How SpoilAlert works

  1. 1

    Add an item

    Type a name, pick a category, and set the expiry or best before date. Add a photo or a note if you like.

  2. 2

    Get a friendly reminder

    SpoilAlert nudges you a few days ahead, at the time of day you choose, so there is still time to use it.

  3. 3

    Use it up

    Tap the check when it is used up. Fewer forgotten leftovers means less food waste.

Questions, answered

What does SpoilAlert do?

SpoilAlert is an expiry date tracker. You add food and household items with their expiry or best before date, and it reminds you before they run out of time. It is a reminder tool and does not judge whether something is safe to eat.

Do I need an account to use SpoilAlert?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Open the app and start adding items.

Does SpoilAlert work offline?

Yes. It works without an internet connection, and your reminders are created on your phone.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. Your items, notes and photos stay on your phone, and we never receive them. If backup is turned on for your phone, Android may back up app data to your own Google account, which you control in your device settings. The Privacy Policy explains the details.

Is SpoilAlert Plus a subscription?

No. It is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited items, the home screen widget and the Lavender Dusk theme. The price is shown in Google Play and varies by country.

Which phones does SpoilAlert work on?

Android phones running Android 8.0 and up.
