Despendo features
How each part of Despendo works: shelves and categories, the barcode scanner, days of food, coupons and more, explained step by step.
Despendo does several things at once: it organizes your pantry in shelves, reads barcodes, calculates how many days of food and water you have, warns you about what is about to expire and accepts gift coupons. This section explains each feature calmly, with examples and no jargon.
If you want to understand why the app does something a certain way, or what data it keeps and what it does not, the answer is here. Entries are updated when a feature changes.
