Spice Rack Pantry Organiser Downloads & RevenueSpice Rack Pantry Organiser · App Store

Know exactly what is on your spice rack — and which jars have quietly gone flat.

Ground spices fade in about 2-3 years, whole seeds in 3-4, dried leaf herbs in 1-3. Nothing printed on the jar tells you that, so most racks hide a few bottles that still add colour but no flavour. SpiceShelf gives every jar an opened date and an automatic best-by date based on its form, then shows a colour-coded freshness bar so one glance separates "still bold" from "use it up this week".

WHAT YOU GET
- A searchable catalogue of every jar, sorted by freshness, name or newest, and grouped by freshness status
- 10 categories: Ground, Whole, Dried Herbs, Seeds, Blends, Peppercorns, Baking Spices, Salts, Chiles and Other
- Name, quantity, purchase date, opened date, a free-text note and an optional photo picked from your photo library
- An automatic best-by date the moment you log a spice, calculated from its form: whole ~3-4 years, ground ~2-3, dried leaf ~1-3, salt and shelf-stable ~10
- A freshness percentage plus colour-coded status: Fresh, Good, Use soon, Past peak
- A Use Soon tab that ranks fading jars by days remaining, so you cook the right things first
- Mark as opened and Mark as used up, right on the spice detail screen
- A restock list that fills itself: mark a jar used up and it lands straight on the shopping list, with a check-off basket and "From your rack" tagging. Add your own items too
- Local reminders 1 to 6 months before a jar hits its date — an on/off toggle and a stepper you set yourself
- A Guide tab with a My Shelf dashboard: average freshness and a chart of jars per category
- A built-in reference to 14 common spices (black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, paprika, oregano, thyme, coriander seed, chilli flakes, nutmeg, garam masala, vanilla bean, sea salt, star anise) with shelf life, storage advice, a flavour descriptor, best uses and a tip
- A per-spice freshness tip and "great in" suggestions on the detail screen
- A 4-page onboarding with one question about how you cook

PERFECT FOR
- Home cooks whose spice drawer has outgrown their memory
- Anyone with three half-used jars of cumin and no paprika
- Batch and meal-prep cooks who buy in bulk and need to rotate stock
- Bakers and global-cuisine cooks juggling cardamom, garam masala and star anise

WHY NOT JUST USE A NOTES APP
A note holds a list. It will not tell you that the oregano you opened 26 months ago is finished, it will not sort your rack by what is fading, and it will not warn you two months out. SpiceShelf does the shelf-life maths on every jar automatically and keeps flagging it until you either cook it or replace it.

Note: SpiceShelf tracks aroma and flavour strength, not food safety.
