Why ShelfLife

Stay on top of your kitchen

Track what you have, use it before it expires, and plan what to cook and buy next.

Your pantry at a glance

Track quantities, categories and expiration dates for what you buy. Everything is sorted by what needs using first, so you can find things fast.

See what expires next

Days-left badges and an Expiring Soon list show what to use first. Turn on reminders and choose how many days before a date you want to hear about it.

Meal ideas from what you have

Generate recipe suggestions on your device from your actual pantry, ranked by ingredient match and what's expiring soon. Set dietary preferences and save favorites.

Recipe generation requires Apple Intelligence and iOS/iPadOS 26 or later.

Check quantities before you cook

Review the ingredients a recipe uses before confirming you cooked it, and ShelfLife deducts those quantities from your pantry.

One organized shopping list

A single categorized list suggests what you're running low on or about to run out of. Check an item off and optionally add it straight back to your pantry.

Synced across iPhone and iPad

Sign in with Apple or Google on each device to keep your pantry, shopping list, saved recipes, preferences and cooking history together.
