It's 6pm. The fridge is full — but there's "nothing to eat."
Elio fixes that. It's the recipe app that knows your kitchen: it decides dinner from what's actually on your shelves, plans the week, fills the shopping list, and cooks it with you.
Cook what you have. That's the whole idea.
IT DECIDES DINNER
Tell Elio what's in your pantry — or snap a grocery receipt and scan barcodes (Pro) — then tell it what you fancy: "something soupy," "high-protein," "use the chicken thighs." Tap once and a real, step-by-step recipe streams in, grounded in your ingredients, your diet, your schedule, and the appliances you actually own. Missing one thing? Swap that ingredient and keep the recipe. The spinach you forgot you bought? That's tonight's dinner, not Sunday's bin.
IT PLANS THE WEEK (PRO)
All the planning of a meal kit — none of the box. Plan exactly the days and meals you want — dinners only, Monday to Wednesday? Fine. Pick your cuisines, write the brief yourself ("high-protein taco Tuesday"), or go wild and let Elio surprise you. Don't love one meal? Regenerate just that one. Your groceries, your prices, your call.
IT FILLS THE LIST (PRO)
No copying out ingredients, no buying doubles. Elio builds an aisle-sorted grocery list from your meal plan and adds only what you're actually missing — because it knows what's already in the cupboard.
IT COOKS IT WITH YOU
Raw-chicken fingers? Just ask for the next step. Cook mode reads the recipe with you, sets timers, and answers by voice — you never touch the screen mid-recipe. Elio doesn't hand you a recipe and leave; it stays for the cooking.
ONE HOME FOR ALL YOUR RECIPES (PRO)
Found it on TikTok, Instagram, a website, or a photo of a handwritten card? Send it to Elio and it becomes a clean, cookable recipe — every recipe you save, organized in one recipe book, right next to everything Elio made for you. And because Elio knows your kitchen, it can tell you whether tonight's the night. Saved recipes stop being bookmarks and start being dinners.
ONE TABLE, EVERYONE FED (PRO)
One vegan, one gluten-free, one fussy seven-year-old? Save a profile for everyone in the household and Elio creates one meal the whole table can eat.
ONE SHARED KITCHEN (PRO)
Invite your partner, family or roommates into the same kitchen: one pantry, one shopping list, one meal plan. Whoever gets home first scans the receipt and everyone's pantry updates. Whoever's at the store watches the list tick off as it happens. Join with a six-character code — up to six people, one kitchen, and no more "did you already get milk?"
LESS WASTE, ZERO SCRAMBLE
Elio is built to end the two worst kitchen feelings: the 6pm "what's for dinner" scramble, and the quiet guilt of food waste. Cook from what you have, and both disappear.

New in this update: Elio now adapts its ingredient names to your region — UK kitchens see courgettes and aubergines, US kitchens see zucchini and eggplant, and your pantry stays perfectly in sync either way.
Also: Restore Purchases now tells you exactly what happened, and Manage choices takes you straight to your privacy settings. Plus small fixes.
