Introduction
What is the Smantry App? Supported platforms Functions
The Pantry.App is a web application that helps you manage your supplies. You can organize your supplies into categories and keep track of expiration dates. The Pantry.App also helps you create and manage shopping lists.
The Speisekammer.App is available as an iOS, Android, and web app. There's also an API for integration into your own applications.
The Pantry.App offers a variety of features to help you manage your supplies. These include:
Inventory management
Keep an eye on expiration dates
Create and manage shopping lists
Joint management of supplies in a community
Integration into your own applications
Printing the food supply
All steps up to the final print Overview of all storage locations Next, we will show you how to create a list for a single storage location Why does the print contain these strange rectangles ☐☐☐?
First, we will show you how to print a list of all storage locations. We have taken screenshots of the app and highlighted the relevant button.
Go to your community overview:
Use the green printer icon to create a PDF file. Once it is created, it will automatically download to your PC.
This is what the finished PDF looks like – an overview of all storage locations and all the items stored there:
First, open the warehouse whose items you want to print.
At the storage location, click on the green printer icon. A PDF file will be created and downloaded.
You can print out the finished PDF and leave it as a reference at the respective storage location.
As soon as the PDF is exported or the printout is made, the listed inventories will inevitably become outdated over time. Therefore, the printout should be updated regularly. If this is done in the app, a new printout can easily be created.
If a smartphone is not available, a withdrawal can also be made on the printout: For each item taken, exactly one box is crossed out ☐ - because exactly one box is printed for each item. This way, even after several items have been taken, you always know exactly how many items are still in stock. The inventory can then be updated and transferred in the app at regular intervals.
If you're only going to be offline for a short period, there's no need to worry: With our iOS and Android app, you can also work offline temporarily.
Have fun managing your supplies!
How do I invite a member to my community?
Instructions for the mobile app (iOS and Android) Instructions for the WebApp
Open the app or go to “Overview”.
Scroll down to find your community section.
Tap the plus icon in the top right corner of this section to generate the QR code for the community.
Show this QR code to the people you want to invite to your community.
The invited person opens the Smantry App and scans the QR code with the barcode scanner.
The new member will automatically be added to your community.
Open the WebApp and log in
Go to the community members page.

Prior to iOS and Android versions 1.4.0, there was a join link. This feature has been replaced by the QR code. The join link is no longer available.
It is not possible to remove a member yourself. Please contact support at support@speisekammer.app for manual removal.
Smantry App for clubs
Organization of camps and excursions Inventory management
Scouts regularly organize camps and outings, where they bring food and supplies. For example, making stick bread over a campfire requires flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and water. Are there enough supplies left from the last camp, or do we need to buy more? How much flour is about to expire and should therefore be used up soon?
The Pantry App can help you manage your supplies and keep track of everything. With expiration dates and quantities, every organizer has an overview, even on the go, and the ability to plan and organize supplies and purchases.

Notifications for expiring food items
Notifications for expiring food items Configuring notifications
If you have items in stock that are about to expire, you can have the pantry app notify you. The notifications will appear as push notifications on your smartphone.
Notifications will be sent for 30 days. After that, you'll need to open the app to receive further notifications. This ensures that you use the app regularly and keep track of your food.
You also need to set a reasonable warning period in your account—that is, the number of days you want to be warned before the expiration date. You can configure this setting in your account itself.
The Smantry App requires permission to send push notifications to deliver notifications. You will be asked for this permission the first time you launch the app. If you do not grant this permission, we will not be able to send you notifications.

How do I fix items without a warehouse location assigned?
Error description Troubleshooting New features and improvements: Instructions for correcting affected articles Note: Warehouse assignment possible on mobile devices
In our app and web app, there was an error that caused an invalid warehouse to be linked to some articles. In the item overview, the error message displayed in these cases was:
The error occurred because in certain cases no valid warehouse was assigned when creating articles. Moreover, it was not possible to correct the warehouse location afterwards via the WebApp.
We have successfully fixed the error. From now on, articles will always be created with one of your valid warehouses. Additionally, we have expanded the WebApp so that you can now easily correct faulty articles.
Filter for items without warehouse assignment:
Warehouse assignment via the WebApp:
Open the WebApp and navigate to
Choose your community.
Use the new filter
Click on the button
Assign the correct warehouse to the item.
Save the changes.
After the successful correction, the article will be displayed with the correct storage location and the error message
You can perform the inventory allocation not only in the WebApp, but also easily in the mobile app.

