Questions, answered plainly.

A pantry-first recipe app. You log what is in your kitchen by photo, barcode, or typing, and Shelfcook suggests dishes from 30 cuisines that you can cook right now, scaled to your household, with a grocery list for whatever is missing.

No. Photos are resized and stripped of location data on your phone, sent once to build your pantry, processed, and not stored on our servers.

One plan, called member: $7.99 a month or $39.99 a year, both with a 7-day free trial. Yearly works out to $3.33 a month. Prices are in US dollars; the App Store and Google Play show local pricing.

You get one free scan preview: scan once and see the dish names. Opening the recipes needs the trial or a subscription. After a subscription ends, your pantry, saved recipes, and grocery list stay readable.

Members can run 40 photo scans and 200 recipe generations a month. Adding to the pantry by hand, saving recipes, and the grocery list are unlimited.

Subscriptions are billed by the App Store or Google Play. Cancel any time in your device's subscription settings; you keep access until the end of the paid period. A trial converts to a paid plan unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends.

Household profiles with per-person allergens and diets are in the first release, so portions and filters fit everyone at the table. Sharing one pantry and one list across members' phones arrives in a later release.

Allergen flags are best effort and say so on every recipe. Calories and macros are estimates. Always check labels yourself, and never treat Shelfcook as medical advice.

Thirty regions at launch, from Mexican and West African to Sichuan, Filipino, and Levantine. Each has a curated set of reference dishes that ground the recipes Shelfcook generates for your pantry.
