What SpoilSafe does

The power just went out. Two questions start costing you money immediately: what in the fridge and freezer is still safe, and how do you prove what you lost. SpoilSafe answers both — entirely offline, because the moment you need it is exactly the moment your Wi-Fi is dead. Start the outage clock the moment the lights go out, or backdate it if you woke up to a dark house — the app helps you set an honest earliest-possible start time so the safety math stays conservative. From there, SpoilSafe runs the official USDA rules against your timeline: a full fridge holds safe temperatures for about 4 hours, a full freezer for 48 hours (24 if half full), and every category of food has its own disposition once those windows close. Instead of arguing over $400 of meat with zero facts, you get an item-by-item verdict — keep, use immediately, or discard — sourced from USDA FSIS and foodsafety.gov charts bundled inside the app. Then comes the part almost everyone eats as a loss. Most homeowners and renters policies reimburse spoiled food after a covered outage, but adjusters ask for an itemized list with photos and replacement prices — and by then everything is in the dumpster. SpoilSafe turns the discard pile into a claim: photograph each item as you toss it, log the quantity and replacement value, and generate a clean, itemized spoilage report as a PDF you can attach to any claim or send straight to your adjuster. It is honest about the fine print too: spoilage coverage is often subject to your deductible, so the report is built to slot into a larger storm claim where it actually pays. Between storms, SpoilSafe becomes your freezer ledger. Hunters, bulk buyers, and anyone with a chest freezer can keep a running inventory with photos and values — so if the grid fails while you are on vacation, the documentation already exists. Every outage is saved to history with its timeline, verdicts, and losses, so repeat events on a shaky grid build a paper trail.
