The app never invents a use-by date. If a date is a guess from typical shelf life, it says so.
A kitchen helper
in your pocket.
Scan it. Pick it. Chef it.
Scan your fridge, freezer and pantry with the Use It Fresh app to create a complete inventory of the groceries you have at home, use-by dates and all.
Use It Fresh then recommends personalised recipes based on what you already have and your preferences and dietary requirements, prioritising ingredients closest to expiry.
No more guessing what you have, penning shopping lists or staring into the fridge at dinner time.
Use what you have, waste less, and eat a little better every day.
For iPhone and Android. Made in Australia.

-
Chef it.
Dinner ideas from exactly what you have tonight, led by whatever is closest to its date.
Food waste
The food we buy and never eat.
Most of it isn't careless. It's the spinach at the back, the second tub of yoghurt bought because we forgot the first, the leftovers nobody remembered.
2.5 million
tonnes of food thrown out by Australian households every year
4 kg+
per household, every single week
up to $2,500
a year per household, spent on food that ends up in the bin

How Use It Fresh helps
- See it in time
Every food shows how long it has. One calm reminder a day names what to use next.
- Cook what needs using
Meal ideas start with whatever is closest to its date, not a recipe you'd need to shop for.
- Freeze it in a tap
Won't get to it in time? Freeze it from the food's card and buy yourself months.
- See where it goes
What you used and what you threw out, over six months, so the next shop is smaller.
AI that does the boring bits
Smart where it helps. You stay in charge.
Use It Fresh uses AI for the jobs nobody wants to do by hand, and is honest about what it can't do.
Your scana shelf, a receipt, a food
AI reads itnames, counts, dates
You check itnothing goes in unseen
Dinner ideasfrom your own food
- It reads your scans
Each item is named, counted and given an estimated life. Anything it had to guess is marked.
- It writes meals from your food
Built from what you have, leaving out your allergies and diets every time, for everyone at the table.
- It learns your taste Plus
The meals you keep, cook and skip shape the next ideas. You can see it and change it.
- It knows its limits
It never invents a use-by date and never says food is safe. Scans are only used to read the food.
What we've learnedPLUS
From the meals you keep, plan, cook and eat.
- Likes Thai and Mexican food
- Often picks chicken and eggs
- Usually cooks in under 30 minutes
- Rarely picks fish or soups
An example. Yours is built from your own choices.

One kitchen the whole household sees: the same food, shopping list and plans, live on everyone's phone.
No advertising or analytics in the app, and nothing about you sold to anyone.

Questions
Does it tell me whether food is still safe to eat?
No, and it never will. It tracks dates and gives estimates so you notice food in time. Judging whether something is safe is yours to make — check the food itself, and when in doubt with high-risk food, throw it out.
What happens to my scans?
A scan of a shelf, a receipt or a single food is sent to Google's Gemini service to read what's in it, and the picture is stored in your household's private storage so your food has a picture. Receipt scans aren't kept. See the privacy policy.
Can my partner or housemates see the same kitchen?
Yes. Create a household and share its invite code. Everyone sees the same food, shopping list and plans, and changes appear on each other's phones straight away.
How does it learn what I like?
From choices you already make in the app: the meal ideas you keep, the meals you plan, cook and mark as eaten, and the ones you skip or swap out. Recent choices count most, so a phase doesn't stick forever. A short summary goes with your food list when you ask for ideas. You can read it, remove parts of it or reset it in Profile → What we've learned. It's part of Plus.
What does it cost?
The app is free, and most of it stays free: your kitchen, dates and use-soon reminders, the shopping list, meal ideas from what you have, what you used, and 3 shelf or receipt scans a month (plus 3 to fill your kitchen at the start). Plus is A$7.99 a month or A$49.99 a year, and adds unlimited scans, the week planner, receipts and budgets, meals that fit your goals and ideas that learn your taste, for up to 6 people. You can look at everything before you decide.
