- Why do you need a reminder to buy gloves when you are holding them?

- Why do you need price trackers for airbnb? It is not a superliquid market with daily price swings.

- Cataloguing your fridge requires taking pictures of everything you add and remove which seems... tedious. Just remember what you have?

- Can you not prepare for the next day by opening your calendar?

- If you have reminders for everything (responding to texts, buying gloves, whatever else is not important to you), don't you just push the problem of notification overload to reminder overload? Maybe you can get clawdbot to remind you to check your reminders. Better yet, summarize them.

I agree that removing items and taking pictures takes more effort than it saves, but I would use a simpler solution if one existed because it turns out I cannot remember what we have. When my partner goes to the store I get periodic text messages from them asking how much X we have and to check I look in the fridge or pantry in the kitchen and then go downstairs to the fridge or pantry in the basement.

> Can you not prepare for the next day by opening your calendar?

In the morning I typically check my work calendar, my personal calendar, the shared family calendar, and the kids' various school calendars. It would be convenient to have these aggregated. (Copying events or sending new events to all of the calendars works well until I forget and one slips through the cracks...)

> If you have reminders for everything (responding to texts, buying gloves, whatever else is not important to you), don't you just push the problem of notification overload to reminder overload?

Yes, this is the problem I have. This doesn't look like a suitable solution for me, but I understand the need.

Fridge cataloging is actually a great use case for image recognition, the problem is fridges no accommodations to power accessories inside them.

I have a couple of temperature sensors to alert Home Assistant if the fridge gets too warm. It would be easy and cheap to add some ESP32-camera modules to track contents...but there's no way to power them nicely (I simply don't know where I could pull USB power through).

You can only track what containers are in the fridge, not how much is left or if it’s expired. “Automated” pantry or fridge tracking is just not possible and requires way more effort than just writing “mustard” on the shopping list when you notice you’re low.
