Your pantry

Keep track of what you have, where it is, and when it runs low.

Choose Pantry in the sidebar.

Add things

Choose Add item. Add to pantry has three ways in:

  • Type. Write a name and an amount, like “rice 1 kg” or “6 eggs”. The amount is optional.
  • Paste. Paste a list and review it.
  • Scan. Use your camera, or type the barcode number. If Thyme Kept does not know a barcode, name the item yourself.

If you already have the item, choose Add to existing, Replace amount or Keep separate.

What each item tracks

Every item is Have it, Running low or Out, and has a place: Pantry, Fridge, Freezer, Counter, Spice cabinet or Utility closet. Open an item for its amount, a use-by date, Keep stocked, and Remind me before it goes off. Use some takes an amount off as you cook, and you can undo it.

Search the pantry, or use Show to see items that need attention, staples, items that are low or out, what is in the fridge or freezer, or what to use soon.
