Why this exists
Why fridgely exists
“I built fridgely because I kept buying cilantro.”
That’s the easy version. The truer one is that I have ADHD, grew up with food insecurity, and revolted against every productivity app that tried to fix me with streaks and goals and weekly waste summaries that said “you’ve wasted $312 this month!” like it was rooting for me.
fridgely is what I needed instead. A tool that meets me where I am, on the days my brain works and the days it doesn’t, configured the way I need it.

A note on how it works
Configurable.By you.
The defaults are quiet. The controls are yours. If your brain needs more nudging to remember the app exists, turn the reminders up. If you want celebration when you finish a head of cilantro without forgetting it, even if that seems small to someone else, turn it on. If you want silence and no metrics at all, you can have that too.
Minimal
Only the most important alerts. No metrics.
Balanced
Default. Gentle reminders. Monthly recap. No streaks.
Loud
Daily check-ins. Optional streaks. User-defined wins.
All three modes are fully customizable. Or build your own from scratch.
