Food Waste Reduction

UseFirst

Cook what expires first, before it becomes waste.

UseFirst turns household food chaos into a practical inventory: scan a receipt or food photo, track expiry dates, get use-first recommendations, generate recipes from what is already in stock, and estimate nutrition.

Inventory Loop

From fridge contents to tonight's plan.

The app combines structured inventory records with AI-assisted scanning, recommendations, substitutions, recipe generation, and nutrition estimates.

01

Capture stock

Add items manually or extract foods from receipt and image scans.

02

Prioritize expiry

Sort the inventory by use-first urgency and track consumed or discarded items.

03

Generate meals

Create recipes and substitutions around ingredients already on hand.

04

Track nutrition

Estimate nutrition for meals and compare against simple goals.

A practical tool for smaller bins and easier meals.
