## What is Chefless?

Chefless keeps the recipes you cook, plans the week with the people you cook for, turns that plan into one shopping list, and lets you share a photo of every meal.

Bring in recipes from anywhere
Paste a link from a recipe website or a public social media post with the recipe in its caption. Or paste the text, or take photos of a cookbook page, a screenshot, or a handwritten card, up to four at a time. You check each recipe before you save it, and a missing amount stays blank for you to fill in.

Keep recipes the way you like them
A recipe can hold up to five photos, ingredients, steps, cooking times, servings, and tags for diet, cuisine, and meal. You decide whether each recipe is private or shared, and group recipes into cookbooks. You can also make your own version of another cook's recipe, called a remix, and their name stays on it as the original.

Plan meals together in a Kitchen
A Kitchen is where your household plans meals and shops together, on one shared calendar. Members suggest meals, and the Head Chef, or someone they choose, approves them. Members say whether they are coming, and the Head Chef can tell everyone the food is ready. Invite people with a link, and your private recipes stay visible only to you.

Plan the week and shop once
See your plan by week, month, or year, and give each meal its own number of servings. Plan leftovers when you cook once and eat twice, or copy a week your family liked. Make one shopping list from your plan or your Kitchen's plan for the days you pick. Chefless adds repeated ingredients together and can group them by aisle. When the plan changes, update the list: it keeps what you checked and what you added. Send what is left to buy to anyone.

Plates
Snap a photo of each meal and share it with your followers and your Kitchen, or keep it just for you. Link a plate to a recipe to show you cooked it. Friends react with Yum, Chef's kiss, I want this, or Wow. Your profile keeps a calendar of your plates, a recap of each month, and a year collage you can share.

Cook mode
Cook mode shows one step at a time, with timers that alert you when they finish (allow notifications). Amounts follow your servings, in metric or imperial, and your screen stays on.

Find something new to cook
Home opens on the newest recipes people shared, with cooks to follow and ideas for your next dinner. Pick a @username, follow friends, mention them in comments, and share a recipe or a plate as a story card. Search by cuisine, dietary need, meal, and cooking time. Your passport collects a stamp for each cuisine you cook.

Your language and your privacy
Chefless works in English, Arabic, Turkish, and Spanish. Keep your account and recipes private, block people, and report anything that does not belong. Delete your account and its data from Settings. You will not see ads.

Free and Chefless Premium
A free account includes up to five recipes (your own and saved ones together), one remix, one cookbook, planning from two days before today to two days after, and a Kitchen with up to two members. Cook mode, Plates, shopping lists, following other cooks, and the passport cost nothing.

Chefless Premium gives you unlimited recipes, remixes, and cookbooks, the full calendar, and unlimited members in a Kitchen you lead. You also get the AI Recipe Helper to write a recipe from ingredients you have, suggest swaps for a dietary need, or turn rough notes into a tidy recipe. It shares a limit of 20 uses a day with imports that read a photo, a caption, or pasted text. Pantry and What You Can Cook show you the recipes you can make with what is in your kitchen. Chefless Premium costs $5.99 a month or $34.99 a year. Your subscription renews until you cancel it. To stop the next charge, cancel in your account settings at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
