Recipes and a meal plan that write the shopping list.

Pocket Kitchen keeps your recipes, the week's meals, the shopping list and the pantry in one place. Paste a link to import a recipe, scale the servings while you cook, and see at a glance which ingredients the shelf already covers.

A carbonara recipe on an iPhone: servings stepper and a pantry mark beside every ingredient

Home

Today's meals and what to use up.

The next planned meal with a Cooked it button, what is left to buy, pantry items that are running low or about to expire, and the days coming up, all on one page.

The Pocket Kitchen home page: overnight oats for breakfast, counters, today's meals and pantry items to use soon

Meal plan

A week you can drag around.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack slots for every day, filled with a recipe or plain text such as eating out. Drag meals between days, copy last week, and tick off what you cooked.

Shopping list from the plan scales every recipe and merges the lines
Skips or reduces what the pantry already holds
Cooked it takes the ingredients off the shelf

The meal plan as seven day columns with breakfast, lunch and dinner cards, some marked as cooked

Shopping

A list that ends at the checkout.

Lines are grouped by aisle, and quick-add understands “2 kg potatoes” or “milk 1.5 l”. Done shopping puts what you bought into the pantry and records the spend.

Add every low pantry item in one go
Several lists, optional prices and a purchase history
The receipt can go to Pocket Split as a shared expense

Pantry

A pantry that knows what is low.

Every item with its quantity, minimum, location and best-before date, grouped by where it is kept, with minus and plus buttons right in the list.

Running low and use soon filters
Can mirror the Pocket Inventory items that carry a pantry tag
Scan a barcode and Open Food Facts fills in name, brand and size

The pantry grouped by freezer, fridge and pantry, with quantity steppers, an empty item outlined and an expired yogurt

And the rest of it

Import from a link
Most recipe sites publish structured data, so title, times, servings, photo, ingredients and steps land in the editor ready to check. Or type a recipe in yourself.
Cooked it closes the loop
Logs the dish, takes the ingredients off the shelf with unit conversion, counts it on the recipe and can mark a Pocket Habits habit for the day.
A daily push
Today's meals and the pantry items to use soon, through Apprise, ntfy or a webhook, at the hour you pick.
A kitchen per person
Recipes, plan, lists, pantry and history belong to each account. Admins manage accounts, not other people's kitchens.
