Add what you put away
Type a name, set an expiry, you’re done. A few seconds when the groceries land, then forget about it.
Never wonder what’s left in your fridge again.
FrostyPal keeps track of what’s in your fridge and what’s about to go off, shared with the people you live with. Quiet, ad-free, hosted in the EU. So you can stop staring at the back of the shelf.

The quiet cost
We throw away a third of the food we buy.
Forgotten leftovers. A tomato pushed to the back. Cheese that went off before Tuesday. It’s not that we don’t care — we just can’t see what we have.
1/3
of the food we buy at home ends up in the bin.

internal research
FrostyPal doesn’t shame you. It just quietly remembers, so you can cook.
How it works
Three small habits. One calmer kitchen.
See what’s next to go
Open the app, scan the list. Items are colour-coded by how soon they’ll go off — cook with what’s closest to the edge, or let the recipe suggestions surface a meal that uses it.
Share with your household
Invite the people you live with by email. Everyone sees the same fridge — your partner adds milk, you see it instantly.
Everything else it does
Small features, thoughtfully built.
A fridge the family shares
Your partner adds milk, you see it. One household, one list, in sync.
Expiry tracking
Each item carries an expiry date. The list colour-codes what’s closest to going off so it’s the first thing you see.
Quiet expiry alerts
A push the day before something goes off, delivered at the time of day you choose. Sent through our self-hosted ntfy server, never via FCM.
Shopping list with two modes
Plan your list at home; flip to focused mode at the store and tap items to cross them off. Bought less than planned? The leftover stays on the list for next trip.
Recipes from what you have
Browse the catalogue or get suggestions ranked by how few ingredients you’re missing. Save your own; submit them for review if you want others to see them.
Invite by email
Send an invitation; they accept on their device. Anyone can leave. Owners can rescind.
No ads. No profiling.
No third-party trackers, no ad networks, no behavioural data sold to anyone. Operational logs only.
Hosted in the EU
Servers in Luxembourg, GDPR by default. Data export and deletion on request.

On the way
What we’re building next.
FrostyPal is small and growing in public. These features aren’t here yet — when they ship, they move up to the list above. We’d rather tell you the truth than show you a screenshot of something that doesn’t exist.
Barcode for fridge items
Point the phone at a tin, the item lands in the fridge with a sensible expiry. The scanner exists for the shopping list today; persisting the code per item is what’s missing.
Photo recognition
Snap a photo of fresh produce — the app fills in the name and a guess at how long it’ll last.
iOS app
Same fridge, on iPhone. Coming after the Android build settles.
Web dashboard
Manage fridges and shopping lists from any browser. Useful when your hands are messy in the kitchen.
Android home-screen widgets
A glance at what’s expiring soon without opening the app. The in-app dashboard widgets are step one; the OS-level ones are next.
JSON / CSV export
A button to dump your data, no questions asked.
Good questions
Anything else?
Do I have to enter every item by hand?
For fridge items, mostly yes — type the name, set an expiry, you’re done. Barcode scanning is shipping piece by piece: it works on the shopping list today, and persisting the code on fridge items is what’s queued next. Photo recognition is further out. We’d rather a slower-to-add app that does what it claims.
Are there recipes?
Yes. Browse the catalogue or get suggestions ranked by how few ingredients you’re still missing from your fridge. You can save your own and, if you want others to see them, submit them for moderation.
Is it free?
Yes, free to use today. We may add a paid tier later for advanced features, but the basics — adding items, expiry tracking, household sharing, the shopping list, recipes — will stay free.
Does it work offline?
Not yet. FrostyPal is a connected app right now: the fridge data lives on our servers in Luxembourg and your phone needs an internet connection to read or write it. An offline mode is something we’d like to build, but it’s not here today.
Can I share with my partner or housemates?
Yes. Create a household, send an invitation by email, they accept on their device, and you’re looking at the same fridge. Anyone can leave; owners can rescind invitations or remove members.
Where does my data go?
Onto our servers in Luxembourg, under EU law (GDPR). It’s sent over HTTPS and stored in a database we administer. We don’t sell it, share it with advertisers, or use it for analytics beyond keeping the service running. Email hello@frostypal.eu and we’ll export or delete everything we have.
Which phones does it work on?
Android (9+) at first. iOS is on the roadmap — we’ll ship it after the Android build settles. There’s also a desktop version we use for testing; it’ll get a proper release once iOS lands.
What stays yours
Your fridge is personal. We treat it that way.
We built FrostyPal because we were tired of apps that turn every small habit into an ad profile. So we didn’t. It’s calmer for you, and honestly, it’s cheaper for us.
