Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Built for people who want to cook from what's already there.

Search by what you have

Type your ingredients, get real matches ranked by fit — not recipes that need six things you don't own.

Diet-aware

Filter by vegan, vegetarian, or see everything. Diet compatibility is inferred from real ingredients, not guesswork.

Cook mode

One step at a time, big readable text, inline timers when a step needs one. Built for a counter, not a desk.

Save and revisit

Bookmark any recipe. Saved recipes and search history live on the home screen, always a click away.

Countertop and shelves

Your pantry splits itself into what you use often and what's tucked further back — no manual sorting.

Every recipe, attributed

Every result links back to its original source — the full author's voice, photos, and reviews are one click away.

Search that actually fits

Every result shows a match percentage and which ingredients you already have versus what you'd need to buy. No more scrolling past recipes that need a trip to the store.

Filter by vegan, vegetarian, or see everything — diet badges are inferred from the actual ingredient list.

Save what you'll actually make

Bookmark any recipe with one tap. Saved recipes live on the home screen as a small offline cookbook — no internet required to read them back.

Cook mode, built for the counter

One step at a time in large, readable text. Ingredients for the current step are pulled out automatically. When a step mentions a time, a tappable timer appears right there.
