Notvorrat – Emergency Supply

Germany's Federal Office of Civil Protection recommends a ten-day supply. What that means for a household with two adults and two children is written down nowhere. Notvorrat works it out, keeps track of your stock and gets in touch before anything expires.

COVERAGE, ALWAYS IN VIEW

One number answers the real question: how long will my supply last? The weakest group is always the limit, and the app names it – 200 kg of pasta without water is zero days.

BUILT FOR SHOPPING IN GERMANY

The figures come from the official German recommendation – this app is for people who live and shop here, including those who moved to Germany and would rather use it in English. Quantities stay in kilograms and litres, and the receipt scanner reads German receipts.

LOG YOUR SUPPLY IN SECONDS

Nobody enjoys typing in 30 items. Photograph your receipt and Apple Intelligence turns it into suggestions with group, quantity and pack size. A shelf photo captures what is already in the cellar; single packs work by photo, barcode or date scan. You check every suggestion before it is saved.

Receipt, shelf photo and photo recognition need iOS 27 and Apple Intelligence. The first two are analysed by Apple in Private Cloud Compute after your consent; from a receipt only item lines without prices are sent.

WORKED OUT FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD

Adults, children by age group, older people, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and pets. Children count proportionally by energy requirement; drinking water stays at 2 litres per person per day, whatever the age.

A REMINDER BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

Every item gets its date – best before or a hard use-by date, because those are not the same thing. The app reminds you in good time, shows what is due on the app icon and repeats expired items daily until dealt with. All scheduled locally, no server, no network.
