FreshFolio – Pantry Manager & Recipe Cookbook

Your pantry knows what you have. Your recipes know what you need. FreshFolio connects them.

Download on the App Store Get it on Google Play

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.

How It Connects

1

Plan

Items running low are suggested for your shopping list, and the Meal Calendar lines up the recipes you want to cook.

2

Buy

Check items off at the store, or scan your receipt (Pro). FreshFolio records what you paid and where.

3

Store

Every purchase gets its own expiration date, in the fridge, freezer, or pantry where you keep it.

4

Cook

What Can I Cook? (Pro) checks your recipes against what you have, amounts included. Cooking removes what you used, soonest-expiring first.

5

Learn

See what you used and what you wasted in dollars, rate the items worth buying again, and ask the Pantry Assistant anything.

Why It's Different

βš–οΈ

Checks Amounts, Not Just Names

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.

πŸ“–

Your Recipes, Your Pantry

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.

⏳

Oldest Food First

Every purchase keeps its own date. When you cook, FreshFolio takes from the one that expires soonest, so less goes to waste.

Receipt Scanning

Pantry Assistant

Ask "what should I use up first?", "what can I cook tonight?" or "what did I pay for coffee?" and get answers from your own pantry. Say "I used 2 eggs" and confirm the change with one tap.

Help the Planet

Food waste is one of the easiest ways to shrink your environmental footprint β€” every meal you cook instead of toss is less food, and money, in a landfill. FreshFolio makes it simple to follow through.

AI on Your Terms

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.

πŸš€ Quick Start Guide

How to Get Started Without Overwhelm

Getting 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 restβ€”no need to type out every detail unless you want to.

🍏

Start with Perishables

Scan your fridge, dairy, and produce first. You'll get instant expiration alerts and AI recipe ideas where they matter most.

πŸ“·

Scan, Don't Type

Point your camera at barcodes to autofill product names and brands, and snap "Best By" dates with the OCR expiration scanner.

πŸ›’

Shop to Put Away

Check items off your Shopping List at the store, or scan your receipt when you get home (Pro), and put the whole trip away in one pass. Receipts get faster every time: FreshFolio learns each store's items.

πŸ“¦

Items vs. Lots

Scan a barcode once to create its reusable blueprint. Future purchases just add a new Lot with its own expiration date!

πŸ”„

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.
