A while ago on my personal blog I wrote about the solution I’d come up with for keeping track of food expiry dates using Google calendar. You can read that here: http://theflyingdeveloper.com/the-flying-developer-hates-mouldy-food. Since then I’ve been working on an app that streamlines the input process, and now it’s finished!
Called Omnivore, it’s a simple app that revolves around maintaining a list of food items and notifying you when they go bad. As you can see from the screenshot to the left, the main view is simple: Food sorted by expiry date and colour-coded to draw attention to the most important items. All the data is immediately synced to Google Calendar so that it can be viewed from your desktop, laptop or any other internet-enabled device. Just like any other calendar, you can share it with your family, housemates or anyone else who has a stake in the contents of your fridge. Sharing set-up has to be done through the Google Calendar web interface for now, but I’m planning on integrating it into Omnivore in future.
Omnivore marks the first ‘proper’ app release from Inflatable apps, in that it is available right now from the Android Market. The link and QR code are posted below. Please take a look and let me know what you think, either in the comments for this post or on the Market page. Thanks!
