Hey all, I’m trying to be a little more economical and reduce the amount of food I waste, and was wondering if there were any open-source apps that can track the best-before dates of the foods I buy so I can improve my meal-planning.

I saw that there’s Best-Before on F-Droid, but the last release was in July 2022, and I was curious if there was something more actively maintained.

    You can still eat it after the ‘best before’ date. It might not be best, but it doesn’t immediately turn into poison.

      I’m aware, just figured it would be a good idea to prioritize those things first, and also use the information I gain to figure out how arbitrary the dates given are.

      For example, while logging my spice cabinet just now with the Food Expirations app, I saw that there were a few that were past due that I’m going to look into with how much longer they’d be good for.
