share it with your household to stop buying duplicates and waste less food.
Items running low are suggested for your shopping list, and the Meal Calendar lines up the recipes you want to cook.
Check items off at the store, or scan your receipt (Pro). FreshFolio records what you paid and where.
Every purchase gets its own expiration date, in the fridge, freezer, or pantry where you keep it.
What Can I Cook? (Pro) checks your recipes against what you have, amounts included. Cooking removes what you used, soonest-expiring first.
See what you used and what you wasted in dollars, rate the items worth buying again, and ask the Pantry Assistant anything.
A recipe that needs 2 cups of milk is checked against the milk you actually have, not just whether you have milk. When FreshFolio can't be sure, it tells you.
Import recipes from major recipe sites and food blogs into your own cookbook. On Pro, FreshFolio matches them to your pantry, and you can send what's missing to your shopping list.
Every purchase keeps its own date. When you cook, FreshFolio takes from the one that expires soonest, so less goes to waste.

FreshFolio asks before any AI feature sends your data, names its AI providers, and keeps one AI features switch in Settings. Barcode lookups and search work either way.
What AI features send βGetting started with FreshFolio should feel effortless, not like a weekend chore! Don't try to pull everything out of your cupboards to log your entire kitchen on Day 1. Instead, start small with the items that spoil quickest, and let our smart defaults handle the restβno need to type out every detail unless you want to.

Why Put Away comes first: every item you add teaches FreshFolio your habits. The fuller your pantry, the smarter your Shopping List gets at catching what's low, and the more your AI Recipes have to work with β so build it up before you lean on either.
