Overview / Description
Despensa Virtual is a smart pantry tracker that helps households cut food waste and stop losing money on groceries they never use. Log your food purchases and the app tracks expiration dates, alerting you before items go bad through Grandma Chibi — an interactive mascot who rewards a well-maintained pantry or calls you out when things are going south. When food is close to expiring, the built-in AI Chef analyzes your current stock and generates custom recipes around those items so nothing ends up in the bin. Built as a progressive web app, no installation required. Useful for households that over-buy, meal preppers who lose track of fridge stock, and anyone trying to reduce grocery spending by actually using what they bought.
