From "what's in the fridge?" to a plan, a list, and dinner.
Pantry
A live inventory of your kitchen — with expiry radar.
Every shelf, drawer and freezer bag, organized and searchable. PantryLab tracks quantities as you cook and nudges you before anything goes off.
- Live inventory that updates as you cook and shop
- Expiry alerts, so food gets eaten — not binned
- Instant “cook this before it expires” recipe ideas
- Organized by fridge, freezer and pantry zones
AI recipes
300,000+ recipes, ranked by what you already own.
No more "you're missing 9 ingredients." PantryLab's AI puts the recipes you can actually cook tonight at the top — tuned to your diet, taste and cooking style.
- Matched to your live pantry, not a generic list
- Uses up leftovers and about-to-expire items first
- Respects dietary preferences and allergies
- Learns your cooking style over time
Meal planner
A week of meals, planned around your kitchen.
Drop recipes onto your week and PantryLab handles the rest — portions, nutrition goals, and a shopping list for only what's missing.
- Weekly plans built from your pantry first
- Adjustable servings and nutrition targets
- Auto-generates the shopping list gap
- Meal-prep friendly scheduling
Smart shopping
A shopping list that writes itself — and knows your store.
Your list builds from your meal plan and pantry gaps, organizes itself by aisle, and connects to the stores you already shop at.
- Auto-built from recipes + pantry stock
- Sorted so you never double back an aisle
- Connects to your favorite stores for deals
- Shared lists for the whole household
Why it matters
Good for your budget. Better for the planet.
Roughly a third of all food produced worldwide never gets eaten — and most household waste happens simply because we forget what we have. PantryLab exists to fix the forgetting.
