Pantry Pal · for people with too much food
Pantry Pal keeps tabs on what's in your kitchen, finds recipes you can actually cook tonight, and gently roasts you for buying a sixth can of chickpeas.
Scan a barcode. Snap a shelf. Type it in. Pantry Pal tracks counts, locations, and best-by dates so future-you doesn't buy another jar of capers — a pantry inventory app that does the remembering for you.
Learn more →Save recipes from Six Seasons, Salt Fat Acid Heat, NYT — wherever. We cross-reference your pantry and tell you what you can cook tonight.
Learn more →Pick a recipe. We add the gaps to your grocery list — sectioned by aisle, sharable with whoever does the shopping.
Learn more →Scan a barcode, snap a shelf, or type it in at 11pm because you finally found the capers. It's a list that's still there tomorrow — counts, storage spots, best-by dates, closest date first — so you stop rebuilding your kitchen from memory in aisle four.
How the pantry works →
Paste a link, photograph a cookbook page, or hand it a video. What you save keeps its tags, its cook time and whoever wrote it — your cookbook, not a stranger's database — and it gets ranked against what's on your shelves.
Cook from what you have → Pick the recipes you want to cook. Pantry Pal pulls their ingredients into one list, takes out what's already on your shelves, and groups the rest by aisle. Share it with whoever's doing the shop.
See the grocery list →
Drop meals onto the days, see how close each one is to cookable from what you've got, then send the whole week to your grocery list in one go. Meal planning is a Pro feature — the 30-day trial includes it, the free plan doesn't.
Plan the week →
"Cook from what you have, before you buy more."
