How do I add my first product?
Three methods are available from the Fridge screen:
- Scan barcode β tap the icon in the top right, point at the code, FreshBox fills everything automatically (name, photo, Nutri-Score).
- Scan receipt β "receipt" button, our AI recognizes all items at once.
- Manual β "+" button to enter name, date and category yourself.
How do I enable expiration notifications?
On first launch, FreshBox asks for permission. If you declined it:
- Go to iPhone Settings β Notifications β FreshBox and enable the option.
- In FreshBox, open the Profile β Notifications tab to choose the alert delay (1 to 7 days before expiration).
The widget isn't displaying correctly
If your products or lists aren't updating on the widget:
- Open FreshBox once to force the sync.
- Long-press the widget β "Edit Widget" β check it points to the right account.
- If the issue persists, delete the widget and add it again.
π· Scanning
The barcode doesn't work
FreshBox uses OpenFoodFacts, a collaborative database covering millions of products, but not 100%. If a product isn't recognized:
- Add it manually with the "+" button.
- You can contribute to OpenFoodFacts via their dedicated app so it gets recognized next time.
The receipt scan doesn't recognize all items
The receipt scan uses AI that may make mistakes on wrinkled, poorly lit receipts or uncommon stores. Tips:
- Photograph the receipt flat, on a plain background, with good lighting.
- Check the result and correct/remove erroneous lines before confirming.
- Non-food items are automatically ignored.
π¨Household & sharing
How do I share my fridge with my family?
In the Profile β Household tab:
- Create a household (the creator doesn't need to share anything β they invite).
- Share the 6-character code with the members.
- Each person opens the app, goes to Household and enters the code to join.
Products, shopping lists and stats sync in real time.
My household code is invalid
Check that:
- The code has exactly 6 characters (letters and digits).
- It was created recently β codes expire after 7 days.
- The household creator is still active (otherwise they need to generate a new code).
How do I keep a product private in a shared household?
When adding a product, check the "Private" option. It will only be visible to you, even if you're in a shared household. Ideal for personal tastes or surprises.
What happens when a member leaves the household?
Products they added to the household stay in the shared fridge (with their name indicated). Their "Private" products disappear with them. Their personal stats are kept on their account.

Is my data sold to third parties?

How do I delete my account?
