Stockpile Tracking × Earthquake Alerts × Offline-Ready
Enter your household size, pets, and allergies, and BICHIKU automatically calculates how much you need to stock, based on Japanese government guidelines. Scan a barcode or snap a photo to log items and expiry dates on the spot. Your ledger stays with you even without signal or power.
Why stockpiling doesn't stick
Home disaster preparedness usually fails not for lack of intent, but for lack of a system. BICHIKU is built around these four specific breakdowns.
A box pushed to the back of a closet. You can't remember the last time you checked what's inside.
Expiry dates start ticking the moment you buy something. Almost nobody keeps up a regular check.
"Three days of water" sounds familiar — but few people can say exactly how many liters that means for a family of four.
Only the person who bought it knows what's there. Without sharing, you end up with duplicates of some things and none of what you actually need.
How it works
Enter household size, pets, and allergies. BICHIKU automatically calculates what you need, based on government guidelines.
Scan a barcode, photograph the expiry date, or type it in by hand — whichever is fastest for that item.
See how well-stocked each category is at a glance. Open the ledger and shortfalls are immediately obvious.
Get notified 90, 30, and 7 days before expiry — and when it's time to restock as part of your rolling-stock cycle.
Only in BICHIKU
When an earthquake of seismic intensity 4 or higher is detected, BICHIKU notifies you on the spot to check your stockpile. And if a power outage or network failure cuts off your signal, your most recently synced ledger still stays right where you left it. Preparedness matters not on the day you shopped, but in the moment you actually need it.
What you can do
Start using it the moment you download it. Your data lives on your device — create an account only when you want to share with family.
Not in competing appsScan a product barcode and the name and photo are fetched automatically — no more typing it all in by hand.
Just photograph the best-by or use-by date and it's recognized automatically — no more typos on the date.
See how much you have against what your household needs, broken down by category. Shortfalls are obvious immediately.
Use it, then buy more. The app guides this whole cycle so your stockpile keeps turning over without waste.

Invite your family and see who's managing what — no more duplicate purchases or missed essentials.
Even with the power out and no network, your most recent ledger stays viewable, with the last-updated time shown, while conserving battery.
Not in competing appsWhen an earthquake of intensity 4 or higher is detected, you get a notification prompting you to check your stock — built for the moment the power goes out.
