Chefless keeps the recipes you cook, helps you plan your meals, and turns that plan into a shopping list. Use it on your own or with the people you cook for. Bring in recipes from anywhere Paste a link from a recipe website, or from a public social media post with the recipe in its caption. You can also paste the recipe text, or take photos of a cookbook page, a screenshot, or a handwritten card, up to four pages at a time. You check each recipe before you save it. Chefless marks anything unclear for you to look at and leaves a missing amount blank for you to fill in. Keep recipes the way you like them A recipe can hold up to five photos, ingredients, steps, cooking times, servings, and tags for diet, cuisine, and meal. You decide whether each recipe is private or shared. Sign your recipes in your own handwriting and group them into cookbooks. You can also make your own version of another cook's recipe, called a remix, and their name stays on it as the original. Plan meals together in a Kitchen A Kitchen is a shared space where your household plans meals and shops together. Everyone sees the same meal calendar. Members suggest meals, and the Kitchen lead, or someone the lead chooses, approves them. Members can say whether they are coming to a meal, and the lead can tell everyone the food is ready with one tap. People join with an invite code, and your private recipes stay visible only to you. Plan the week and shop once Look at your plan by week, month, or year, and give each planned meal its own number of servings. Make one shopping list from your plan or your Kitchen's plan for the days you pick, and Chefless adds repeated ingredients together. When the plan changes, update the list. It keeps the items you checked and the things you added yourself. Cook mode Cook mode shows you one step at a time. Start a timer and Chefless alerts you when it finishes, as long as you allow notifications. The amounts follow the servings you choose and can show in metric or imperial units, and your screen stays on while you cook. Find something new to cook Follow other cooks and see what they make. Browse For You, Trending, Friends, and Seasonal, or search by cuisine, dietary need, meal, and cooking time. Chefless lists cuisines from your part of the world first, using the region setting on your phone. Comment on recipes, post a photo of a dish you made, and rate the recipes you cook. Your passport collects a stamp for each cuisine you cook. Your language and your privacy Chefless works in English, Arabic, Turkish, and Spanish. You can make your account and your recipes private, and report a recipe, comment, or profile that should not be there. You can also delete your account and its data from Settings. You will not see ads.
