How it works
The closed kitchen loop
Other apps plan meals in the abstract and leave the bookkeeping to you. Here, each step feeds the next — and cooking closes the loop.
1
Stock the kitchen
Add groceries by camera, barcode, or hand. Everything gets a freshness window — how long it keeps, and where: fridge, freezer, pantry, counter.
2
Plan the week
Dinners are proposed from what you already own, expiring-first. You arrive to an answer, not a blank calendar.
3
Shop the gap
The list writes itself from the plan — only what's genuinely missing, never what's already in the door shelf.
4
Cook the meal
Guided cook mode walks the steps and quietly deducts what you used. Nobody bookkeeps the kitchen; cooking is the bookkeeping.
5
Rescue what's left
Anything about to turn gets a same-day plan: a meal, a freeze, a use-it-up idea. An invitation, never a guilt trip.
Cooking updates the kitchen, and the kitchen updates the plan. Nothing to maintain — the loop closes itself.
Surface by surface
Six parts, in the order you'd meet them. Each one hands its work to the next, which is the only reason the kitchen stays true without anyone tending it.
The kitchen
Everything you own, with a clock on it.
Three ways in
Photograph a fridge shelf, a grocery haul, or the receipt and it reads them into the pantry. Scan a barcode. Or type it — some nights that really is faster.
Freshness by place
Fridge, freezer, pantry and counter each keep their own time, and opening something shortens it. A jar of pesto stops being the same jar the moment it's open.
Leftovers count
Whatever didn't get eaten becomes a real item with its own short life — not a container that goes quiet at the back of the shelf.
Undo, always
Delete the wrong thing and it comes straight back. Nothing in here is a trap.
The recipe book
Your recipes, and a way to get more without typing them out.
Bring one in
Paste a link or a block of text and it comes back structured — real quantities, real units, nutrition attached.
Or ask for one
Tell it what you've got and it writes recipes for exactly that. One tap aims the same thing at the food that's about to turn.
Priced against your kitchen
Cost per serving from what you actually paid: your own receipts first, then national averages, then an estimate — and it says when it's guessing.
Send one to a friend
Publish a recipe to a link. Whoever opens it sees it priced against their kitchen and their prices, never yours.
The week
Seven days, already answered.
Readiness before you commit
Every meal on the plan says how much of it you already own — three of five ready — so a Tuesday you can't actually cook never makes it onto the week.
Plan my week
One tap drafts seven dinners: what's expiring goes first, what you cooked on Tuesday doesn't come back on Thursday, and the whole week stays inside your budget.
Who's cooking
Put a name on a night and everyone in the house can see it.
The list
Written by the plan, not by you.
Only the gap
The week's meals, minus what's in the kitchen, minus the staples you always keep on hand. You don't buy a second jar of cumin.
Running low
It learns how fast you get through things and says so before you run out. Wave one off and it stays quiet about that for a week. (Pro.)
The cost as you go
A running total against your weekly budget while you're still in the aisle, rather than a surprise at the till.
Putting the shopping away
Check things off and they land in the pantry with sensible dates, merged into whatever's already there.
Take it with you
Send the list to Reminders, Notes or a message, copy it, or print it.
Cook mode
The part that does the bookkeeping so you never have to.
Step by step
The screen stays awake and the ingredient list scales to however many you're actually feeding tonight.
On the lock screen
On iPhone, a Live Activity keeps the step you're on where you can see it without unlocking anything or washing your hands first.
The pantry updates itself
Finish, and it subtracts what you used — converting units on the way — marks the part-used things opened, and tells you plainly if something ran short.
And then leftovers
Two servings left over? It asks, and they become tomorrow's pantry item with a date on them.
Kitchen Rescue
A short, calm plan for the food on its last good day.
The urgent shelf
Everything worth your attention, ranked by how long it's got, whether it's open, how easily it spoils, and what it cost you.
Tonight and tomorrow
Two meals — the easiest ones that use up the most urgent food. Two, not a scroll of forty, because forty options is how food goes off.
One save, one buy
The one thing worth freezing or prepping today, and the single grocery item that unlocks the most meals from what you already have.
A tally, not a scolding
What you rescue adds up, in items and in pounds. Food that's already gone gets a quiet give-it-a-look lane and is never cooked with.
And the rest of it
What things cost
Your receipts first, then national averages, then an estimate. It'll also tell you which shop is cheapest for the things you actually buy.
One kitchen, shared
Invite the household with a code or a QR. The pantry, the plan and the list update for everyone at once. (Pro.)
A word before it turns
One daily notification, at a time you pick, and only when something is genuinely on its way out. On phones.
Find anything
One search across the pantry, the recipe book and the week ahead. ⌘K on the web.
When the signal drops
Changes queue up on the device and sync themselves when you're back. Nothing waits on a spinner.
Your Kitchen, Wrapped
Meals cooked, money saved, the ingredient you rescued most, the food you actually cook. It waits until there's something worth celebrating.
Five themes
Daylight and Candlelight, following the sun if you like. Three more come with Pro.
iPhone, Android, web
One kitchen, built once, on whichever you happen to be holding.
