- Worth noticing
- The site lists 220+ foods in Mochi Mart and supports barcode and receipt scanning, alongside custom entries.
Field notes
Food can be added from Mochi Mart, by barcode or receipt scan, or as a custom entry; the site says frozen items get a revised best-before date. It also describes shared houses with a live common fridge, a shopping list that updates when food runs out, and weekly Munch Reports comparing finished and tossed food. Recipe generation is presented as an optional subscription.
