About

Scratch

Read full description

Scratch is a recipe and pantry app that put everything I wanted in one place. Track ingredients, plan your meals, and simplify your grocery list. Pantry Tracker Keep track of what is in your kitchen without doing a full inventory every time. Mark things as in stock or out of stock as you notice them running low, whether that is cooking ingredients or just everyday things like trash bags. Anything you mark out of stock goes on your grocery list automatically. Recipes Build and save your own recipes with step by step instructions, ingredients, and tags. Scratch can also suggest recipes based on what you already have on hand so you are not staring at your fridge trying to figure out what to make. Menu Planner Plan your meals for the week and Scratch pulls the ingredients you need onto your grocery list. Grocery List Filterable by store, so if you are stopping somewhere on the way home you can see just what you need from that store without overthinking it. Share with Friends Share recipes you are proud of and get recipes from friends. You can keep your recipes to yourself or share them, up to you. I am going to maintain this as long as I use it because I couldn't find an app where all these pieces actually talk to each other. Hope you find it useful too.
