Snap your fridge and get dinner in seconds, with calorie tracking, 439 recipes and a full meal planner. Type any dish — Pantry builds it around what you've already got.
Type any dish — biryani, butter chicken, ramen, carbonara — and Pantry builds the recipe around what's actually in your kitchen. Out of cumin? Pantry tells you before you start, not halfway through.
No more finding the "perfect" recipe only to realise you're missing half of it. Pantry writes recipes for the kitchen you have, not the one you wish you had.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Type the dish you want — anything from weeknight pasta to a full Persian feast
2. Pantry matches it against what's in your kitchen
3. Get a real recipe, scaled to your servings, with missing items flagged before you start
Don't know what you want? Snap a photo of your fridge and Pantry suggests dinner from what it sees. Or save your pantry once and let Pantry match recipes to it every day.

WHY PANTRY
Most cooking apps assume you have the time, the ingredients, and the patience to plan dinner three days ahead. Real life isn't like that. You get home, you're tired, the fridge has half an onion and some chicken, and you want biryani. Other apps give you a recipe written for a kitchen you don't have. Pantry writes one for the kitchen you do.
Made by an independent developer in the UK. No big team, no investors, no ads — ever. Just one person who got tired of staring into the fridge and built something better.
PRIVACY FIRST
Your photos are processed for ingredient recognition and immediately discarded. We don't store images, we don't track you, and we don't sell data. No ads in Pantry — ever.
SUPPORTED DIETS
Pantry adapts recipes for Halal, Kosher, Vegetarian, Vegan, Pescatarian, and high-protein eaters. Set your preferences once and every suggestion respects them.
