Open Source apps to monitor the best-before dates of foods? (supermeter.social)

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.

This popped up on my F-Droid homescreen:

Food Expirations (Remember all the expiration dates of your food stocks.)

Not sure why, but it's not appearing either in the app or on a desktop browser for me. The link you provided leads to a 404.

On mine it's only available from the Izzy repo, not the main fdroid one.

Edit: Here's the source code. Try with either Izzy or Obtainium to install.

Oh thanks! First time adding a new repo to Fdroid. It works now, thanks a million!

Oppsie, F-Droid doesn't link properly to the IzzyOnDroid repo apps

Try this instead

Yeah link is dead, but you can find the app on f-droid

Not sure if these are reputable sources so make your own judgement on that but Google returns these two places when searching for the App identifier in the URL above
