Every year, tonnes of perfectly edible food are thrown away while many Australians struggle to put food on the table. This petition calls for large commercial supermarkets to donate safe, surplus food instead of sending it to landfill. If you support reducing food waste and helping those in need, please consider signing.
I built an app that tells you what you can cook from the food already sitting in your fridge
I kept thinking about a stupidly common problem:
You open the fridge.
There’s clearly food in there.
And somehow your brain still goes:
“I have nothing to eat.”
So I built FridgeFox.
Instead of manually typing every ingredient you own, you can take a photo of your fridge or pantry.
FridgeFox detects the ingredients, lets you review what it found, and adds the ones you approve to your pantry.
From there it can:
- show what food you already have
- track expiry dates
- surface ingredients that are expiring soon
- match recipes against your actual pantry
- show exactly what ingredients you have vs. what you're missing
The idea is basically to reverse the normal recipe workflow.
Instead of:
Find recipe → buy 12 ingredients
it becomes:
See what I already own → find something I can make with it
It’s a mobile-first web app, so there’s nothing to install from an app store.
I’d genuinely like brutal feedback, especially on one thing:
Would this actually change how you manage groceries, or would keeping a digital pantry eventually become another chore you stop using?
