Your kitchen. All together. Start with the food you already bought. Clove AI brings your pantry, dinner ideas and grocery list into one place on iPhone and iPad. KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE Keep ingredients, quantities and the dates you enter on your shelf. Add groceries manually, by reviewed voice or typed entry, or from a grocery or receipt photo. Check detected names and amounts before saving. FIND YOUR NEXT DINNER IDEA Ask Chef for ideas using your shelf and dietary preferences. Browse recipes, check portions and ingredients, then follow the cooking method step by step. Keep a kitchen timer and Live Activity close while you cook. MAKE ONE CLEAR SHOPPING LIST Keep missing ingredients, amounts and units together. Add your own estimated prices when useful. Unknown prices stay unknown, and partial totals show how many items are priced. KEEP GOOD FOOD ON YOUR RADAR Choose reminders for the expiry dates you record. Log food used or wasted, including partial quantities, and review your entries in Lab. Reminders help organise dates; they do not determine food safety. Lab values are estimates from your entries, not verified cash savings. A LITTLE HELP, WHERE YOU NEED IT Use shelf, shopping and food-use widgets, plus supported Siri and Shortcuts actions. Enjoy layouts that adapt to iPhone, iPad, window width and larger text. GOOD TO KNOW Local pantry and shopping entry work offline. On-device voice recognition is available for supported devices and languages after any required language download; typing remains available. AI, scans, new recipe requests and guest backup need internet. Clove asks permission before cloud AI and recipe processing. Guest backup belongs to this installation; account-based cross-device recovery is not currently available. Review ingredients and dietary information yourself, especially for allergies. Halal and Kosher preferences show plant-based alternatives; recipes are not certified for those diets. Clove is free to download with optional Clove Pro subscriptions. The free plan includes up to 15 pantry items, four Chef requests, two scans and one new recipe request per day. Plans show current prices and eligible offers before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple account settings.

A kitchen that knows what’s in it — and a cookbook that asks what you’d like to cook tonight. Photograph your shelf and Ooey identifies what’s there, then helps you cook a real dinner from the food you already own. Less waste. Less “what’s for dinner?” Most people throw out food they meant to eat — not because they don’t care, but because it’s hard to remember what’s in the back of the fridge. Ooey fixes the part that’s actually broken: knowing what you have, and turning it into dinner. HOW IT WORKS 1. Photograph the shelf. Point your camera at the Pantry, Fridge, or Freezer. Ooey identifies the items and adds them for you, so you don’t type rows of groceries. 2. Cook with the AI. Tell Ooey what you’re in the mood for. It suggests recipes built around what you actually have, and flags the few things you’d need to buy. 3. Cook the recipe. Cook mode clears the screen and walks you through in short phases — gather what you need, prep, then cook. Press and hold a step with a cook time to start a timer for it. No clutter, no ten-page backstory. WHAT YOU GET • Home — what you can cook tonight from what you have, what’s expiring, and what still needs a place in your kitchen. • Snap-to-add — build your kitchen inventory from photos, or add items by hand. • AI recipes from your shelf — meals built around what you own, not a generic feed. • Shopping list — the missing items from a recipe, deduplicated so you don’t buy the same thing twice. • Expiring this week — see what’s nearing its best-by date in your kitchen, and cook it before it’s tossed. • Recipe import — paste a recipe link or a photo and Ooey reads it in. • Full ingredient lists — every recipe shows what’s in it, so you can check it yourself. PRIVACY, BY DESIGN Ooey doesn’t run ads, doesn’t sell your data, and doesn’t track you across other apps. Sign in with a magic link or a passkey — no passwords to remember. Photos used for scanning are processed to identify ingredients and are not kept. You can delete your account and all of your data, in seconds, right from Settings. A NOTE ON ALLERGIES Ooey does not filter recipes for allergens in this version, and there is no setting for your allergies — you haven’t missed it. What Ooey gives you is the ingredient list, which is information, not a safety check. If you have a food allergy, read the label on the package. Made in Brooklyn. ooey gooey.
