Pantry Tracker

A pantry tracker that stops food going to waste

Know exactly what you own, where it lives and when it expires — then cook it before it turns.

What Potlikkr's pantry tracker does

Manual inventory is where most pantry apps fail. Potlikkr makes stocking fast and keeps it useful.

Scan instead of typing

Add stock by scanning a barcode, snapping a receipt or photographing your fridge — items, sizes and prices land in your pantry.

Expiry alerts

Get warned before food turns so you can cook it first, and watch a freshness score climb as you use things up.

Low-stock restocking

Staples rebuild on your shopping list automatically, weekly or on demand, so you never run out mid-week.

Locations that make sense

Organise by fridge, freezer, pantry and custom locations so anyone in the household can find and update stock.

How it works

  1. 1
    Add your stock

    Scan barcodes or receipts, or add items by hand with quantity, location and expiry.

  2. 2
    Use it up

    Recipes and alerts surface what's expiring first so food gets cooked, not binned.

  3. 3
    Restock smart

    Low-stock staples flow onto your list with prices, so restocking is one tap.
