Fridge Forecast is built by one person, shaped by what real kitchens keep running into. The order changes when testers show me something better to build.
Three sample rows sit on a fresh Home screen, one per swipe: swipe them away and you know the whole loop, and nothing about them touches your real numbers. A Getting Started list on the Achievements tab turns the rest of the tour into small real actions, each one earnable in any order. The old page-by-page tutorial is gone entirely.
Meal, Snack, Ingredient, and Accent needed explaining, which was the tell. Food is now Grab & Eat, Cook With, or Flavor, the app guesses from the kind of food, and you correct it in one tap if the guess is wrong.
Shelf-stable things like ground cinnamon, oils, and dry goods no longer get an invented countdown. No date is the honest answer, and the app now says it.
Tell Siri to add milk while your hands are full, and it lands in the kitchen with a real estimate. The daily digest grew buttons too: mark something used, or give it two more days, straight from the notification.
Lay a few loose items on the counter, take one picture, review what it found. It is honest about its limits: barcodes beat the camera for anything packaged, and it never pretends confidence it does not have.
Things added in a hurry ride estimates. One screen gives recent arrivals their real price and package date in a single pass, and every real date teaches the app your kitchen.
Come back after a few days away and the app catches you up in under a minute: what went past its date, four honest answers per item, and Not Sure is one of them. Nothing counts against you until you say so.
What Needs Attention and The Week Ahead: your fridge with the door open, calm on purpose, recomputing themselves at midnight all week. The widgets page tells the whole story.
An optional, movable reminder for a two-minute Sunday count, so the app and the kitchen never drift far apart.
Today’s photo add handles a few separated items. Whole-counter recognition ships only if it works well enough to trust, and not before.
Fridge Forecast has no account, no server, and no cloud today, and that is a feature, not a gap. Household sync will only ever arrive in a form that keeps your kitchen yours.
The fastest way is to say what happened in your kitchen. A plain email is enough.
