## What is Kivella?

Kivella keeps your pantry, recipes, meal plan and grocery list in one place, so you can see what you already have, cook from it and buy only what's missing.

KNOW WHAT'S IN YOUR PANTRY
Keep a food inventory with quantities, categories and expiration dates. Kivella suggests an editable expiration date when you add an item and shows what's expiring soon, with recipe ideas to use it up. Scan a product barcode or a grocery receipt to add items faster, then review them before they're saved.

SAVE AND ORGANIZE YOUR RECIPES
Your recipe keeper: add your own recipes, import from supported recipe websites, or save recipes from YouTube, TikTok and Instagram posts when the caption or description includes the recipe. Photograph a printed recipe to turn it into an editable draft. Organize recipes into collections, search by title or ingredient, scale servings and cook step by step with timers.

COOK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
Every recipe shows which ingredients you have, which you have some of and which are missing. Kivella ranks your saved recipes by what's in your pantry, and the AI Chef suggests ideas from your ingredients. When you cook, Kivella can take the ingredients out of your pantry, with undo. Save leftovers and add them to your plan.

PLAN THE WEEK, SHOP FOR WHAT'S MISSING
Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in a weekly meal planner, including leftovers and nights out. Kivella checks the whole week's plan against your pantry, scaled to your servings, and adds only the shortfall to your grocery list. Items are grouped by category, and checked-off groceries can go straight back into your pantry.

SHARE YOUR HOUSEHOLD
With Kivella Pro, up to five people share one pantry, meal plan and shopping list, with changes synced between phones.

LOG MEALS AND NUTRITION
Log what you eat from your recipes, pantry items or a description, or take a food photo for an estimated calorie and macro breakdown. Adjust the portion and values before saving. Photo results are estimates; always check dietary and allergy information yourself.

FREE TO START, WITH OPTIONAL PRO
Pantry inventory, recipes, meal planning, grocery lists and nutrition logging are free. Free accounts include small allowances for scanning, imports and AI features. Kivella Pro adds household sharing, online recipe search and higher allowances. Every plan has usage limits; Pro does not include unlimited AI use. Current allowances, plans and local prices are shown in the app before purchase.
