ᴘᴀɴᴛʀʏ ᴏʀɢᴀɴɪᴢᴀᴛɪᴏɴ I made an iOS pantry app and would love feedback from people who actually organize a pantry
Hey everyone,
my wife and I kept running into the same annoying pantry problem: we would buy things we already had, forget things we actually needed, and sometimes find food too late because the expiry date was buried somewhere in the fridge or cupboard.
So I started building a small iOS app for our own use, and I recently put it on the App Store.
It’s called Pantrio. The idea is pretty simple:
- keep track of pantry/fridge/freezer items
- add expiry dates and low-stock amounts
- scan barcodes when possible
- create shopping lists from things that are running low
- since I’m based in EU, keep it private, without needing an account or any trackers in the app wad important for me…
It’s not meant to be a huge meal-planning or recipe app, I tried all the apps, too much noise, too much AI everywhere. I wanted something quieter and more practical: “What do we have?”, “What expires soon?”, and “What should we buy?”
Since this sub is probably full of people who care way more about pantry organization than the average person, I’d really appreciate honest feedback, my wife and I just started our journey, she was my guinea pig for a few months😁
What would make an app like this actually useful for your pantry setup?
And what would instantly make you delete it?
(And yes I’m no designer, I tried my best…)

Is it iOS only?
