Bentofy: Meal Planner & Recipes
Bentofy helps you plan meals, save recipes, and figure out what to cook. No more Sunday afternoon spirals.
ONE PLACE FOR YOUR KITCHEN
- Meal calendar. Plan your week, day, or month. Drag meals between days and slots. See today at a glance with a quick-add button right where you need it.
- Recipe library. Save and organise everything in one place. Import from Safari, Instagram, or any link using the Share extension. No need to open the app first.
- Grocery list & pantry. Ingredients flow from your plan into your list automatically. Track pantry stock with optional expiry dates and get nudges before things go to waste.
- AI chat. Ask what you can make with what's in the fridge, send a photo, or add items to your list by voice. Add ideas to your plan and pick dates in one go.
PLAN THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY COOK
- Personalised from the start. Set your cuisines, diet, allergies, and how often you cook. Suggestions are tailored to you from day one.
- Weekly picks. Bentofy Pro suggests a week of recipes based on your tastes and what you have on hand. Add what you like in one tap.
- Collections. Group recipes your way: "Quick weeknights", "Sunday roasts", whatever fits how you cook. Filter by cuisine, difficulty, or cook time.
IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE
- Share to Bentofy. Spot a recipe on a blog, Instagram, or Pinterest? Share it and Bentofy extracts the recipe for your library. Parsing is smarter now, so less cleanup and more cooking.
- Start from scratch. Add your own recipes with photos, ingredients, and steps. Scale servings as needed.
- Blank slate. Only have a title? Bentofy can fill in the rest for you.
BUILT TO LAST THE WEEK
- Works offline. Your grocery list is there when you're in the store.
- Dark mode and accent colours to match your style.
- Native SwiftUI, fast and responsive.
BENTOFY PRO
Unlock AI chat, weekly recommendations, unlimited recipes, and a synced grocery list. Everything else is free to explore first.
Whether you meal prep on Sunday or figure it out day by day, Bentofy keeps dinner decided.
