Beta. Pre-release software, expect rough edges.
Roadmap

The road ahead

Pantry Raider is pre-1.0 and moves fast. This is a snapshot of direction, not a promise — priorities shift as hardware arrives and people weigh in, and there are no dates or version numbers here on purpose. For the dated history of what's actually shipped, see the changelog.

Recently shipped

6
  • Bandit Cubs

    Small ESP32 companion displays you flash right from the browser, paired over Bluetooth broadcast.

  • Fridge & freezer protection

    Hygrometer threshold alarms and door contact sensors, with grace periods before anything alerts.

  • Shelf buttons

    A physical press that adds to the shopping list or runs a chosen action.

  • Community shelf-life learning

    Opt-in, anonymized best-by data shared across installs to sharpen expiry suggestions.

  • Home Assistant integration

    Sensors, automations, and a Lovelace dashboard alongside the app.

  • STEMMA QT / Qwiic add-ons

    A hardware ecosystem for small add-on sensors and controls, starting with a NeoKey scan-mode selector: a physical button to flip the barcode scanner between adding, using, shopping, and audit.

  • Integrations registry

    Makes inventory backends and device support modular, instead of each one being wired in by hand.

  • Cub-to-Cub relay

    So Bandit Cub sensors can reach the server through another Cub when they're out of direct range.

Ahead

8
  • Installable phone app

    A proper PWA you can add to your home screen.

    Arrange your own home-screen layout.

  • NFC tags for leftovers

    Tap a tag to track what's in the container.

  • Smart scale support

  • Appliance orchestration

    Built safety-first: the app will only ever be allowed to turn something off, never on.

  • Kitchen air-quality monitoring

  • E-ink displays

    A lower-power, always-visible option alongside Bandit Cubs.

  • Native iOS & Android apps

    If there's enough demand beyond the PWA.
