Your smart pantry: less waste, recipes from what you already have, and optional AI helpers. Free forever.
Not a cosmetic release: every screen, every list, the settings page, the medicine cabinet, the stocktake, the API and the upgrade path were rebuilt. The pantry you already have is safe.
Six sections that save themselves, four essentials always visible. No more eighteen tabs and a Save button.
One 132 px row grammar in every list: photo strip, name and brand, stock, date, one pill and two actions.
Four cards built from your own data: a recipe you already cooked, what to eat first, charts and the idea of the day.
Optional cabinet, national catalogues imported locally, PAO read from the pack: no AI model in the loop.
Three ways to count, one ledger, and a session you can resume from any device.
Gemini, OpenAI or Llama with one switch; turn it off and pantry and barcode still work.
A real pantry in the browser: 30 products, a month of history, six languages, a fresh reset every night.
Token minted on first boot, pairing code, single-use OAuth state and a webhook secret.
The database verifies and repairs itself on the first request: a second boot changes nothing. No reinstall, no data lost.
Screenshots taken from version 2.x of the official repository.
If you want to know what’s at home, cook better, and waste less — without the headache.
One shared pantry: clear expiry dates, less forgotten food at the back of the fridge.
Recipe ideas from ingredients you already own. Less “I don’t know what to make.”
Connect Bring!, Home Assistant, or a kitchen tablet — when you want, no pressure.
A little clarity helps you pick the right tool.
Short kitchen stories — no jargon.
EverShelf reminds you and suggests a recipe with what you already have. No panic, less waste.
When something runs out, it can join the list — even on Bring!. At the store, you already know what’s missing.
Put EverShelf on a wall tablet: scan, weigh, and cook without grabbing your phone every minute.
Six simple pillars. Use only what you need.
Pantry, fridge, and freezer under control — with alerts before it’s too late.
Optional: spot a product, read a date, or invent a recipe.
The list updates when you run out and stays tidy.
Meal ideas that respect your rhythm — without a food diary.
Built for the kitchen screen: hands free, scale, and full-screen mode.
Bring the pantry into the tools you already live with.
EverShelf runs in your space. No hidden plans, no surprises.
Inventory and history stay on your device or home server.
AI helpers are optional. Turn them off and inventory still works.
No premium tiers and no hidden usage tracking.
Open code on GitHub: read it, change it, share it freely.
Turn on only the connections you need. The rest can wait.
The shopping list you already know, kept up to date by EverShelf.
Expiry dates, stock, and shopping in your smart home.
Weigh right in the kitchen, without extra steps.
Daily activity for recipes that fit you better (optional).
Every tool has its strengths. Filter by what matters most to you.

No sign-up. No install. A sample pantry right in your browser.
Fictional but coherent data: pantry, fridge, freezer, recipes and shopping list. Everything is clickable, and it starts clean again every night.
Demo environment: fictional data, no personal data, automatic reset every night at 03:00.
The interface speaks Italian, English, German, French, Spanish and Chinese: the demo opens in the language of this page.
Three simple steps. If you get stuck, there’s a guide and a community.
Download, set your preferences, and start. Then open EverShelf in the browser.
Prefer a classic setup on your web server? That’s possible too. Full details are in the guide.
At last I know what’s in the fridge without opening the door ten times.
Recipes start from what I really have — and I waste less.
The kitchen tablet became the hub for shopping and expiry dates.