Summary of Privacy Policy Details on the privacy policy
Your data is stored in our pantry app database on a secure Google server in Frankfurt, Germany
Your data will NOT be shared with all users. However, you can share your data with family members or others in a community.
You must be logged in to view your data. Choose a secure password if you don't want others to see your stash ;)
We don’t sell your data!
If you do not include your address in the storage location description and do not upload a picture of your house, there is no way for us to find your stock.
We have a large stock ourselves and no interest in yours ;-)
With the Smantry App, we've fully embraced synchronization, so the data is stored on a server. We use a secure Google server located in Frankfurt, Germany.
If someone gains unauthorized access to our database on the server, they won't be able to use all the information unless the name of the storage location or community can be traced back to an address or family name. While the IP address could be used to identify the provider, this is always located in a larger city, where there are thousands of households—making it impossible to find a specific stash.
If there are further privacy concerns, a purely offline version might be interesting in the future, so that you retain complete control over your data. If this sounds like something you'd like, please vote for this feature here:

Terms
Communities Community / Household Storage locations Members of the community Inventories
With the Smantry WebApp you can manage items in your household together with all team members.
Because we know the app is also useful for managing vacation homes, camps, etc., you can switch between different households and communities. On the Communities page, you can select all the households you belong to. You can see your household members, their total food needs, and their current status.
Once you've selected a community, an overview of all storage locations within that community appears. Items can be stored in each storage location. You can also see which people are members of that household.
The list of storage locations features clearly recognizable icons for quick retrieval. The list can be expanded as desired, allowing you to organize your household the way you want.
In this view, you can see all the people who are members of this household and thus have access to managing the items in this household. All these people are also included in the household's food and beverage needs. You can also invite other people to the household via their email address using this view. For example, you can invite your husband and children so they can get an overview of your household with you.
If you select a storage location in the community overview, you'll see a view of the inventory stored at that location. You'll see the number of items, their descriptions, how many calories an item contains, and its shelf life.
Preparation statistics
Preparation statistics, preparation information and emergency planning Identifying the needs of a community Determining the reach of a community's food and beverages Preparation statistics
Even without prep mode, the Smantry app records the nutritional values of stored products and creates statistics. Learn more here:
Additionally, you can ensure that each member of your community enters their energy and water needs in their profile. This allows the pantry app to calculate your community's total energy needs. This setting can only be configured in the web app.
An example of this would look like this:
To determine the range, you must activate the preparation mode.
In the WebApp, click on User Account, and then on Activate Preparation Mode
In the mobile app, go to your user profile, then click on Settings and then activate the “Preparation Info”:
The preparation statistics show you how many days of energy and water you have in stock to fully cover your needs in the event of a quarantine.
In the WebApp you can see the number of days for which you have energy and water in stock to fully cover your needs in the event of a quarantine.
How you can support us
For developers Provide your own API integration
The Smantry App is designed to be extensible in various directions. In addition to our web app and mobile apps, we also offer an API. As a developer, you can help us by providing your own API integration and connecting your application with the Smantry App. This allows you to, for example, synchronize your own application with the Smantry App or display data from the Speisekammer.App in your application.
API
Open source projects General information
The following open source projects have emerged around the Speisekammer.App API.
Ideas for future projects Examples of use
Build a display using a custom monitor, smart mirror, or similar. The display can be used to show the current state of your pantry.
Integration with smart home systems such as Home Assistant, OpenHAB, ioBroker, etc. to display the current status of your pantry.
Reading access is free.
A premium membership is required for write access.
We do not plan to introduce any incompatibilities in the further development of the API, but we cannot completely rule them out.
The API is subject to change.
How does authentication work?
We use a bearer token approach. Generate a token and use it to access the API. The token expires after the desired period of time. You can generate a new token at any time. You must pass the token with each API request.
The API token will only appear once and then disappear. For security reasons, we do not keep track of generated API tokens. Please make sure you copy it now. If you lose your token, you can generate a new one.
You must be logged in with a verified email address to generate a token.
The token identifies you as your user to the API and has all the same rights as your user, so be careful when changing or deleting content.
No results found.
Nutritional statistics
The nutritional statistics as described in the article can be found in our WebApp.
At the bottom of each storage location, you'll see general statistics. Here, you can see how many products are stored and how many are expiring/have expired. You'll also see the water content and the total weight. In the community, you'll see the overall statistics for all storage locations.
In the second tab you can see the total energy content of all foods (in kilocalories), as well as the pure amount of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and fiber in grams.
For a balanced diet, 55% carbohydrates, 30% fat, and 15% protein are recommended. If this optimum is achieved through the storage, all three bars are in the green middle range. Deviations occur in the yellow or red range. In this example, the carbohydrate content of the storage is too high, while fat and protein are underrepresented. For an optimally balanced storage, products containing fat and protein should also be stored.
