How it works
- Add a bag: snap a photo and the app fills in the name and food type. Choose fridge or freezer, how many bags, and where it is (for example "Garage chest freezer · bottom basket").
- Use First: your bags sorted by what to eat soonest. Swipe right for Ate It, left for Tossed or Freeze.
- Ask: "Do I have any salmon?" — the app tells you which bags and where they are. Pro adds meal ideas that use up what's due.
- Reminders: one when a bag is getting close, one on its last day, and a weekly use-it-up list.
- History: how many bags you ate versus tossed each month.
Storage times
Times come from the USDA (FoodSafety.gov Cold Food Storage Chart and the FSIS FoodKeeper). Vacuum sealing keeps food tasting fresh and prevents freezer burn, but it does not make food in the fridge safe for longer, so fridge times are the USDA's. Freezer times are for best quality — food kept frozen at 0°F stays safe.
Fish: keep vacuum-sealed fish frozen, and thaw it in the fridge with the bag opened.
