Never let food go bad again with this app

You might think that if you put something in the freezer, it will keep forever. Unfortunately, that’s not entirely true. Even in the freezer, your food will eventually spoil, and this app helps you keep track of everything.

As it happens, I was going through my freezer just yesterday to see if there was anything tasty in there, and I couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Pasta sauces, Liège stew, minced meat, chicken fillets, sausages and lots of unidentifiable bags of food. Most likely absolutely delicious, but how long have they been in there, and are they still good?

Time to eat!

The Toppits Foodsaver App is the answer to all your freezer problems. As soon as you put something in the freezer, you enter it into the app. This way, you always have an overview of what has been in the freezer and for how long, but the app goes one step further. As soon as it’s time to eat something, you receive a notification. This prevents that salmon fillet from spending two years in the freezer when you should actually eat it within two months.

With the app, you always have an overview of what’s in the freezer. This prevents you from buying things you don’t need, but also from throwing things away unnecessarily. You can share the contents with everyone in your household. If your housemate takes the last frozen pizza out of the freezer, it disappears from everyone’s app. That way, you’ll never again have to rummage through your memory to figure out whether you still have peas in the freezer while you’re standing in the supermarket.

Download

The app is available to download for free from the Apple Appstore and Google Play, and contains a database of around 500 different food items and their freezing times. If you’re really enjoying it, you can also upload photos for each product. Freezing food has never been so much fun.
