• Scan a package label for products it doesn't know, including the nutrition panel

RECIPES
• Keep your recipe library in one place
• Import recipes from a link, pasted text or a photo of a cookbook page
• See which recipes you can make with what you already have
• Nutrition per serving and easy sharing

COOK
• Recipes ranked by what's in your pantry
• Cook mode with step timers
• Ingredients are deducted from your pantry when you're done

SHOPPING
• An aisle-grouped shopping list
• Put purchases straight into your pantry

APPLE INTELLIGENCE

• Reads package labels and recipe text for you
• Ask questions while you cook

YOUR DATA, YOUR WAY
