About this app

UseBee is an expiry tracker and expiration date scanner. It reads the barcode and the printed date on a pack in one scan, then reminds you before the date comes. No account, no typing, no limit on items.

Point your camera at the label. UseBee finds the barcode and the "best by", "use by" or "EXP" date at the same time. You check the date it found, tap once, and the item is saved. If a date is hard to read, pick it on the calendar instead.

WHY PEOPLE USE IT
• Stop finding expired food at the back of the fridge or pantry
• Waste less food and money
• Keep track of the freezer, the medicine cabinet and the bathroom shelf too
• One list for the whole home, sorted by what expires first
• A simple fridge and pantry tracker for every expiry date

ONE SCAN, NAME AND DATE
• Reads common date styles: 12/10/2026, 2026-10, 12 OCT 26, "BB 12 OC 26", "EXP 10/26"
• Reads date labels in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and the Nordic languages
• You always check the date before saving
• Product names come from the barcode using Open Food Facts, a free open database
• Fresh food without a date? Add it by hand with +3 days, +1 week or +1 month

USE BY OR BEST BEFORE
• Mark each date as "use by" or "best before"
• Food past its best before date is shown apart from expired items, so you see the difference at a glance

FOOD EXPIRY REMINDERS BEFORE THE DATE
• One short daily summary at the time you choose
• For each item, remind 1 day, 3 days or 1 week before
• Need it at a different time? Give an item its own reminder time
• See what is expired, what expires in the next 3 days, this week, and later

ORGANISED BY PLACE
• Fridge, freezer, pantry, medicine cabinet, bathroom
• Add your own places, like Garage or Car
• Filter the list by place, or search it
• Mark items as used or thrown away, with undo
• History shows what you used and what you threw away; put an item back with one tap

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No sign-up and no login. Works offline
• Date reading runs on your phone. Photos never leave your device
• Only the barcode number is sent to Open Food Facts to look up a product name

KEEP YOUR LIST SAFE
• Back up your list to a file, and restore it on a new phone
• Works with Android's backup to your Google account

FREE AND FAIR
• Unlimited items, free
• One small banner ad. Scanning, reminders and backup are free for everyone
• UseBee Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: it removes the ad
• Light and dark theme, or your wallpaper's colours

GOOD TO KNOW
UseBee reminds you of the date printed on the pack. It does not check whether food or medicine is safe to use. Always follow the label and the storage advice on the product.
