KitchenWise is a smart kitchen assistant. It keeps track of everything you have and tells you what to do with it: what to cook tonight, what to use first, what to pick up on the way home. IT KEEPS TRACK SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO Your fridge, freezer and pantry in one place, arranged by shelf and by how long each item has left. Every item gets a realistic shelf life the moment it's added, adjusted for where you put it. Tap any item to see what's actually in it: calories, protein, carbs, fat, salt and sugar per 100g. IT RECOMMENDS WHAT TO COOK Over 1,400 recipes, ranked by how much of each one is already in your kitchen — and moved up the list when it uses something about to run out. Every ingredient is marked as owned or missing before you start, and the missing ones go to your shopping list in a tap. Expired items never appear in a suggestion. IT REMINDS YOU IN TIME A notification on the day something needs eating, not the day after. Reminders are grouped rather than fired one per item, so a full fridge doesn't mean twenty buzzes — and they arrive in your language. ASK IT ANYTHING An assistant that already knows what's in your kitchen. Ask what to make with what's left, what to do with half a cabbage, what to buy for the week, or what to cook for four people tonight. ADDING TAKES SECONDS Photograph a shelf, a single item or a whole fridge and confirm what it found. Scan a receipt after the shop, or a barcode in the aisle. Say it out loud. Or search a catalogue of everyday foods and branded supermarket products. IT PLANS THE WEEK Build a meal plan around what you already own, and let the shopping list fill itself with whatever is missing. IT SHOWS YOU THE PATTERN A monthly report of what you ate in time and what you didn't, and which foods keep catching you out. Not a scolding — three things worth buying smaller. TURKISH AND ENGLISH, PROPERLY Not a translated menu over an English app. Product names, recipes, reminders and the assistant all work in both languages, including 280+ Turkish recipes and branded products from Turkish supermarkets. The app opens in your phone's language and you can switch any time. YOUR KITCHEN IS YOURS Use KitchenWise without an account — a guest kitchen lives on your phone. Create a free account and it follows you to your next device. Delete your account from inside the app or from our website, and your data goes with it. FREE, WITH OPTIONAL PLANS Tracking, reminders, recipe recommendations, the shopping list, the meal plan and the waste report are free and stay free. The features that run on our servers — the assistant, voice adding, receipt scanning and photo adding — come with a monthly allowance on the free plan. Pro doubles it and Extra gives five times, as auto-renewing monthly subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.
