Petsa: Food Expiry Tracker

Christian Jade

About this app

Petsa turns the guesswork in your kitchen into a list you can actually trust.

Point your camera at a barcode and Petsa fills in the product name, brand and category for you. Set when it expires - tap a quick option like 1 week, or pick the exact date on the calendar. From then on, Petsa reminds you while there is still time to use the item, instead of after you have already thrown it out.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Scan the barcode. The details fill themselves in.
2. Set the expiry date - a quick option, or the calendar, whichever is faster.
3. Get reminded before it expires, not after.
4. Scan it again to restock. Petsa recognizes it and adds another unit with its own expiry date, with no retyping.

MORE THAN FOOD

Petsa has 13 categories - Dairy, Produce, Meat, Seafood, Bakery, Frozen, Beverages, Snacks, Pantry, Personal Care, Household, Medicine and Other - so medicine, cosmetics, cleaning supplies and anything else with a date printed on it can live in the same list as your groceries.

REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE IN TIME

Petsa notifies you a few days ahead of an expiry date, and gives you a summary of anything that has already lapsed, so nothing quietly spoils at the back of the shelf. Reminders are yours to switch on or off in Settings.

BUILT FOR REAL KITCHENS

- Every unit is tracked separately. Three cartons of milk bought on three different days are three different dates, not one.
- Swipe to remove what you have used up.
- Search and filter by category to see what needs using first.
- Add items by hand when a barcode is not in the lookup.
- Dark and light themes.

SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE

English, Filipino, Hiligaynon, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

ONE PRICE, NOTHING ELSE

Petsa is a single purchase. No subscription, no ads, no in-app upsells, and your pantry data is never sold. You buy it once and it is yours.

NEW TO IT?

A short walkthrough runs the first time you open the app, and a How It Works page in Settings answers the common questions and can replay the tour any time.

Petsa is a reminder tool, not a food safety authority. Always use your own judgment before eating or using anything.
