ChefUp: Food Expiry Tracker

Fridge Recipes & What to Cook

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Stop throwing away food. Start saving money instead. ChefUp turns the food you're about to throw away into dinner. Track what's in your fridge and cupboards, get reminded before things expire, and cook recipes built around what needs using up. Stuck on what to cook? ChefUp gives you meal ideas from the food you've already got. A SMART PANTRY THAT DOES THE WORK Add food by photo, barcode, voice ("chicken expiring Friday") or typing. ChefUp estimates expiry dates for you, and you can scan the date straight off the pack. It's an expiry date tracker that actually stays up to date. REMINDERS BEFORE FOOD GOES OFF, NOT AFTER A heads-up the morning something expires, a nudge the day before, and a Monday list of what to use up this week. Tap a reminder and ChefUp suggests a recipe that uses those items. USE UP LEFTOVERS WITH ONE TAP "Rescue" what's expiring and ChefUp suggests recipes built around it, with step-by-step instructions and built-in cooking timers. Reduce food waste without having to plan. ONE PANTRY FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Invite your partner, kids or housemates with a code. Everyone adds to and cooks from the same list, and you can see who added what. No more buying a third jar of mayo because nobody knew there were two in the cupboard. Anyone you invite joins for free. ALL YOUR RECIPES IN ONE COOKBOOK Import a recipe from any website or from a photo of a cookbook page, or type in your family favourites. Save the ones you love, filter your cookbook, and see which recipes you can cook right now with what's in your pantry. FAMILY PROFILES THAT FLEX WITH REAL LIFE Set up profiles for everyone: vegetarians, allergies, dairy-free kids, picky eaters. Pick who's at the table tonight and ChefUp builds one meal that works for all of them. No more cooking twice. SEE YOUR SAVINGS, EVERY WEEK Your dashboard shows how much money you've saved and how many items you've rescued from the bin. Real numbers that help you save money on groceries.
