Tick the recipes based on your kitchen. Potjie builds your shopping list from what the fridge is missing, then walks you through the cook one step at a time.
Potjie helps you cook what you've got, know what to buy and know what it'll cost.
Tick the recipes you want this week. Potjie checks your fridge, works out what's missing and turns it into a shopping list: rounded up to real pack sizes, grouped by shop, with an estimated rand price range. Tick an item as you buy it and it moves into your fridge.
When you cook, you get one step per screen: what you need, with its amounts, then a sentence or two on what to do. Start a step's timer and the countdown sits on your Lock Screen, and in the Dynamic Island on phones that have one, so you can put the phone down. Finish the recipe and Potjie takes the ingredients out of your fridge and puts the meals in, with how long each one keeps. On the morning a leftover reaches its keep-by date, you get a note to have it or freeze it.

Private by design
Potjie has no account and no server. Your fridge, recipes and lists stay on your phone, and the app collects no data. Export a backup file from Kitchen and import it on a new phone.
