Introducing Pantry Cook

No. You can start right away in Guest Mode without signing up, and your pantry, recipes, and shopping lists are saved on your device. When you're ready, create a free account with your email, Google, or Apple ID from Settings and everything you added as a guest moves over automatically. Guest data lives only on your device, so it can be lost if you uninstall the app or switch phones.

Free includes camera scanning, unlimited pantry items, custom recipes, the shopping list, free AI recipe generations each week, and up to 3 AI recipe photos per week. Premium adds high-volume recipe generation, up to 25 recipe photos a day, push notifications before food expires, advanced statistics, and an ad-free experience. Family Pro adds household pantry sharing on top of that. See Pricing for plans and prices.

Coins are a reward for checking in. You earn 5 coins for each daily check-in and a 15 coin bonus when you complete a 7-day streak. Free users can spend 100 coins to reset their weekly recipe generations or 150 coins to reset their weekly recipe photos, instead of waiting for the weekly reset.

Pantry Cook is available in English, Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, and Swedish.

Tap the camera icon in the pantry search bar to scan a single item, a barcode, a store receipt, or whole pantry, fridge, or freezer shelves to add several items at once. Camera scanning is free for all users. You can also type an item name in the search bar, pick from the suggestions, and set its quantity, category, and expiration date.

Every item is color-coded by freshness: green when it has 8 or more days left, yellow at 3 to 7 days, orange at 1 to 2 days, and red when it expires today or has already expired. AI recipes prioritize ingredients that are expiring soon, and Premium subscribers can turn on push notifications to be alerted before items expire.

Yes, with the Family Pro plan. You can invite up to 2 family members, for 3 people in total, with a QR code or link from Settings > Shared Pantry. Everyone shares the same pantry and shopping lists, changes show up for everyone in real time, and every member gets the paid features. Each person needs an account to join.

Open the Recipes tab and tap Generate Recipe. Choose which pantry ingredients to use, a cuisine, your dietary preferences, and how much time you have, then tap Generate. You get a full recipe with step-by-step instructions and cooking timers.

Yes. Set your preferences in Settings > Profile > My Preferences, with options such as vegetarian, vegan, keto, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free, and recipes will be generated with them in mind. Recipes are AI-generated, so always double-check the ingredients if you have an allergy or intolerance.

Cooking Mode turns any recipe into a distraction-free, step-by-step guide. It keeps your screen awake, gives you an ingredient checklist, shows one step at a time in large text, and has built-in timers for steps that need them. When you mark the recipe as cooked, the ingredients you used are deducted from your pantry.

You can add items by scanning a product with the camera, by searching, by sending a recipe's missing ingredients to the list, or by moving expired and low items over from your pantry. Check items off as you shop, then tap Add All to Pantry to move everything you bought into your pantry.

With a registered account, yes. Changes sync in real time across your phones and tablets, your data is backed up in the cloud, and anything you change while offline syncs once you're back online. In Guest Mode your data stays on your device only.

Subscriptions are managed by the store you purchased from. On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your Apple ID, then Subscriptions, and select Pantry Cook. On Android, open the Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions, and select Pantry Cook. You keep your paid features until the end of the current billing period. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before that period ends.

Go to Settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap Delete Account. This is permanent and removes your pantry items, recipes, shopping lists, and cloud backups, which are erased from our servers within 30 days. See our Privacy Policy for more.

We never sell your personal data. Guest data stays on your device. For registered accounts we store your email, display name, and the pantry items, recipes, and shopping lists you back up, along with anonymous crash diagnostics. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
