Pantry Pro keeps a real inventory of your food — what you have, where it is, and when it runs out — from a photograph of a receipt or a shelf. Then it tells you what you can cook tonight without going to the store.
Photograph a receipt and the lines are read, matched against your item list, and staged for review. Nothing is written to your pantry until you approve it, because a misread line on a permanent list is expensive to undo.
Photograph a shelf and it is compared against what the pantry thinks is there, so the count stays honest without anyone typing anything in.
Scanning a barcode is decoded in the browser — the image never leaves your phone — and looked up for nutrition and product data.
Import a recipe from a link, a photograph of a cookbook page, or pasted text. The ingredients are parsed into quantities and units your pantry can reason about.
Ask what is makeable right now and get recipes ranked by what is already in the house, with the missing pieces listed rather than hidden.
Shopping lists fill themselves from low stock, meal plans and recipe gaps, so the list is what you actually need rather than what you remembered.
Photographs are analyzed by an AI model to read them. What that means for your data is set out in the privacy policy.
By the EPA’s April 2025 estimate, a household of four throws away about $2,900 of food a year — around $56 a week. Preventing two percent of that pays for a year of Pantry Pro. What food waste costs a household shows the arithmetic and cites the report it comes from.
Pantry Pro keeps an inventory of the food in your home. Food goes in from a photographed receipt, a photograph of a shelf, a barcode, or by typing it in, and the inventory then answers two questions: what can I cook tonight, and what do I actually need to buy. It ranks the recipes you have saved against what is on hand, lists what is running low and what should be used soon, and builds a shopping list and a weekly meal plan that one household shares.
Yes. The inventory, barcode scanning, recipes, recipe ranking, shopping lists and meal plans are unlimited on every plan. The only thing that is counted is photo scans, because reading a photograph costs money each time: the free plan includes 5 a month, and the paid plan, $5 a month or $50 a year, includes 40. Nothing is ever locked when a subscription ends.
In any modern browser, on a phone or a laptop, at pantry-pro.app, and it can be installed to a phone’s home screen like an app. There is no password: you sign in with a code sent to your email address.
You photograph the receipt and an AI model reads it into a draft purchase, which opens as a review screen showing what was printed beside what it was matched to. You correct or exclude lines, then confirm. Nothing reaches your inventory until you approve it, and each confirmed receipt teaches the app that store’s abbreviations.
No. A barcode is decoded on your own device with no photograph uploaded, and the number is looked up against your own items, then USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts. Barcode scanning is unlimited on every plan.
It is the app declining to guess. A recipe wants 4 cups of broth and the pantry holds 2 cans; nothing has been told how many cups a can holds, so the ingredient is marked can’t tell rather than have it or need. A recipe with only can’t-tells is labeled unclear rather than ready, and a shopping list leaves those lines off by default and says how many it left off.
Yes. A pantry is shared by design: everyone in a household sees one inventory, one shopping list and one meal plan, and every change is attributed by name. An owner invites people with a link or a short code.
No. Your inventory, photographs and recipes are not used to train AI models, and your personal information is not sold. The privacy policy sets out exactly what is collected and what happens to it.
