Getting Started

When you first use the iOS or Android app, create an account or sign in, set a nickname, and create a group. “Home” is suggested as the group name, and you can change it. You can invite family later or join an existing group with an invitation code. After creating a new group during setup, you are invited to add just one item. Enter its name and quantity; the default quantity is 1, and an expiry date is optional. Review the suggested category and storage location, and choose Change to select others. You can set low-stock alerts and other options under Advanced settings when needed. You can also scan a product barcode. Use Scan barcode above the item name to scan one item and fill in product details on the same form. Scanning is optional, and the details you have already entered are kept. Use Attach photo (optional) below the expiry date to take a photo or choose one from your photo library or files. Attaching a photo does not automatically fill in the item name or other details. Review the form and tap the save button to finish adding the item. After saving one item, open it to check its quantity and expiry date. Adding another item is optional. You can also choose Add later to skip registration for now. Sign in with a Google account or Apple Account. To keep using existing data, choose the same sign-in method and account you used before. If personal stock from an older version is found, a data migration screen appears on the Web, iOS, and Android. Choose Start migration to move stock and images into a personal group. If it stops, you can safely resume from the completed step. Finish migration instead of creating a new empty group while this screen is shown. The Web app checks automatically when migration has completed. If “Migrating” remains visible because of network conditions, reload the page or choose Resume migration. Completed steps are not repeated, and the same data is not registered twice.

You can register items quickly by scanning a product barcode: After tapping the add button, choose Scan barcode, Continuous JAN scan, Add with photo, or Enter manually. On iOS and Android, the scanning screen lets you switch between single and continuous scanning. Continuous scanning keeps the camera open for several products. Scanning the same JAN code again after a short interval increases its quantity. Remove unwanted items from the scanned list, then review product names, quantities, and expiration dates before saving.

Specifications in earlier versions
