Powerful Features
Built with modern technology to help individuals, families, and businesses eliminate waste and stay organized.
Hybrid Barcode Scanning
Add items in seconds using your device's camera. Expiry Alert Pro implements a multi-stage lookup flow that coordinates local hardware and cloud AI for optimal speed and accuracy:
- Offline ML Kit Scanner: CameraX analyzer processes standard formats (EAN-13, UPC-A, Code-128, etc.) instantly on-device without internet access.
- OpenFoodFacts Lookup: Instantly matches barcode numbers with millions of global grocery product names.
- Gemini AI Product Lookup: Falls back to Google's gemini-2.0-flash model to determine product details from barcode numbers or images.
Smart Expiry Risk Engine
Our custom real-time risk engine tracks remaining shelf life for every item and highlights urgency levels with clear visual cues:
- SAFE (Green): Products with more than 7 days left until expiration.
- UPCOMING (Amber): Products with 2 to 7 days remaining.
- CRITICAL (Red): Products with 0 to 1 days left (expiring today/tomorrow).
- EXPIRED (Dark): Products that have passed their expiration date.
- Category Smart Suggestions: Pre-fills durations automatically (e.g., Medicine: 2 years, Grocery/Dairy: 30 days, Cosmetic: 1 year, Beverage: 6 months, Frozen: 3 months, Canned: 1 year).

Precise Notifications
Never let a product expire silently. Our robust alert system uses Android's advanced scheduling APIs to deliver notifications reliably:
- Daily Checks: A WorkManager job runs daily at exactly 9:00 AM to inspect active products.
- Dual Notification Channels: Separate `expiry_critical` (High priority with sound/red LED) and `expiry_upcoming` (Default priority) channels.
- Boot Resilience: A BroadcastReceiver listens for device restarts to automatically reschedule background tasks.
- AlarmManager Fallback: If background jobs are restricted, exact alarms trigger precise reminders.
Analytics & Cloud Sync
Monitor your waste, see your savings add up, and keep your data synchronized across multiple devices:
- Waste Analytics Engine: Calculates items wasted, category-specific breakdown, saved values, and tracks monthly expense charts.
- Cloud Synchronization: Premium users' data syncs to Firebase Firestore with offline queue caching (saves changes and uploads when reconnected).
- Data Portability: Export your complete stock lists to PDF or CSV formats (Premium feature).
- Home Screen Widget: Add the Expiry Widget to your Android homescreen for a quick glance at upcoming alerts.
