Pick & Cook — Stop asking "what's for dinner?" The hardest decision of your day isn't work. It's dinner. You open the fridge: wilted spinach, half a carton of eggs, that chicken from last week. So you order takeout again. Pick & Cook uses what you already have so nothing goes to waste. Snap a receipt, skip the typing Photograph your grocery receipt and our AI logs every item, quantity, and expiry date — no manual entry. Ask Nomi what to cook Tell Nomi you want something spicy, light, or 15-minutes-flat. She picks a recipe from 22 cuisines that matches what's actually in your kitchen. One-tap cooking mode Step-by-step instructions with built-in timers. When you're done, ingredients auto-deduct from your pantry — inventory stays accurate. The smartest shopping list "Buy these 3 items and unlock 5 dinners this week" — not just a list, a plan. Allergies & dietary needs Top 9 allergens plus custom flags. Halal, vegan, low-carb supported. Every recipe is tagged. See what you saved Your home screen shows "~$X of food rescued this month" — the satisfaction of not throwing money in the trash. Built for: Dual-income families with no time to plan Solo dwellers tired of wasting groceries Households with allergies or dietary restrictions New cooks who want to actually start Free to download.
