Ambry Join the waitlist

Nobody wastesfood on purpose.They just forget.

Ambry remembers what’s in your kitchen, so you don’t have to. It keeps the list, watches the dates, and tells you what to cook before anything has to be thrown away.

Join the waitlist How it works

On iPhone, with Android next. Free for the whole kitchen; Plus is optional.

The Fridge in Ambry: produce, dairy and eggs, meat and other, each row with its days left and a Stocked, Low or Out chip. Spinach is one day overdue in red; milk, yogurt, chicken thighs and tofu are within a week in orange.

How it works

One loop. Nothing in it asks you for a date.

Five steps. The first and the last are yours. Ambry does the three in the middle without being asked, and stays quiet until something needs you.

  1. Groceries come homeA bag of spinach, a loaf, a dozen eggs.
  2. You add them, one of three waysType a name, scan a barcode, or snap the receipt.
  3. Ambry dates themWhat it is, times where it lives. Spinach in a fridge: five days.
  4. One reminder, at 8:00Only on a day something needs you. Orange within a week, red once it’s over.
  5. Dinner, or the listCook ranks what to make by what’s about to turn. Whatever you’re out of goes on the list.
The story

Five days, one bag of spinach.

The same fridge, told the way it happens. Every screen here is the one you would actually be looking at that day.

The Add screen in Ambry after typing Spin: Spinach, Fridge, about five days, with one tap to add it, and the option to add Spin as a new item with its shelf life estimated. Expiring Soon in Ambry: Spinach one day overdue in red under Overdue, then chicken thighs, milk, bread, tomatoes, bananas, tofu and yogurt grouped by the day they expire, with Add all and See what you can make with these. Cook in Ambry: You can make French toast, Shakshuka and Fried rice, each using expiring items; Almost there, Tomato soup missing onion and Spinach and lemon pasta missing lemons.

  1. You buy spinach with good intentions.

    It goes in the fridge, and into Ambry in about four seconds: type “spin”, tap the row. No date to pick, no form to fill. Ambry gives it five days, because that is how long a bag of spinach lasts in a fridge, and starts counting.

  2. Life happens. Ambry doesn’t let it.

    Nobody opens the crisper drawer. This is the part every other app leaves alone. Ambry has been counting the whole time; the row went orange on Tuesday, and this morning the phone says it plainly, once, before you go shopping: two items need attention, spinach expires today, bread went off yesterday.

    Expiring Soon in Ambry: Spinach one day overdue in red, then chicken thighs, milk, bread and the rest grouped by the day they expire.

    On screen: Expiring Soon

  3. Dinner is already picked.

    The Cook tab ranks what you can make tonight by what is about to turn. Shakshuka, twenty-five minutes, and the spinach goes in it. One ingredient short of something else? It goes on the list in a tap.

    The app changes the middle of the story, not the end.

Adding

Three ways in. One row out.

Type a name and it files itself with a date. Scan a barcode and the product name arrives with it, unlimited and free, forever. Or photograph the receipt from the whole shop and review every line before anything is saved.

Every way ends here: a row with a place and a date, and nothing typed but the name.

Expiry

What it is, times where it lives.

Every item gets an estimated date from those two things, drawn from USDA FoodKeeper. Move it and the date follows. Correct the same food three times and Ambry starts using your number instead of its own.

Privacy

What Ambry keeps, and what it never stores.

There is no analytics SDK, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. Nothing is sold or shared with data brokers. This website has none either.

Photos of receipts and groceries are never stored. They pass through the server to an AI provider that reads the item names off them, on no-training commercial terms, and are gone the moment the request finishes. Photos you add to your own recipes are kept, because you asked for that.

You can delete everything from inside the app. Profile, then Delete account. No email required.

Ambry is made by one person at Gratis Labs LLC. The policy is written to be read, not survived. Read the whole thing.
