In short

UseIt: Smart Kitchen Planner finds recipes based on the ingredients you already have, whether typed in or added from a photo. It is aimed at home cooks who want to reduce food waste and avoid buying items they don't need. One notable feature is its allergy and diet settings, which keep unsuitable recipes out of suggestions. The app stores everything on the device with no account or tracking.

About

Everyone cooks. UseIt helps you cook with what you've already got.

Got half a bag of spinach, three eggs and a tin of butter beans? Tell UseIt what's in your kitchen and it finds recipes that use it up, so less food goes in the bin and less money goes on shopping you didn't need.

FIND RECIPES FROM YOUR FOOD • Type what you have, or add it from a photo • 330 original recipes from 28 cuisines: breakfasts, brunches, lunches, soups, dinners and desserts • See how much of each recipe you can already make, and exactly what's missing • Food that needs using soon comes first • Browse and search every recipe, any time

SAFE FOR YOUR KITCHEN • Set allergies (all 14 UK allergens), diets and foods you'd rather avoid • Recipes that don't suit you are never suggested • Ingredients that vary by brand remind you to check the label

SHOP AND PLAN SMARTER • Tick what you already have and only the rest goes on your shopping list • One list for several recipes, so nothing is bought twice • Plan a week or a month, batch cook and use up leftovers

GROWS AS YOU COOK • Big, clear cooking mode with timers that keep going when you leave the app • Add a photo of what you made, and keep favourites in your own named recipe books • Import recipes from websites, captions or screenshots • Estimated nutrition per serving: calories, fat, carbs, fibre, protein and salt • Insights on what you've cooked, the food you've used up and, if you add it, what you spend

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone or iPad • Back up to a file to move your kitchen to another device • Apple Intelligence features run on the device where available; everything else works without them

One price, no subscription.
