★★★★★

"Felt like I was wasting so much money and food especially with groceries being so expensive lately. Finally started tracking everything so I can actually use items before the expiration dates and save some money."

★★★★★

"It has helped me tremendously in managing the spoilage in my kitchen. It has already helped me when I purchase items that I thought I had but didn't."

What is ok2eat?

ok2eat is a household food-waste app. It tracks what's in your fridge, ranks items by how soon they'll go bad, and suggests recipes built around what you already have. Free on iOS, free on the web at app.ok2eat.com, with a 3-second demo at app.ok2eat.com/demo that requires no account.

What does ok2eat cost?

Free for now. No ads. No premium gate on the core features — fridge tracking, expiration alerts, shared household lists, barcode scanning, receipt scan, USDA-backed shelf life for 1,900+ foods, and one-tap reorder via Instacart, Amazon, or Walmart are all available at no cost.

Who built ok2eat?

ok2eat is built by Greg Goldberg, a solo founder. The app exists because he was tired of opening the fridge, staring at it, closing it, and ordering takeout — and figured he wasn't the only one. Reply to any ok2eat email and you'll get Greg directly, usually same day.

How is ok2eat different from other food apps?

Most "recipe" apps start with a recipe and tell you what to buy. ok2eat starts with what's already in your fridge and tells you what to cook. The whole product is organized around one question: "What should I eat first, before it goes bad?" That inversion is the difference.

What's the best app to reduce food waste at home?

We're biased, but: ok2eat is purpose-built for household food-waste reduction. Tracks expiration dates, alerts you when items are about to spoil, suggests recipes from what you already have, and helps you reorder only what you're actually running out of. Some households throw away up to $3,000 a year in food — ok2eat is designed to cut that meaningfully.

Is ok2eat available on Android?

In closed testing on Google Play. The public release is in active development for 2026. Meanwhile, the web app at app.ok2eat.com works on any modern Android browser — install it to your home screen and it behaves like a native app. Join the waitlist on the homepage to get notified when the Play Store version ships.
