Home inventory: know what is in the fridge without opening it
Radar, Zoku's inventory module: fridge, cupboards, bathroom, garage. Low-stock and expiry alerts, barcode scanner, connected to the shopping list. Android and iOS.
Three jars of mustard, no loo roll, a yoghurt that went off in March. A household's stock is held in one person's memory, and that memory cracks. Radar gives the household a shared inventory, kept up by whoever puts things away, warning you before the shortage and before the bin.
Why we rebuy what we have and run out of what we don't
Whoever puts things away knows. The others guess, and buy doubles just in case.
No washing powder on Sunday night, no coffee on Monday morning. The alert is the shortage itself.
They are at the back of the fridge, on packaging nobody turns over. Waste is a visibility problem, not a willingness one.
You write « milk » without knowing whether two bottles are left. The two tools never talk to each other.
How Radar works
Fridge free; cupboards, bathroom, cellar, garage, medicine cabinet with Premium ⭐. Up to 8, with colours and drag-and-drop reordering.
« Washing powder: alert below 1 ». Radar warns you when the threshold is crossed. The « essential » flag marks what must never run out.
A date on a product, a notification before it goes off. The back of the fridge comes back to the surface.
Scan, and the product entry fills itself in. A big shop is put away in a few minutes.
Product low → item in Check. And the other way round: ticking off a bought item adds it to the stock ⭐.
The flatshare's stock is not the house's. Each tribe has its own Radar.
Four concrete uses
The expiry date is visible before, not after. The yoghurt gets eaten, the cream becomes a gratin.

→ The blended familyNappies by size, formula, wipes: a threshold per product, and nothing runs out at 11pm.
→ When the baby arrivesThe rented house has its own stock: what is there, what is missing, without buying oil three times.

Do I have to scan every product?
No. The scanner pre-fills an entry, but everything can be typed in by hand too. Plenty of households only track twenty or thirty essentials. That is what makes it sustainable.
Does Radar count quantities precisely?
It tracks a quantity and a threshold that you adjust as you put things away or use them up. It is not a connected scale: it is a shared inventory, kept by the tribe.
Who gets the alerts?
The tribe. Whoever is doing the shopping sees the alert and adds the product to the list with one tap.
Can I track medicines or non-food items?
Yes. A « bathroom » or « medicine cabinet » zone works exactly like the fridge, with a threshold and a date.
What is free?
One zone (the fridge), thresholds, low-stock and expiry alerts, the « essential » flag. Extra zones, the scanner, list ↔ stock syncing and one-tap adding are Premium.
