The food-waste app · iPhone

Eat well. Waste nothing.

Naranza knows what is in your fridge. It warns you before a product runs out of date, then suggests the recipe that saves it.

Free, ad-free, no account required. Coming soon to the App Store.

The problem

19 kg

of still-edible food thrown away per person, every year, at home.

And 0.5 of the 1.3 million tonnes wasted at home are products still in their packaging: never opened, simply forgotten.

We don’t waste out of carelessness. We forget.

The yoghurt that slipped behind the butter, the leftovers we never see again. Naranza keeps an eye on your fridge, for you.

How it works

Three moves, and nothing goes to waste.

  1. Add

    In a few seconds.

    Scan a barcode, photograph a receipt or type it in. Naranza fills in the product, and suggests a date if you don’t have one.

    Add products sheet: barcode, receipt, manual entry.
  2. Get warned

    Before it’s too late.

    Every product shows its date: expired, today, in seven days. A reminder goes out before the deadline, and each morning a summary tells you what is pressing.

    Inventory: every product with its date, expired, today or in seven days.
  3. Cook

    The recipe that saves them.

    Each recipe compares its ingredients with your stock: what you have, what is missing, and an alternative when an equivalent is already at home. One tap on “Add 3 missing items” and they go to your shopping list.

Monthly impact: products eaten, savings, CO₂ avoided.

What you get

Waste less. Eat better.

  • Waste less

    You see what is pressing before the date, and you know what to do with it.

  • Save money

    Naranza counts what you save, in euros and CO₂ avoided, month after month.

  • Stop wondering what to cook

    Today’s recipe starts from what is already in your fridge.

  • Shop right

    Products you always want to have come back on the list when you run low. And the whole household shares the same one.

Before, after

The difference, day to day.

Without Naranza

  • You find the date has passed as you throw it out.

  • You buy what you already had.

  • “What’s for dinner?”, every single day.

  • A shopping list on paper that nobody else knows.

With Naranza

  • The product that is pressing rises to the top, with a recipe idea.

  • Your stock is in your pocket.

  • Today’s recipe starts from your fridge.

  • A list shared with the household, sorted by aisle.

The app

What it does

Everything you need, nothing more.

Add and track

  • Scan

    A barcode is enough: the product sheet comes from Open Food Facts.

  • Receipts

    Photograph it and Naranza reads the products on your phone.

  • Dates

    Use-by, best-before or open-by. With no date, Naranza suggests one for you to correct with a tap.

  • Reminders

    A reminder before the date, and a morning summary of what expires soon.

  • Low stock

    Pick the products you always want to have: they move to your shopping list when you run low.

Cook and share

  • Recipes

    Each recipe compares its ingredients with your stock: what you have, what is missing.

  • Meal plan

    The week’s meals, and the shopping list that goes with them.

  • Household

    Share the inventory and shopping with your family using an invitation code.

  • Widget

    “Use soon” on your home screen, without opening the app.

  • Diet

    Flag your allergens and keep what you do not eat out of suggestions.

A little warmth

A word, not an alarm.

When a product runs out of date, the mascot says so plainly and offers to sort things out. When all is well, it says that too.

  • Two products are past their date. Shall we sort them out?

  • Zucchini, it’s for today.

  • The fridge is in order. Have a good day.

Questions

What people ask us.

Is Naranza free?

Yes, free and ad-free.

Do I need an account?

No. Naranza works on your phone without one. An account, with Apple or Google, is only for sharing a household and publishing recipes.

How do I share with my household?

Create a household in Settings, then share its invitation code. Inventory and shopping list are shared across your devices.

How are products recognised?

By barcode, thanks to Open Food Facts, an open collaborative database. Without a barcode you type the name and Naranza suggests an estimated expiry date.
