SpiceShift

SpiceShift is a mobile + web app that helps home cooks track spices and seasonings, prevent duplicate purchases, and actually use what’s expiring. You scan receipts or barcodes (where available), then the app maintains a simple pantry list with purchase date, estimated freshness window, and “use next” priorities. It generates weekly “spice rescue” recipe suggestions based on what’s closest to stale, but keeps it realistic: it won’t pretend it knows your entire pantry perfectly. The app also supports custom blends (e.g., taco seasoning) with ingredient breakdowns so you can remake them consistently. A lightweight shopping mode flags items you already own and suggests the smallest sensible refill size. The goal is less waste, fewer repeat buys, and better-tasting food without turning pantry management into a hobby.
