Meet Chefness!, your personal AI cooking companion for easier decisions in the kitchen. Get practical meal ideas, adapt recipes to your needs, save the dishes you love, and give future suggestions the context that matters.
COOK WITH PERSONALIZED AI HELP
• Ask for meal ideas, recipes, step-by-step instructions, substitutions, and everyday cooking advice.
• Set the meal type and serving size so suggestions fit the occasion.
• Attach a photo when your selected AI supports vision.
• Edit your messages and regenerate a response when plans change.
BUILD YOUR OWN RECIPE COLLECTION
• Save recipes from conversations in a structured, kitchen-friendly format.
• Import recipe pages from the internet by pasting a URL or sharing a page from Safari.
• Describe a recipe change in natural language, preview the complete update, and apply it when it looks right.
• Share saved recipes with your friends and loved ones.
REMEMBER WHAT WORKS
• Log meals you cooked, rate them, and add notes for next time.
• Use recent cooking history to help future conversations suggest more variety.
• Save dietary restrictions and permanent preferences so you do not have to repeat them in every chat.
CHOOSE YOUR AI
Connect your OpenRouter account and select from hundreds of available models. Pro Tip: filter the live catalog for free models! There's always a few!
LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN
Recipes, cooking history, chat sessions, dietary settings, and saved preferences are stored on your device. No Chefness account or separate Chefness user-data server is required. When you invoke an AI feature, the relevant prompt, app context, and any image you choose are sent through OpenRouter to the selected model provider.
Saved local content remains available offline. AI chat, AI recipe editing, live model discovery, and remote recipe imports require an internet connection.
An OpenRouter account is required for AI features. Usage charges may apply depending on the model you select, and free models may be available.
