How it works
Scan
Point the camera at the barcode; turn on the flashlight in a dark kitchen.
Confirm
Check the name, quantity and expiry date.
Done
The item lands in your fridge with a photo, so you'll recognise it later.
Why it helps
- Product names and photos filled in for you.
- Flashlight and manual code entry for faded or crumpled labels.
- Works for packaged food in the fridge, freezer or pantry.
- Scan several products in a row, then add them all together.
Powered by Open Food Facts
Fridgea looks barcodes up in Open Food Facts, a free, open database of food products from around the world. Not every product is in it yet — when a code isn't found, type the name once and carry on.
Barcode or receipt?
Barcodes are perfect for a single item: the jar you just opened, the pack you found in the freezer. After a big shop, the receipt scanner is faster — one photo adds everything at once.
Questions, answered
Does it read the expiry date from the package?
No — barcodes don't contain expiry dates. Fridgea suggests a typical shelf life, and you can set the exact date from the label in a tap.
What if a product isn't found?
Type the name once, or enter the code by hand if the barcode is damaged.
Can I scan in the dark?
Yes. Turn on the flashlight from the scanner screen.
Is barcode scanning free?
It's part of Pro, and free users get a few scans to try it.
