Kitchen Plus- Know what's in your kitchen. Waste less. Cook smarter. Kitchen Plus turns your fridge, freezer, and pantry into a living inventory, so you always know what you have, what's about to go off, and what to cook with it tonight. Photograph a grocery receipt and Kitchen Plus reads it, sorting every item onto the right shelf and into the right category. No typing, no spreadsheets. NEVER LOSE TRACK OF FRESHNESS Every item is tracked from the day you bought it, so Kitchen Plus can tell you what's fresh, what's ageing, and what to use soon, before it ends up in the bin. Shelf life is per food, not a rough guess by category, so a sealed can and a bag of spinach are not treated the same. RECIPES BUILT AROUND WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN Kitchen Plus matches thousands of recipes across six cuisines to the ingredients sitting in your kitchen right now, putting food that needs using first at the top. Every recipe shows exactly how many ingredients you already have, and the ones you're missing go to your shopping list in one tap. CALORIES THAT LOG THEMSELVES Because Kitchen Plus knows what came off your shelves, cooking a meal records what you ate without you typing anything. Say how many portions you had and it does the rest. Ate somewhere else? Photograph the plate, say it out loud, or type it. Every figure comes from a nutrient table rather than a guess, and the app tells you when it couldn't work something out instead of inventing a number. PLAN YOUR WEEK, NOT JUST YOUR NEXT MEAL Schedule dishes across the days ahead, adjust servings, and keep shopping and cooking in step with what you actually planned. A SMARTER SHOPPING LIST Add ingredients from any recipe in sensible quantities. Check things off as you shop and watch them land in your inventory. Scan a barcode to add a product, or save a recipe from a link or a cooking video and Kitchen Plus reads the ingredients out of it for you. SEE WHERE YOUR FOOD AND MONEY GO Track what you rescued from going to waste, what you spent, what you cooked, and how your week balanced across food groups. PRIVACY Your inventory, receipts and personal data are private to your account and protected by server-side rules. Photographs are read and stay on your phone. If you leave "Share prices anonymously" switched on, the price you paid for a grocery, the shop and the day go into a shared pool so everyone's shopping list starts at a realistic price; nothing identifying you is ever included, and you can switch it off at any time. The full privacy policy is linked below. FREE AND KITCHEN PLUS PRO Running your kitchen by hand is always free: adding groceries, barcodes, your shelves, Cook, the planner, the shopping list, Quick log and the Meals page. Kitchen Plus Pro adds everything the camera and a link can do for you: scanning receipts, adding food from a photo, calories from a meal photo, and importing recipes from videos and links. Every new account gets 7 days of Pro free, with no card required. Kitchen Plus Pro is $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://gen-lang-client-0405315489.web.app/privacy Whether you're trying to cut down on food waste, eat better with what you already have, or just stop forgetting what's at the back of the freezer, Kitchen Plus keeps your kitchen organised and your meals one step ahead.
