Amberjar: Expiration Tracker

Amberjar reads the date on the label, so you don't have to type it. Point your iPhone at a yogurt lid, a milk carton or a box of pills. Amberjar finds the printed date, whether it says USE BY, BEST BEFORE or EXP, and counts it down for you. Then it tells you what to use first. THE JAR Your home's dates live in one glass jar. Every dot is something that can go off, and amber dots are the ones to use soon. Open it and your shelf is sorted by what needs you: past its date, use today, use soon, later. IT READS THE LABEL • Reads printed dates with your camera, right on your iPhone • A pack with a 2D code gives its exact date • Barcodes fill in the product name • No label? Just type it: "milk fri", "ibuprofen exp 03/27", "leftover curry" • Amberjar guesses what it is and where it lives; change either with a tap IT KNOWS WHAT THE DATE MEANS • Use-by is about safety, best-before about quality.…
