## What is RecipeScan?

RecipeScan is your AI-powered kitchen companion. Snap your fridge, scan ingredients, plan your week, follow video recipes, and cook hands-free — all in one app, personalized to your household, your goals, and your dietary needs.

PANTRY SCAN
Photograph your fridge, pantry, or cabinet shelves. AI identifies every item with quantities, loads your inventory in one tap, shows what you can cook tonight, and builds a grocery list for what's missing.

SMART INGREDIENT SCANNING
Point your camera at any ingredient. AI identifies it on the spot and suggests recipes you can actually make right now. Stop staring at the fridge.

A DISCOVER FEED THAT KNOWS YOU - NEW
Tonight's planned meal and a daily pick chosen for your taste lead the page, with filter chips that know what's in your pantry. Recipe Reels, creators you follow, and this week's trending videos — playing right inside the app — are one tap away.

COOKING MODE WITH NAMED TIMERS - NEW
Big, readable steps with exact ingredient amounts inline — and every time in a step becomes its own named timer ("Simmer 10:00", "Bake 30:00") with a live countdown always in view. Swipe between steps, or go hands-free with voice control.

PORTIONS THAT FIT YOUR HOUSEHOLD - NEW
Tell RecipeScan how many you cook for and every recipe opens pre-scaled. Fine-tune with the stepper or the ½× to 3× multipliers — every amount recalculated for you.

GROCERY LISTS THAT SHOP LIKE YOU
Pick this week's recipes and AI tells you exactly what to buy — grouped by aisle, duplicates merged, each item showing which recipe it came from. Shareable with the family.

EFFORTLESS MEAL PLANNING
Plan a full week in seconds on clean day cards, or let AI auto-fill the week around your dietary preferences and skill level.

YOUR OWN DIETARY RULES - NEW
Beyond the standard diets, add your own restrictions — "no cilantro" is finally a setting. Every suggestion respects them.

AI CALORIE TRACKER
Snap a photo of your meal for instant calories and macros — review and edit before you save. Scan barcodes, describe meals by text or voice, or log a recipe you cooked in one tap.

MAKE EVERY RECIPE YOURS
Mark recipes as cooked to build streaks, add private notes to any ingredient or step, and send any ingredient to your grocery list in one tap.

NEVER LOSE A RECIPE
Recently Deleted keeps deleted recipes for 30 days — restore one or all. Premium backs your whole library up to your private iCloud.

BUILT FOR iPHONE & iPAD
A quick, honest setup learns your goals, household, and diet — with a clear trial timeline that tells you exactly what happens on day 5 and day 7. On iPad, run two windows side by side and drag recipes onto your cookbooks.

### 4.0 — 2026-08-14

A SMARTER DISCOVER
Tonight's planned meal and a daily pick made for you now lead the page — with filter chips that know what's in your pantry ("Your chicken").

NAMED COOKING TIMERS
Every time in a step becomes its own timer — "Simmer 10:00" and "Bake 30:00" side by side — with a live countdown always visible and times & temps highlighted right in the step.

PORTIONS THAT FIT YOUR HOUSEHOLD
Tell us how many you cook for (any number, 1–12) and every recipe opens pre-scaled. Fine-tune with the stepper right at the top of the ingredients.

MARK AS COOKED
Log a cook straight from the recipe page — it feeds your streaks and "cook again" suggestions without opening cooking mode.

A GROCERY LIST THAT SHOPS LIKE YOU
Your list is grouped by aisle, shows which planned recipes each item came from, and every ingredient has a one-tap add from any recipe.

YOUR OWN DIETARY RULES
Dietary preferences now have search and custom entries — "no cilantro" is finally a setting. Recipes and plans respect it everywhere.

A CLEANER PLANNER
The week is now readable day cards on iPhone — real thumbnails, one-tap add per meal, and grocery generation from the cart in the toolbar.

A CALMER CAMERA
The scanner got out of its own way: pick a mode from the tiles above the shutter and shoot. Same five modes, twice the viewfinder.

SETTINGS, PROPERLY
See your plan and renewal date on the new Subscription page, export your recipes and cookbooks with Download My Data, and find answers fast in the searchable help.

ALSO NEW
• A clear "how your free trial works" timeline — with a real day-5 reminder
• Heads-up before you use your last free scan, and reset dates if you hit a limit
• Restore All in Recently Deleted
• Cancel button on every AI analysis
• Fixed a launch freeze on slow iCloud days, plus dozens of iPhone & iPad polish fixes
