Cooklist

Cooklist is a pantry-tracking and meal planning app that bridges the gap between what you have at home and what you can cook. Its AI surfaces recipes based on your actual pantry inventory, reducing both food waste and the effort of meal planning.

## Pantry Management

Users log what's in their kitchen — either manually, by scanning barcodes, or by importing grocery receipts. Cooklist tracks expiration dates and sends alerts when ingredients are about to expire. The pantry inventory powers the recipe engine.

## Cook Now Feature

Cooklist's most-used feature shows recipes you can cook right now using only what's in your pantry. No substitutions required, no missing ingredients — this reduces the mental friction of "what's for dinner?" to a single tap.

The app also shows near-miss recipes: dishes that require just one or two additional ingredients. These inform what to grab next time you're near a store.

## Smart Grocery Lists

When planning meals for the week, Cooklist generates a grocery list that accounts for what you already have. Items already in your pantry are excluded from the list. The list can be organized by store aisle and shared with household members.

## Waste Tracking

Cooklist tracks what you throw away — expired items, unused portions — and uses this data to refine recommendations and portion sizing over time. Households typically see significant reduction in food waste within a few months of consistent use.

## Pricing

Free tier with core pantry tracking and recipe suggestions. Premium at approximately $5/month adds unlimited pantry items, waste analytics, and advanced meal planning.
