Smart Pantry by Noxe Open Smart Pantry

Know what's in the fridge. Cook it before it goes off.

Smart Pantry keeps track of your kitchen for you. Say what you bought and used, like a text message. It remembers the dates, shows what to eat first, and finds a meal from what you have.

Free. No account. Works without internet.

The Kitchen screen: chicken to use by Friday, then everything in the fridge with its good-until date.

Say what happened. See what changes.

This is the real thing, running on this page. Your kitchen below is made up, and nothing you type is saved anywhere.

    Demo only. In the app you press Save and every change has Undo.

    How it works

    Tell it in a sentence

    Type it, or tap the microphone and say it. "Bought a dozen eggs, used the last of the milk." The app shows exactly what will change before it saves anything. Made a mistake? Undo.

    A sentence typed in the Kitchen box, with the three changes it would make listed underneath and a Save button.

    It knows the dates

    Every food gets a use-by date filled in for you, based on where you keep it. Chicken in the fridge is a few days. Chicken in the freezer is months. Move it to the freezer and the date moves too. Anything running out of time goes to the top of the list.

    Filled in from a table of 170 common foods. You can change any date.

    Cook from what you have, then shop for the gaps

    Cook shows meals you can make right now, with the food that's going off first. If you're missing one thing, add it to the list in a tap. Press "I made this" and the ingredients come out of your kitchen. The shopping list is sorted by aisle. Tick things off in the store, then press Put away to fill the kitchen again with fresh dates.

    Why we made it

    We kept throwing food away. Not because we didn't want it, but because we forgot it was there until it was past its date.

    So we built something that remembers for us. It tells you what to use first, and finds a meal that uses it up before it goes off.

    Your food list stays on your phone

    There's no account to make and no server holding your list. Everything you add is saved on your own phone, and the app keeps working with no signal. The only time it goes online is a barcode lookup, which asks a public food database about that one product. We don't have a way to see what's in your kitchen, and we don't want one.

    Put it on your home screen

    It then opens like any other app, with its own icon.

    iPhone

    1. Open Smart Pantry in Safari.
    2. Tap the Share button, the square with an arrow pointing up.
    3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
    4. Tap Add.

    Android

    1. Open Smart Pantry in Chrome.
    2. Tap the three dots at the top right.
    3. Tap Add to Home screen or Install app.
    4. Tap Install.

    Apps for iPhone and Android are coming. We're building them now. They'll do everything this does, with the phone's own camera and microphone. Until then, the version on your home screen is the real app, and what you've saved will be there when the apps arrive.

    Questions people ask

    Does it cost anything?

    No. It's free, and there's nothing to sign up for.

    What if I lose my phone or get a new one?

    Your list lives on your phone, so save a copy now and then. In the app, open More and choose to save a copy as a file. Open that file on the new phone and your kitchen comes back.

    Can two people in the house share one kitchen?

    Not yet. Sharing between phones needs a small online service, and we haven't built it. For now you can send the shopping list as a text.

    Does it really work with no internet?

    Yes. Once you've opened it once, everything works offline: adding food, dates, recipes and the shopping list. Only the barcode lookup needs a signal.

    What if it gets a sentence wrong?

    You see every change before it's saved, and you can leave out any line. If it doesn't understand something, it tells you which part. After saving there's an Undo button, and you can always change an amount by hand.

    Is it really not AI?

    Right. It reads your sentence with fixed rules that run on your phone. That's why it's instant, works offline, and gives the same answer every time.
