What it does

Most pantry apps begin with a chore: entering every item manually. Fridgie starts with the receipt already in your hand. One photo turns your grocery shop into a pantry with quantities and expiry dates, surfaces what needs using first, and creates recipes around those ingredients. It also includes a step-by-step cook mode with built-in timers—and it’s completely free, with no subscription.

Track fridge and pantry expiry dates, scan receipts, and get AI recipes from ingredients you already have. Waste less food without maintaining lists.

You already own dinner. Fridgie just remembers where you put it. Not a form, not a barcode, not a list you maintain by hand. Just photograph the receipt the till already printed. Names, quantities and expiry dates come back filled in. Check the list once, then add it to the pantry. Recipes built from what is already in the house — and weighted toward whatever is closest to going off. A reel, a TikTok, a blog with twelve paragraphs before the ingredients. Share the link to Fridgie and it comes back as a recipe you can actually cook. Five screens, no onboarding tour, no empty dashboard waiting to be filled in. Drag through them. Everything you own, sorted by how long it has left. The things…from getfridgie.com

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
