Pantry First keeps one simple list of the food in your fridge, freezer and cupboards, sorted so whatever runs out of time first is at the top. Mark things used or wasted as they go, and see how much food you throw away each week. No account and no sign in.

How it works

Pantry First in 5 steps

Real screens from the app, filled with example data.

  1. Use the right food first
    1

    Use the right food first

    One list of your fridge, freezer and pantry, sorted by date with the soonest at the top. In the example, 1 item is past its date and 1 should be used today.

  2. Add food in a few taps

    Add food in a few taps

    Type a name, pick where it goes and choose a date. For raw chicken the app offers the FoodSafety.gov chart time. In the example, that is 1 to 2 days in the fridge.

  3. Freeze it and get a new date
    3

    Freeze it and get a new date

    Move an item from the fridge to the freezer and the date follows the chart. In the example, chicken thighs frozen today get 9 months.

  4. See what you threw away

    See what you threw away

    Mark each item used or wasted as it leaves the list. The Waste tab counts this week from Monday, with the share wasted and what it cost.

  5. Compare the last four weeks

    Compare the last four weeks

    Each week shows what was used and wasted, with the money from the costs you typed. In the example, last week 3 items were wasted, worth $7.48.

What it does

Everything in one place

Use First, always at the top

Every item shows how many days it has left, and anything past its date or due today stands out. Filter by fridge, freezer or pantry with one tap.

Quick Add in seconds

Type a name, pick where it goes and choose a date from the pack or a quick pick such as 3 days, 1 week or 3 months. Things you buy often come back as one tap Add again buttons.

Chart times for meat, fish and leftovers

For raw meat, poultry, fish, eggs, deli meat, soups and leftovers, Quick add offers the time from the FoodSafety.gov cold food storage chart and uses the short end of its range.

Move it to the freezer

Change an item from the fridge to the freezer and Pantry First suggests a new date from the chart, so the chicken you froze today is not flagged tomorrow.

Used or Wasted

When something leaves the list, tap Used or Wasted. Made a mistake? Undo puts it back.

Your weekly waste

See this week's used and wasted items, the share wasted and the money it cost, plus the last four weeks side by side.

Use soon reminders

Turn on a reminder at 9 am the day before an item's date, so nothing is forgotten at the back of the fridge.

Your list and log are stored only on this device. Try the example kitchen first, then clear it in one tap.
