Setting up expiry reminders

Milk First help center · Updated July 2026

Quick answer: Settings → Reminders → Expiry reminders (a Pro feature). You get a notification the morning before any container reaches best-by, and short-window milk (fridge, thawed) gets warned hours ahead. A separate freeze-it nudge flags fridge milk on day 3, while freezing still saves it.

Warnings designed to be actionable

An alert after milk dies is an obituary. Milk First's warnings arrive while the fix still exists: use tonight, or freeze now. Quiet hours are respected, so day-before warnings land at 9 AM, never 3 AM, and each notification names the bag, its location, and its deadline.

Tune it to your rules

Reminders follow whichever storage preset you chose: CDC, conservative, or custom windows. Change the rules and every deadline (and its warning) recomputes across the stash instantly.
