Frequently Asked Questions
What is Haltbar?
Haltbar is a pantry management app. Scan barcodes to add food items, track expiry dates, find recipes by ingredient availability and create smart shopping lists.
How do I scan products?
Tap "Add" and point your camera at the barcode. Name, image and category are filled in automatically. In batch mode you can scan multiple products in a row.
How does the recipe availability check work?
Each recipe shows what percentage of ingredients you already have in your inventory. In the ingredient list you see green checks (✓ available) and red crosses (✗ missing). Missing ingredients can be added directly to your shopping list.
What is the AI recipe generator?
The AI recipe generator creates recipes based on your pantry. Choose a cuisine (e.g. Italian), difficulty, cooking time and diet (e.g. Vegan, Low Carb) — the AI generates a matching recipe.
How does the shopping list work?
The shopping list automatically sorts items by supermarket department (produce, dairy, spices, etc.). You can add missing ingredients directly from recipes and check off completed items.
Can I share a household?
Yes! Under "Household" you can invite others via an invite code. All household members share the same inventory and shopping list.
Do I need an account?
An account is optional. Without an account the app works locally on your device. With an account (Google, Apple or email) you can sync your data and share a household with others.
Is the app free?
Yes, Haltbar is completely free — no subscription, no ads, no account required.
The app crashes or won't load.
Try the following steps:
• Close the app completely and restart it
