## What is Meal?

MealMaker turns a photo of your fridge into dinner. Snap your fridge, pantry, or countertop, and Apple Intelligence identifies your ingredients and writes three recipes you can cook in 30 minutes or less.

REQUIRES APPLE INTELLIGENCE
MealMaker runs entirely on Apple Intelligence. It needs an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, running iOS 27 or later, with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings.

HOW IT WORKS
• Snap: take photos or pick them from your library. A few angles help it find more.
• Check: Apple Intelligence lists the ingredients it found. Turn off anything it got wrong and add what it missed.
• Cook: get three recipes — the quickest, the most balanced, and one that uses up the most of what you have.

BUILT FOR REAL KITCHENS
• Your diet, respected: vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, or nut-free. Set it once and every recipe follows it.
• Cooking mode: one step at a time in large text, with read-aloud and a timer that picks up the minutes from each step.
• Smart suggestions: budget mode, in-season produce, a maximum cooking time, and recipes that vary from what you made recently.
• Pantry that nudges you: track what you have and when it expires, and use things up before they go bad.
• Plan the week: save favorites, add meals to a weekly plan, and share one combined grocery list.
• Nutrition at a glance: calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fiber for each recipe.
• iPhone Duo: unfolded, MealMaker uses the larger screen to show recipes side by side.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no ads, and no tracking. Your photos and recipe requests are handled by Apple's Private Cloud Compute or by the Apple Intelligence model on your iPhone, and your favorites, history, meal plan, and pantry stay on your device.

SUBSCRIPTION
Your first 3 scans are free, with no subscription needed. After that, MealMaker needs a subscription: $6.99 a month or $49.99 a year, with a one-week free trial for new subscribers. Prices are in US dollars and vary by country.
Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the free trial ends. If you cancel during the trial, you won't be charged. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and renewal is charged within the 24 hours before it ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions, or from Settings in MealMaker.
