FreshBite is a food management app that explores how digital solutions can help reduce household food waste and improve food literacy. Designed with young adults and independent households in mind, the app simplifies everyday food management through a digital pantry, expiry reminders, and practical food storage guidance.
By addressing common challenges such as forgotten ingredients, improper food storage, and uncertainty around food freshness, FreshBite aims to encourage more informed and sustainable food habits. The project focuses on creating an intuitive, accessible, and user-friendly experience that empowers individuals to make better decisions about the food they purchase, store, and consume.
Users begin by adding groceries to their digital pantry, where items are organised into three categories: fridge, freezer, and pantry. When adding an item, users can enter relevant details, including its quantity, storage location, and expiry date.
Once added, users can view and manage their food inventory, track upcoming expiry dates, and receive reminders when items need attention. By selecting an individual food item, users can access detailed information about its estimated shelf life, recommended storage methods, food care tips, and appropriate disposal guidance.
Users can also explore the Impacts page to better understand the environmental benefits of reducing food waste and encourage more sustainable everyday habits.
Through this process, FreshBite guides users from organising their groceries to making informed decisions about food storage, consumption, and disposal.
