My Journey to Reduce Food Waste
From Fridge Frustration to Smart Food Management
As a computer science student living away from home for the first time, I quickly realized how frustrating it can be to manage food properly. Every time I stocked my fridge or pantry after grocery shopping, I found myself placing new items in front, pushing the older ones to the back. Inevitably, I’d forget about things, only to discover them expired days or weeks later.
I tried organizing my food better by moving older items to the front, but it wasn’t efficient. Despite my efforts, items still got lost in the chaos of my fridge. That’s when I realized that what I needed was a better way to track my inventory – something simple yet powerful enough to ensure I wasn’t wasting food. The idea for Your Food – No Waste Inventory application was born.
From Personal Project to a Complete Household Inventory Solution
Before developing my own tool, I first tried a few apps. They were cluttered with intrusive ads that popped up right when I needed to manage my inventory. Plus, their overpriced monthly subscriptions made them inaccessible for students and everyday people.
When I developed the first version of Your Food, it was simply for personal use. I needed a tool to manage my food inventory and reduce food waste in a fast, efficient, and free way directly from my phone. But as I started using it, I quickly realized that many others face the same challenges every day. I then decided to share the project, which gradually grew in scope.
Simplifying Food Management for Every Household

Your Food wouldn’t be where it is today without the valuable feedback from its community. Every suggestion, from small tweaks to major feature requests has helped shape the app. Regular updates are rolled out, integrating new ideas to improve the experience and ensure that it meets the evolving needs of users.
No Ads with Free Version
Your Food is designed to give you a seamless experience without interruptions. The free version offers everything you need without any Ads. For those who want more control, upgrading to premium version is easy. The price is transparent and affordable.
Simple and Easy for All
I designed Your Food to be intuitive and user-friendly for everyone, whether you’re tech-savvy or not. Anyone can participate in keeping track of the inventory. There aren’t endless buttons & menus – it’s quick, simple, and efficient. The goal is to create an app that brings the family together in managing food, no frustration. Read more >>
