No more β€œwhat's for dinner?” at 5 pm in front of an empty fridge. Superkitchen is the app for families and friends who eat together: plan your meals, collect recipes from a photo, a link or a handwritten note and buy only what is missing at home. Less waste, fewer extra trips, more looking forward to dinner. And the best part: you do it together. Everyone makes a wish, everyone sees the plan, and after dinner you vote. DISCOVER No idea? The Superkitchen cookbook waits on Home with over 100 recipes. Whatever fits the time of day comes first, plus kids' favorites and meals ready in 30 minutes. One tap and the recipe is in your collection or straight in your meal plan. FROM INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK Saw a reel, tapped share, recipe in the app. Superkitchen reads the post's description right on your iPhone and turns it into ingredients and instructions in its own words. The video stays on the platform, and the link to the original sits on the recipe. SERVINGS AND SECTIONS Adjust the servings on the recipe page and all ingredient amounts scale with them. Cakes count in pieces. Sections like dough and filling structure longer recipes, and every step can carry its own photo. NUTRITION Calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving on every recipe page, calculated on your iPhone from the ingredients. A guide, not nutritional advice. INGREDIENTS WITH PICTURES Over 1,000 ingredients with pictures in recipes, pantry and shopping list. In the instructions, times and temperatures stand out and you tick off finished steps. YOUR DAY The day view shows every dish of the day plus the sausages or bread on the side, the way into each recipe and β€œCheck ingredients”: whatever is missing goes on the shopping list. Plus the hourly weather, if you turn it on. COMMUNITY Recipes from real kitchens, right in Discover. Switch a recipe to "Community" and every kitchen in Superkitchen can save it. Every recipe is checked before it goes live, and there are no comments, no ratings and no profiles. PHOTO TO RECIPE Take a photo of a dish or a handwritten recipe page, or share a screenshot straight from the Photos app. The AI turns it into a complete recipe with ingredients, instructions, and nutrition per serving. PANTRY WITHOUT TYPING Dictate your pantry ("two cans of tomatoes, we are out of butter"), photograph the receipt or the fridge. Superkitchen recognizes the items, merges duplicates and deducts what you cooked. SHOP TOGETHER When someone adds something to the list, everyone sees it right away. The list suggests what's missing for your planned meals. After shopping, checked items move to your pantry. PLAN THE WEEK Who cooks what, and when? Plan cooking days, eating out, delivery, leftovers, or β€œeveryone on their own”. See the meal plan as day columns or a list. WISHES AND VOTING Everyone can add a wish. After the meal you vote in turns, and the stars show up on the recipe. FRIENDS Your friend kitchens sit at the top of Home. Share recipes and invite each other over for a meal; friends without the app use a link to add what they're bringing. Whether a recipe is visible only to you, to friends or to the community, you decide on the recipe page. LANGUAGES AND UNITS The app speaks German, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, with US and UK formats, and supports both metric and imperial units. The download is free. The AI features use credits: you get 30 free to start and more for inviting friends or sharing recipes with the community. If you need more, there is a subscription: Standard with 150 credits (4.99 EUR/month) or Plus with 500 credits (9.99 EUR/month). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account after purchase. The subscription renews automatically for one month unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. You can manage and cancel your subscription anytime in your device's App Store settings. Terms of Use: https://getsuperkitchen.com/en/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://getsuperkitchen.com/en/privacy/
