What it does

One place is free, and it stays free if you never buy. Each item in that place can be fridge, freezer, or pantry. You choose the zone for the item. The list can be filtered by zone, so you can see the fridge, the freezer, or the pantry on its own. Clear the filter and the whole place is on screen again. The free place includes the zones, the filter, and the date groups.

The first launch shows example items dated from the phone's date. Spinach is yesterday, in the fridge, so it sits past the date. Bread is today, in the pantry. Milk is tomorrow, in the fridge. Yogurt is the day after tomorrow, in the fridge. Bread, milk, and yogurt sit in the next 3 days. Chicken is about three weeks out, in the freezer. Oats are further out than the chicken, in the pantry. Chicken and oats sit in later. The examples make those groups visible before you add your own rows. Remove examples deletes only examples. Items you added stay. Editing an example keeps it an example: a new name, date, zone, or note does not turn it into an item you created. An example leaves the list when you delete that row, or when you use Remove examples.

A reminder is optional, and it is included in the free list. When it is on, Lardow can notify you at 09:00 local time the day before the date you wrote. The notification names up to three items. Notification permission may be requested. If you decline, the list is still usable: you can type names and dates, filter by zone, mark items finished, and delete rows. Lardow does not ask for an exact-alarm permission.

A one-time Google Play purchase adds places, up to 4 in total, and enables CSV export. The first place stays free without the purchase. The button shows the price Play returns. Restore asks Play if this account owns the product. When Play says this account owns it, the extra places and CSV export are available on this phone. There is no subscription. There are no ads.

After the purchase, CSV export sends a file through the Android share sheet, and you choose where it goes. The columns are place, zone, name, date, status, and note. Without the purchase, export stays off, and the free place still works.

A name can be up to 40 characters. A note can be up to 80 characters. A date can run from 1 January 2000 through ten years ahead. There is no search. You can mark an item used or discarded. Finished items stay hidden until show finished is on. Delete confirms, and the row stays until you confirm.

How a session works

Lardow is a food expiry list. You type a name and the date you saw. The list stays on this phone. Lardow groups that date into past the date, the next 3 days, or later. The next 3 days means today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Later means any date after those three days. Past the date means the date you typed is already behind the date on the phone. Lardow does not decide whether the food is safe to eat. It shows the date you entered, in the group that date falls into.

One place is free, and it stays free if you never buy. Each item in that place can be fridge, freezer, or pantry. You choose the zone for the item. The list can be filtered by zone, so you can see the fridge, the freezer, or the pantry on its own. Clear the filter and the whole place is on screen again.

Questions

Does Lardow say the food is safe?

No. You type the date you saw. Lardow groups that date into past the date, the next 3 days, or later. It does not tell you the food is safe to eat.

Where is the list stored?

In a local file on this phone. There is no account and no cloud copy. Android backup is off. Uninstalling removes the list. A new phone does not receive the old list.

What is free?

One place is free, including fridge, freezer, and pantry filters, and the optional day-before reminder. There are no ads and no subscription. A one-time purchase raises the limit from 1 place to 4 and adds CSV export. Google Play shows the price on the button.

What happens if I decline notifications?

The list still works. Lardow asks for notification permission only when you turn reminders on. It does not use an exact-alarm permission.
