About

CookFuse

Most food is thrown away because nobody remembers it is there. CookFuse turns your groceries into meals you can actually cook tonight. SCAN YOUR RECEIPT Photograph the receipt after shopping. Text recognition runs on your device — the photo is never uploaded. Lines the app cannot place are sent as plain text to our own server for matching. No photo, no total, no store, nothing that points back to you. You correct every line before anything is added. BUILT FOR GERMAN AND AUSTRIAN RECEIPTS Regional product names are built in, not translated — the app knows Paradeiser is a tomato and Faschiertes is minced meat. Deposit and discount lines are recognised for what they are. BARCODES TOO Scan a barcode and the product name and category come from Open Food Facts. COOK FROM WHAT YOU HAVE 200 recipes, checked line by line. The app shows what is cookable right now, what is one ingredient away, and what will expire soon. Choose a dish, see exactly which ingredients get used up, cook, done — your pantry updates itself. NOTHING SPOILS UNNOTICED Add expiry dates and get a quiet daily reminder before food goes bad. Scheduled locally on your device, no push service involved. BEST BEFORE IS NOT USE BY Pasta past its best-before date is usually fine — the app will not push you to throw it out. Raw mince, poultry and fish carry a use-by date instead: past it, CookFuse stops suggesting them and says plainly that they are no longer safe. A WEEK THAT PLANS ITSELF Fill breakfast, lunch and dinner for the whole week with one tap, built from what you already own. The shopping list keeps what is truly missing separate from what is merely suggested. DICTATE INSTEAD OF TYPING Say your ingredients out loud. Recognition runs on your device once your iPhone has downloaded the offline speech model; until then Apple's dictation service handles it. Your audio goes to Apple — never to us, and CookFuse stores none of it. FREE, WITHOUT A CATCH Receipt scanning, barcode scanning, pantry, all 200 recipes, the weekly planner and the shopping list are free for everyone. No ads, no analytics SDK, no cross-app tracking. No account — your data lives on your iPhone. COOKFUSE PLUS — 3.99, ONCE - Add up to 50 of your own recipes. They count everywhere: pot, planner, shopping list. - Pantry-only planning: fill the week strictly from what you have — zero shopping. - Your stats: ingredients rescued, money saved, meals cooked, week by week. One payment through the App Store. No subscription, no recurring charges. German and English. iPhone, iOS 16 or newer. Dark mode included. Nutrition values are catalogue estimates for orientation, not medical advice. Recipe images by TheMealDB.

Verdict

The call

Miso and CookFuse are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
