Garde-manger

Open source · hosted or self-hosted

From the fridge to the plate, nothing wasted.

Garde-manger tracks the whole household’s fridge, warns before dates pass, and suggests what to cook with what’s left. Hosted for you, or on your own server.

Features

Garde-manger home screen: 5 products to cook first, this week’s counters and the list of items to use soonest.
  • The receipt, in one photo

    Every item joins the pantry with its quantity and price. One AI read, no separate OCR step.

  • Dates, without the mental load

    Fresh, first-to-go, expired: every product says where it stands, and the home screen shows what needs using this week.

  • Recipes with what’s left

    The AI starts from the products closest to their date. Once cooked, the recipe removes what it used.

  • One shared shopping list

    The whole household adds, ticks and sees the same list, syncable with Home Assistant.
