Food expiry reminders. Use it before you lose it.
A lot of wasted food is food nobody remembered was there. Scan the barcode, set the date, and Deadlinr reminds you before it goes off. No inventory to manage.

What to track. Add each once.
- Milk, eggs and other fridge staples
- Opened jars, sauces and leftovers
- Meat and fish in the freezer
- Fresh bread, fruit and vegetables
How it works. Then it goes quiet.
- Scan, then set the date.
- The barcode scanner fills in the product; you add the date from the pack.
- Up Next on your Home Screen.
- A widget shows what is due next, so you see it before you open the fridge.
- Reminders that fit food.
- 7, 3 and 1 day before, and on the day, by default. Trim them for the Groceries category if you only want the last two.
What it doesn't do. Deadlinr is not an inventory or meal-planning app. It doesn’t count quantities or suggest recipes; it only remembers dates.
Guides for this. Sourced and practical.
How Long Does Food Last in the Fridge After Opening?
Leftovers last 3 to 4 days at 40°F (4°C) or below, opened deli meat 3 to 5 days, eggs 3 to 5 weeks. USDA storage chart, UK rules and date labels explained.

Something else? Email us.
Does the scanner read the expiry date?
No. Scanning identifies the product; you set the date from the packaging.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Items are stored on your device and reminders are local notifications, so no connection is needed.
Can the whole household see the same items?
Family Sharing gives up to 6 people the full app from one purchase, but each person keeps their own private list.
Pay once. Private by design.
An app that watches your subscriptions shouldn't be one. One forgotten renewal costs more than Deadlinr ever will.
