What's for dinner? Handled. Pantryfy is the kitchen app where your pantry, recipes, meal plan, and shopping list all talk to each other. Dinner decided in a minute, groceries used instead of tossed, a week that mostly runs itself. WHO IS PANTRYFY FOR Anyone whoโ€™s bought a third jar of cumin because they forgot about the first two. Tables where one eater is dairy-free, one hates spice, and every recipe needs a remix. COOK FROM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE Pantryfy keeps a running tally of your kitchen and suggests recipes that match, ranked by what's about to expire. Tonight's dinner usually finds itself. OR JUST TURN ON AUTOPILOT Tell it what your household doesn't eat. An AI agent drafts the week from your pantry and what's expiring, builds the shopping list, and delivers it Sunday morning. Between drafts it keeps watching: expiring chicken gets a use-it-up plan, a planned week with no list gets one drafted. (Pro and Family.) MEET THE PANTRYFY AGENT Ask: "add 2 lb chicken," "plan three quick dinners," "build the list." It does the work and remembers what your household likes. (Pro and Family.) SAVE ANY RECIPE, ANYWHERE Paste a URL and Pantryfy reads the page and saves the recipe. Snap a handwritten card, a cookbook chapter, or tonight's plate, and Pantryfy writes it up. No recipe in mind? Say what you're after and the AI searches the web, scoring every result against your kitchen. SAW IT ON TIKTOK? Share a TikTok, YouTube, Facebook or Instagram post to Pantryfy, or paste the link. It reads the caption (Pro and Family hear the audio and on-screen text) for the recipes nobody wrote down. MAKE ANY RECIPE YOURS Open any recipe in Studio and remix it. Scale servings and every quantity updates. Flip it dairy-free with one tap. Dial the spice, set the effort, hit Remix, and the recipe rebuilds around your choices. A flavor readout shows how the dish leans, built from the ingredients Pantryfy knows. (Pro and Family.) IT LEARNS YOUR TASTE Tell Pantryfy once: spice tolerance, allergens, diets, textures nobody will touch. Checked allergens are filtered out of suggestions, and vegetarian means no meat in the picks. Then it pays attention to what you do. Favourite a recipe, cook it, mark how it went, and next week's suggestions lean a little more your way. Keep rules for each person you cook for, including a kid without an account. Someone new at the table can send their rules as a link that expires on its own. HOST A POTLUCK WITHOUT THE GROUP CHAT Plan a party as one shared menu. Guests open a link, add what they eat, and claim a dish. No account needed. Every dish gets checked against the whole table before it lands, and the board shows what still needs a claimer. Your first hosted party is free, joining is always free. (Hosting more is Pro and Family.) OUT OF SOMETHING? SWAP IT Tap the ingredient and pick a substitute that fits the dish, ratio already worked out: use 3/4 cup. "Based on what I have" shows only swaps already in your pantry. HONEST MACROS Calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fiber per serving. What Pantryfy can't look up it shows as missing, not made up. TRACK YOUR PANTRY IN SECONDS Type a few letters and Pantryfy auto-completes from over 10,000 foods, with unit, aisle, and shelf life pre-filled. Or just say it: "I bought 2 lbs of chicken". Scan a barcode as you unpack, or snap a receipt or your shelf and AI fills it in (free to try, then Pro and Family). Expiry alerts land before food turns. A SHOPPING LIST THAT KNOWS YOUR STORE The list groups by section, produce to frozen, the way you walk the store, generated from the week's plan and checked against what you own. Checked-off items flow back into your pantry. SHARE ONE KITCHEN Invite your household so pantry, recipes, plan, and list update for everyone at once. (Family.) Free forever. Pro and Family add Autopilot, Agents, Studio, barcodes, scans, and more recipes. Plan tonight. Eat better tomorrow. Terms of Use: https://pantryfy.ai/terms
