Food Expiry Tracker · Free Android App
Never let food expire unnoticed again
Expireless tracks expiry dates for everything in your fridge, freezer, and pantry — and alerts you every morning before food goes bad. The average US household throws away $1,500 in food per year. Most of it is preventable.
Expiry date tracking
Every item. Every location. Always sorted by urgency.
Expireless keeps a live inventory of your fridge, freezer, and pantry. Every item shows its expiry date and how many days remain. The most urgent items sit at the top — you see what needs to be used first before you open any door.
- Separate views for fridge, freezer, pantry, and medicine cabinet
- Color-coded urgency: red for today, amber for this week, green for later
- Items sorted by expiry automatically — most urgent always at the top
- Search and filter by category or location

Food expiry tracker FAQ
How does Expireless know the expiry date if I didn't enter it?
Expireless uses category-based shelf life defaults built from standard food safety guidelines — over 200 food categories covered. Fresh chicken gets 3 days, milk 7 days, Greek yogurt 14 days, canned goods 2 years. When you add an item, the right default is applied automatically. Any date can be changed with one tap before you save.
Can I set different alert thresholds for meat versus produce?
Yes. You can configure thresholds per category or per storage location. Set 2-day warnings for meat and fish, 5-day warnings for produce, and 14-day warnings for pantry items. Each category is configured independently so you only get alerts when they're actually useful.
What happens when I use or throw away an item?
Swipe the item in your inventory and tap Used or Discarded. It's removed from the active inventory and logged. The finance dashboard shows your discard rate and estimated value lost over time — useful for tracking whether your habits are improving.
Does it work for freezer items with much longer shelf lives?
Yes. The freezer has its own inventory tab with category defaults tuned for frozen storage: frozen chicken 3 months, ground beef 4 months, frozen vegetables 8 months, ice cream 2 months. Items in the freezer are tracked separately so they don't clutter your fridge view.
Can I see a history of everything I've thrown away?
Yes, in the finance dashboard (Pro feature). It logs every item marked as discarded with the date and estimated value, broken down by category and week. You can see which categories are costing you the most in food waste and whether you're trending better or worse month-over-month.
