Cook ahead. Plan your week. Keep every recipe in one place. Pinch brings batch cooking, meal planning and recipe saving into one practical routine. Prepare several meals in one cooking session or cook day by day, with a plan built around your budget, tastes and schedule. BATCH COOKING THAT FITS YOUR WEEK Choose your prep day, the meals you want planned and how many people you are cooking for. Pinch creates make-ahead recipes with ingredient quantities for the whole batch, then schedules the portions across your week. Follow storage, freezing and reheating guidance, and mark batches as prepared as you finish. YOUR OWN MEAL PLANNER Plan breakfast, lunch and dinner around your dietary preferences, declared allergies, available cooking time and kitchen equipment. Set a weekly budget, keep meals you love and replace the ones you want to change. Ingredient costs are estimates, so actual grocery prices may vary. ONE GROCERY LIST, CONNECTED TO THE PLAN Ingredients from your planned recipes come together automatically in a grocery list. Check what you already have, add anything extra and tick off purchases as you shop. Your pantry inventory helps you plan with ingredients already in your kitchen. A RECIPE VAULT FOR THE FOOD YOU LOVE Save a recipe from a public link, scan a cookbook page or screenshot, or add your own recipe manually. Organize recipes into collections and keep ingredients and instructions together. Your recipe keeper becomes a useful part of planning, instead of another folder of forgotten screenshots. COOK WITH YOUR HANDS FREE Follow each recipe in cooking mode, set timers and keep the screen awake while you prepare your food. Listen to the steps and use English voice commands to move through instructions when your hands are busy. WITH PINCH, YOU CAN: • Create a personalized weekly meal plan • Choose batch cooking or daily meal planning • Scale recipes for your household and weekly portions • Follow storage, freezing and reheating instructions • Generate a grocery list from your meals • Keep track of pantry ingredients • Import, save and organize recipes • Use step-by-step cooking mode with timers and narration Whether you are preparing lunches for work, sorting family dinners or deciding what to cook with ingredients you already have, Pinch helps turn your ideas into a clear weekly menu.
