A fridge you can see all the way back wastes nothing.
Mealventory keeps your kitchen inventory, watches the dates and cooks with what is left.
Your kitchen, at a glance.
Fridge, freezer, pantry: every product in its place, with its date.
A barcode, a photo of the receipt or three letters is enough to add a product. The whole household shares the same stock.
Green: nothing to do. Amber: cook it this week. Red: too late. The code reads without a legend, like a label.

Then the week goes by.
Fresh groceries pile up at the front. What was there before moves back a row.
At the back of the drawer: the mozzarella opened on Tuesday, the spinach from the market, the rest of the cream.
You did not forget them. You just stopped seeing them.

What that means, in your home.
In France, each person throws away about 29 kg of food a year at home, 7 kg of it still packaged, close to €100 per person. Those figures come from ADEME, the French environment agency. The rest depends on your household: move the sliders.
Tonight, in the demo: 0.88 kg saved.
Your assumption, not ours.
- kg of food that never reaches the bin
- 23 kg per year
- € that stay in the account
- 80 € per year
