How to Use the Pantry Tracker

Know what's already in the house before you shop for more.

Pantry tracks food you already have at home, separately from your shopping list — useful for catching things before they expire and for feeding ingredients into What to Cook.

Step by step

1
Add an item
Enter a name, choose a category, and optionally set an expiry date, then save it.
2
Search and filter
Use the search box or the category filter to narrow a long pantry down to what you're looking for.
3
Watch the expiry labels
Items with an expiry date show "Expires in N days" as that date approaches, and switch to "Expired" once it passes.
4
Edit or remove an item
Update the quantity, category or expiry date on any item, or delete it once it's gone.

Tips

Set an expiry date on anything perishable when you add it — that's what powers the "expiring soon" warning; items without a date never show one.
Use the category filter to do a quick pantry check by section (e.g. just the freezer or just spices) instead of scrolling the whole list.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pantry the same list as Grocery?

No — Pantry is what you already have at home; Grocery is your shopping list. They're tracked separately.

What happens when an item expires?

It's labelled "Expired" in the list — it isn't removed automatically, so you can still see and clear it yourself.
