Fridge management
Set up your fridge in FridgeFlow, give it a name, and manage multiple storage units if you have a fridge and a separate freezer.

Your first fridge
When you create your household, FridgeFlow automatically creates a default fridge for you called "My Fridge". All the items you add go into this fridge unless you change it.
On the free plan, you have 1 fridge. Upgrading to Starter (up to 3) or Pro (unlimited) allows you to add more storage units (for example, a garage chest freezer or a second fridge).

Fridge maintenance reminders
FridgeFlow has a dedicated Maintenance page where you can view and manage recurring cleaning tasks for every fridge in your household. Tasks are auto-created when you add a fridge and can be tracked in both calendar and list views.

Go to the Maintenance page
Navigate to Maintenance in the sidebar. You'll see all tasks across all fridges, with colour-coded urgency badges (overdue, due soon, on schedule).

Filter by fridge
Use the fridge selector at the top to focus on a specific fridge, or view all at once for a merged overview.

Mark tasks as done
Tap Done on a task to complete it. FridgeFlow automatically calculates the next due date based on the interval (weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.).
Cleaning your fridge regularly is one of the best ways to reduce food waste — you're forced to look at everything that's in there!
