A pantry that keeps its own time

Never check the shelf again.

Ullage is a free pantry app for the whole house. Mark what you buy; it learns your pace and writes the shopping list before anything runs out.

Scroll, and watch the shelf empty at its own pace.

How Ullage works

  1. Mark what you bought.

    One tap when it comes home. No counting, no scanning cupboards, no guessing how much milk is left.

  2. It learns how fast your house goes.

    Every purchase is a data point. Milk every four days, pasta every other week — Ullage works out each one on its own.

  3. The list writes itself.

    When something is due, it lands on the shopping list on its own. Nobody typed it. Nobody forgot it.

  4. One shelf for the whole house.

    Hand a housemate a six-letter code. Both phones see the same list, and whoever is at the shop ticks it off.

  5. Works with no signal.

    Everything lives on your phone first. The shop with no reception still works — it syncs when it can.

  6. Or just photograph the receipt.

    Each till line comes back as the thing it actually is, ready to check off. Three receipts a year are free.

Questions

The questions people ask first

Do I need an account?

No. Your pantry stays on the device you are using, and the app works offline. Add an email address only to share the shelf with the people you live with, or to get it back after a lost phone.

What do I have to do, and how often?

Walk the kitchen once, then mark what you buy. That is the whole job — you never have to tell Ullage how much of anything is left.

How does it know when something will run out?

From the gaps between your own purchases. Ullage takes the middle one. Early guesses are wide and tighten as the record grows, and a date is always a guess rather than a promise — you can overrule any of them.

Does it warn me before food goes off?

No. Ullage predicts how often you buy a thing, which is a different question from when a thing expires. It does not read expiry dates, and it does not plan meals.

How does sharing with my household work?

Everyone sees the same shelf. Anyone can add a thing or mark it bought. Sharing uploads the shelf so the other phones can read and write it — the one part of Ullage that is not local, and it happens only if you choose it.

What does it cost?

Nothing. There is nothing to buy today and no trial that runs out. The one limit is receipt photos: three a year. We plan an optional paid upgrade later, and everything that is free today will stay free.

Can I get it on my phone?

The web app works in a phone browser today, and you can add it to your home screen. Native iPhone and Android apps are built but not yet in the App Store or on Google Play.
