Hello!
B4the.date is a pantry inventory app made specifically for my wife (who is also the designer of this application) and my mother (most dedicated QA). They used it to keep track of household stock for a while now. Feedbacks from their usage in the real world (more specifically, their kitchen) are the main driver to all functions in B4the.date.
Now, I thought I should share this with more people. Basically, B4the.date does these
🍎 Item is recorded with a name and a photo (optional but highly recommended).
🍎 Expiration is tracked in batches. Each batch consists of a date and a stock number.
🍎 Reduce stock or remove a batch when you have spent the item.
🍎 Increase stock or create a new batch when you procure a new one.
🍎 Categorize your inventory with any number of tags. Later, you can filter the item list with tags (any combo). e.g. "can" + "dried" for supermarket run, "cosmetic" + "medicine" for pharmacy run.
🍎 With the same filter, you can see which item is expiring, which is out of stock.
Being a progressive web application, B4the.date has a few bonus traits too:
⭐ It works in most browsers, including mobile browsers. You can use it on any device with a browser: PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS.
⭐ Offline-first and data are stored locally in the browser. Bad/No internet connection is not an issue while recording stock in the basement.
⭐ No-Sign Up. Open it and use it right away.
⭐ Free!Visit the website once and use it for free.
B4the.date has an online backup function. You can use it to sync the inventory across all your devices. It is also a backup in case you lost the only device. To use this backup function, I will have to charge a small fee. If you need it, you can reach me at kuan@hey.com.
Please give it a try, and share it with someone you know who can benefit from this. It is free and I am intended to keep it that way. The biggest cost is the remote backup service but since I will expand or shrink that base on the number of users paying for that, I will not go broke running this.
