## What is OpenPantry?

Tired of deciding what's for dinner? Losing recipes you saved on TikTok and Instagram? Throwing out groceries you forgot you had?

OpenPantry makes planning the week's meals simple!

Key Features:
• Weekly menu: In seconds, get a week of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners planned for you, with leftovers built in to reduce how often you cook. Anything you add to your menu is automatically added to your Shopping List.
• Pantry: OpenPantry tracks what's in your pantry, prioritizes meals you can make right now, and flags ingredients before they expire.
• Save recipes: Paste a link, share a TikTok or Instagram post straight to the app, or snap a photo of a cookbook page or handwritten card, and it lands in your library — ingredients, steps, and all — in seconds. To import recipes, we use AI, and for every 10 recipes you import in a month, we make a donation to help offset water costs.
• Me-ify: Instantly adapt any recipe to your diet (e.g., vegan, gluten-free, keto, dairy-free, vegetarian), and have OpenPantry suggest real swaps for ingredients you don't love (e.g., sour cream → Greek yogurt).

WHAT'S NOT IN OPENPANTRY

No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. Your recipes live on your device and sync to your private iCloud — Apple's servers, not ours. We have no idea who you are, and we like it that way.

Simply put, OpenPantry is built for people who cook.
