Introducing Barcode Scanning

We're excited to announce our most requested feature: barcode scanning! Now you can add items to your Fridgo inventory in seconds by simply scanning the barcode on any packaged food item.

How It Works

Open Fridgo, tap the "Add Item" button, and select "Scan Barcode." Point your phone's camera at the barcode, and Fridgo automatically fills in the product name, category, and even suggests a typical expiration timeframe.

  • Instant product recognition
  • Automatic category assignment
  • Suggested expiration dates
  • Works with millions of products

Perfect for Grocery Day

Unloading groceries used to be tedious—now it's a breeze. Scan items as you put them away, and your inventory is updated in real-time. No more manual entry, no more typos, no more forgetting to add items.

Available Now

Barcode scanning is available now for all Fridgo users on both iOS and Android. Update your app to the latest version to start scanning. Premium users also get access to our expanded database with specialty and international products.
