Getting started with FridgeFlow

Step 1 — Create your account

Head to fridgeflow.app/register to sign up for free. You can use your email address or sign in with your Google account — no credit card needed.

1. 1

   Choose your account type

   Select Personal if you're using FridgeFlow at home for yourself or your family.

   Select Business if you run a restaurant, cafe, or food service operation.

2. 2

   Enter your details

   Fill in your name, email address, and a password — or click Continue with Google to sign up in one tap.

3. 3

   Check your email (if using email sign-up)

   FridgeFlow will send you a confirmation email. Click the link inside to verify your address and you're in.

Step 2 — Take the quick tour

After signing up, FridgeFlow walks you through a short 6-step tour that shows you all the main features. It only takes about two minutes.

Step 3 — Add your first item

After the tour, it's time to add what's in your fridge. You can add as many items as you like, and each one gets an expiry date so FridgeFlow can remind you when to use it.

1. 1

   Tap "Add item" (the + button)

   Find the + button at the top right of your Inventory page, or tap the "Add item" button on your Dashboard.

2. 2

   Enter the item name

   Type the name of the food, for example: Milk, Leftover pasta, or Cheddar cheese.

3. 3

   Set the quantity and unit

   Enter how much you have — for example 2 litres or 500 grams.

4. 4

   Choose a storage zone

   Pick where this item lives in your fridge: Freezer, Top shelf, Middle shelf, Bottom shelf, Crisper drawer, or Door.

5. 5

   Set the expiry date

   Check the packaging for the best-before or use-by date. Tap the date field and pick the date from the calendar.

6. 6

   Tap "Save"

   Your item is now in FridgeFlow. It'll appear on your Dashboard and in your Inventory list.

Step 4 — Set up your household

A household is your shared space in FridgeFlow — it holds all your inventory, grocery lists, and recipe suggestions. You can share it with family members or housemates so you all see the same fridge.

1. 1

   Name your household

   Give it something recognisable — like Smith Family or Flat 4B. You can change it later.

2. 2

   Invite people (optional)

   Go to Settings → Household and tap "Invite by email" to add family members or housemates. They'll receive an invite link by email.

Personal vs Business account

FridgeFlow works a bit differently depending on which account type you chose at sign-up.
