Know what's on your shelf and what needs using next. Custoda keeps pantry stock, expiry reminders and recipe ideas together, checks each scan against your household's allergies and diets, and helps the food you already have get eaten.
Scan it, confirm the date, and let Custoda do the remembering. The screens below are the real app, exactly as it appears on the App Store.
One inventory for the kitchen, the medicine cabinet and the rest of the house, with reminders before things run out of date and recipes that use what you already have.
Scan a barcode to identify a product, then read the printed date with the camera or tap a quick-pick: 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months or 1 year. Estimated dates are a starting point, and Custoda asks you to check them against the label.
Scan item after item, then set every expiry date, rename products and mark how much is left on a single screen.
Add household allergies with one tap from the common allergens, or type your own ingredients. Pick dietary choices such as vegan, gluten-free, halal or low sugar. Custoda flags matches as you scan, whenever product information is available. It checks "may contain" lines too, catches forms like almond flour when you avoid almonds, and reads labels in other languages.
If ingredient data is missing or incomplete, Custoda shows "unverified". It never tells you a product is safe. Warnings for everything on your avoid list are always shown, even after the trial.
The home screen puts what's expired and what's expiring soon at the top, suggests recipes that use it, and keeps a running tally of food rescued and food wasted.
772 recipes across nine regional cuisines, from Italian and Japanese to Romanian and American BBQ & Grill. "For you" picks are ranked by what's already on your shelf, "Explore by region" browses each cuisine, and every recipe opens on an illustrated banner. Diet tags are checked against the ingredients. Save favourites and add your own recipes.
Set a pack size and how much is left: 25, 50 or 75 per cent, full, or fine-tuned. Recipes use it, so a nearly empty box doesn't count as enough. One swipe marks an item used or wasted, or puts it back on the shopping list.
Track medicines, toiletries and household supplies alongside food. Save replace-by dates for smoke alarms, carbon-monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers and first-aid kits.
Get a reminder before something expires. Mark it used from the notification, or snooze it for two days.
Invite family members with a private iCloud invitation and keep one shopping list together. You can also share selected food from your inventory, which is off until you turn it on.
Suggest a few recipes, see how many ingredients each person already has, and let the household vote. Custoda shows the leading choice.
Rename "Semi Skimmed Milk 2L" to "Milk": recipes go by the name you give an item, and treat minced and ground as the same thing. Light and dark themes follow your device, and the app speaks six languages.
Most household apps want an account before you can add a thing. Custoda starts working the moment you open it, and your health information stays on your iPhone.
Every feature, with up to 20 stored items, for your first week.
After the trial, keep up to 5 items and 3 avoid-list entries free. Warnings for everything on your avoid list are always shown. Diets and a longer list come with the unlock.
Unlimited items and avoid-list entries, expiry reminders, household sharing with the dinner vote, and recipe sharing, for a single purchase. No subscription.
No. Custoda works without sign-up. Your shelf, reminders and allergen and diet profile live on your iPhone. The optional household features use your own iCloud, and only when you turn them on.
No, and it never claims to. It flags ingredients on your avoid list when product information is available, and says "unverified" when data is missing or incomplete. Product data comes from open, community databases. Always check the packaging. Custoda is not medical advice.
Invite family members with a private iCloud invitation. Everyone shares one shopping list and can suggest recipes and vote on dinner. Sharing food from your inventory is off by default: you choose which items to share and can stop at any time. Your allergen and diet profile is never shared.
Yes. Keep food and drink, medicines, toiletries and household supplies in one inventory, and save replace-by dates for smoke alarms, carbon-monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers and first-aid supplies.
Try every feature for 7 days with up to 20 items. After the trial you can keep up to 5 items and 3 avoid-list entries free, and warnings for everything on your avoid list are always shown. A one-time purchase adds diets, unlimited items and avoid-list entries, expiry reminders, household sharing (shared list, shared pantry and dinner vote) and recipe sharing. There is no subscription.
Custoda is built for iPhone. The app is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Simplified Chinese, with light and dark themes that follow your device.
