Barcodes. The first time a code is seen, LARDER looks it up in the Open Food Facts database and fills in the name and brand. After that it's remembered on your account β the next carton of the same milk is one tap, no lookup needed.
Dates. The use-by date is pre-filled from what the item is and where you're putting it β chicken in the fridge gets a few days, the same chicken in the freezer gets months. Change it if the package says otherwise.
Lots. Each scan is its own lot. Two cartons bought a week apart stay separate on purpose β that's what lets the app tell you which one to open first.
No barcode? Produce, bulk, leftovers β type the name and it files itself just the same.
| Item | Qty | Use by | State |
|---|
Tap Put away on anything you've bought β it opens the same slip the scanner uses, so it lands on a shelf with a date instead of vanishing off the list.
