Track medication expiration dates without a spreadsheet
Most people find out a medicine has expired at the worst possible moment, halfway through a headache at 2am. SeePantry treats Health & Medicine as a first-class category with its own shelf lives, so painkillers, prescriptions, supplements and first aid supplies sit in the same place as everything else you keep track of, and you get told before they lapse.
Free to start. No account needed to try it.
A category built for it, not a workaround
Health & Medicine is one of 29 built-in categories, with shelf-life defaults appropriate to it rather than borrowed from food. Add an item by scanning its barcode, photographing the pharmacy receipt, or typing the name, then set the printed expiry if you want to be exact.
Reminders that arrive before it matters
You get a heads-up three days out, one day out, and on the day, with actions on the notification itself. For a medicine cabinet, the useful pattern is usually a quiet reminder to replace something before you next need it, rather than a scramble afterwards.
The rest of the bathroom cupboard too
Personal care items, sunscreen, contact lens solution and baby products all have their own categories and their own sensible shelf lives. If you are already tracking food, adding these costs nothing extra.
Common questions
- Is there an app to track medication expiration dates?
- SeePantry tracks medicines and supplements in a dedicated Health & Medicine category with expiration reminders three days, one day, and zero days out. You can scan a barcode or enter the printed expiry directly.
- Can I track medication and food in the same app?
- Yes, and that is the point. SeePantry covers 29 categories spanning food, medicine, cleaning supplies, personal care, pet supplies, paper goods and baby items, so the whole house lives in one inventory.
- Is the expiration date reliable?
- If you enter the printed date it is exact. If you do not, SeePantry estimates from the category, and the app is explicit that these are estimates for typical storage rather than a safety guarantee. For medication, entering the printed date is worth the extra few seconds.
