Snap a photo of your fridge and WFD shows you what to cook tonight — with what
you already have. Plus 40 family recipes, ready the moment you open the app.
Open the app. Snap your fridge. See tonight's dinner.
WhatsForDinner reads the photo — your fridge, your pantry, even a bag of
groceries — and shows you meals you can make right now, with what you already
have. No meal plans. No shopping list. No 6pm takeout guilt. Your photo is
parsed and never stored.
And it's ready the moment you install it: forty family-tested recipes ship
pre-loaded with ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and dietary tags — pick
one, see how to make it, log it. No setup, no empty library, no manual entry to
get started.
Add your own meals as you cook them. Tell WFD who eats with you and what they
can't have. Tap "I have…" to cook from what's already in your kitchen. Everything
syncs across the household via iCloud.

When you find something you can almost make from your pantry, one
tap drops the missing ingredients in your shopping list. Print any
recipe to the kitchen, AirDrop it to a tablet, or send the shopping
list straight to Apple Reminders. WFD plans, decides, shops, and
cooks alongside the family — without any of the friction.
Three ways to land on tonight's meal:
- Pantry search — type what's in your fridge, see the meals you can make right now
- Eat In — meal suggestions from your library, refined by who's eating, time, mood, cuisine
- Eat Out — restaurant suggestions nearby with Yelp ratings, prices, photos, and Look Around 3D previews (Plus)
WFD remembers what your family eats:
- Your meals, your people, your household preferences
- Allergies and dietary constraints, hard-enforced — a red badge calls out when a meal has an ingredient someone you've selected reacts to
- Eating history with cook-vs-eat-out insights
Share with your household:
- iCloud household sharing — everyone sees the same queue and history
- Queue meals as a wishlist, surface them when you ask "what's tonight?"
- Weekly planning view for parents who like to plan ahead
- Identity attribution — see who queued each meal

WFD 4.5.1 — In case you missed it.
You can now snap a photo of your fridge, pantry, or a bag of groceries and WFD
reads what's there, then shows you meals you can make right now — with what you
already have. Review the list, tap Find meals, cook. Your photo is parsed and
never stored, and it's included with your free Plus trial.
Also fixed: "eating out" restaurant results now fall back reliably for Plus
users.
