Four ways, whichever suits you: scan the barcode, which identifies the product through the open Open Food Facts database; take a photo of the date, which the app reads on its own; dictate the code or the date out loud; or type everything by hand.
A use-by date applies to perishable food and must not be exceeded — it is a food safety matter. A best-before date is about quality: past that date the food may lose flavour or texture but is usually still edible. MyChowy tracks both and warns you ahead of time.
Yes. At most one notification a day, sent only when something has expired or expires within three days, whatever your plan. The same reminder by email is part of the Premium subscription. Every member of a shared pantry is notified, and each person picks their channels in their profile.
It stays on a private server, with no third-party analytics, no advertising and no resale. Only the scanned barcode is sent to Open Food Facts to look the product up, without any account identifier.
