What Shelfy does
Scan any barcode to identify your food instantly. Photograph the expiry date and Shelfy reads it automatically — no typing needed.
Get a nudge 3 days and 1 day before anything expires — so you always have time to use it up rather than bin it.
Shelfy suggests recipes based on what's about to expire. Use up your food deliciously instead of throwing it away.
Track how much food waste you've avoided over time. See which categories you waste most and build better habits.
Your fridge, freezer and cupboard in one place. See exactly what you have and where — like opening every door at once.
Your data stays yours. No ads, no selling your information. Sign in with Google or Apple, or use the app as a guest.
How it works
Get home from the shops, scan the barcode, photograph the expiry date. Shelfy reads everything automatically.
Every item lives in your digital fridge, colour-coded by urgency. Red means use it today. Green means you're fine.
A nudge before anything expires — with recipe ideas so you actually use it up instead of finding it three weeks later.
Track how much food you've rescued over time. The average household wastes £700 of food a year. Shelfy helps you keep it.
About Shelfy
Shelfy started with a simple observation — people don't waste food because they don't care. They waste it because once the fridge door closes, it disappears from their brain. Out of sight, out of mind.
We spent weeks talking to hundreds of people about their food habits. The same story came up over and over — good intentions at the shops, forgotten food at home, guilt when it ended up in the bin. People with ADHD said it especially felt impossible to keep track.
So we built Shelfy. A simple, fast, friendly app that does the remembering for you. Scan your food when you get home, and we'll remind you before it expires — with recipe ideas so nothing goes to waste.
Shelfy is free to use and built with care in the UK.
