Home Inventory & Food: InvenDo

Stop throwing away food you forgot about. InvenDo is a home inventory app for your kitchen and the rest of the house: it keeps track of what you have, where it is stored and when it expires, and reminds you in time.

Scan a barcode or type a name, put the item in a storage place (fridge, freezer, pantry, garage, bathroom cabinet), and you always know what is in the house without going to look.

STOP THROWING FOOD AWAY
- Nothing spoils at the back of the fridge again: give an item an expiry date and it is flagged as Expires soon, then Already expired
- A reminder arrives at the time of day you choose, so you use things while they are still good
- Opened a jar or a pack? Mark it opened, and InvenDo sets a Consume by date from the shelf life you enter once, then remembers it for next time

NEVER RUN OUT OF WHAT YOU ALWAYS NEED
- Coffee, diapers, cat food: set a Minimum quantity and InvenDo tells you before the last one is gone
- Everything below its minimum sits on one screen, ready to go onto the shopping list
- Set the minimum for a whole category, not just item by item

BUY ONLY WHAT IS MISSING
- A shopping list built from what your pantry actually lacks, instead of from memory
- Group the list by store, so one trip covers one shop
- Check things off in the aisle, then move what you bought straight into your inventory
- Send the grocery list to whoever is going out, as plain text

ADD THINGS IN SECONDS
- Scan a barcode to add an item, scan again to take one away
- A scanned barcode can fill in the product name and photo for you (available in many countries, not all)
- Start typing and InvenDo suggests things you have had before

FIND ANYTHING WITHOUT SEARCHING THE HOUSE
- Storage places inside storage places: the freezer, then the top drawer
- Categories with colors, and subcategories when you need them
- Photos of your items and your storage places, and an icon for each storage place
- Unit sizes that add up for you: 1 pack = 6 pcs, or 1 pack = 250 g, with the total on hand
- Search your whole home inventory by name or by voice

KEEP THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD IN SYNC
- Invite your partner, children or roommates by email, and everyone sees the same list as it changes
- Keep several lists (home, parents' house, a hobby collection) and choose who sees which
- People you invite get the paid features on your shared list at no extra cost
- Works offline, syncs when you are back online
- Check the shopping list off from an Android home screen widget, or open your inventory in a browser at web.invendo.app
- Export to Excel whenever you like, or import a spreadsheet you already keep

WHO IT IS FOR
Anyone who wants a pantry inventory that is actually up to date. Food in the fridge, freezer and pantry. Medicines and their shelf life. Cosmetics. Clothes you forget you own. Tools in the garage. Hobby collections. Wine, spices, camping gear, baby supplies, printer cartridges. It is built for a household rather than a business, and it is simple enough that the rest of the family will actually use it.
