What's for dinner?
Your kitchen already knows.
FoodGenie is the AI-powered kitchen for people who actually cook. It plans your meals, tracks what's in your fridge, builds your shopping list, and never lets the basil wilt unnoticed.
One connected kitchen.
Six things that finally talk to each other.
Every meal-planning app does one or two of these. FoodGenie does all six — and the magic is they share the same brain.
This is actually what it looks like.
Real screenshots from the live app — the same ones our guides use. No mockups.
Plan any seven days — in about ten minutes.
A fluid week that scrolls by the day, not locked to Sunday-through-Saturday. Drag dishes straight off your styled menus, let “Plan my week” fill the empty nights from what's in your kitchen, or reuse any past week day-by-day.
- Green/red bars show which dinners you can cook tonight
- Desserts never show up as dinner suggestions
- Past Plans: reuse any earlier week, checkbox by day
A list that writes itself — and knows your store.
One tap builds the list from your plan, subtracting what's already in your kitchen. Group it by category, by recipe (“needed for: Pork Souvlaki”), or by your store's actual aisles with live Kroger prices — then send it straight to your cart.
- “Have it already” and pantry-substitute flags per item
- Live prices + aisle order when a store is connected
- Check-off mode keeps your screen awake in the aisle
Your kitchen, tracked — without the chore.
Stock it by scanning a receipt, pasting a list, or tapping through staples. Expiry dates are estimated by food type, “use it up” surfaces what's about to turn, and the weekly five-minute Kitchen Check keeps it honest.
- Expiring / running-low / no-date filters, one tap each
- Receipt scanner batch-stocks and checks off your list
- Leftovers tracked with their own clocks
Dinner from what you have, ranked honestly.
Every recipe you own, scored against your actual kitchen: ready right now, one smart substitution away, or missing a few things. The substitution graph is curator-built and allergen-aware — never an AI guess.
- Ready · 1 swap · needs-items tiers at a glance
- Filters by cuisine and dietary pattern
- One tap from “can make” to tonight's plan
Grandma's index card → your library, in seconds.
Paste a URL, snap a cookbook page, or photograph a recipe card. The Clipper parses it with confidence chips, walks you through a quick review, and files it in MyRecipes — servings, times, and ingredients structured and plannable.
- URL, photo, and plain-text import paths
- Mandatory review step — nothing garbled sneaks in
- Every import becomes drag-and-droppable in the planner
Cook together — at home and beyond it.
One shared kitchen, plan, and list for the whole household — with per-person dietary profiles and a Fair Play tracker so cooking doesn't fall on one person. Then connect with friends on MyChefs and browse their shared menus in their own designs.
- Real-time shared planner and shopping list
- Friends' menus render in their chosen themes
- “+ Plan” a friend's dish straight into your week
Like having a chef-friend who knows your fridge.
Ask anything. The Genie answers using your menu, your inventory, your dietary profile, and what you've already planned. No more “I have 4 ingredients, what can I make?” rabbit holes.
What we're hearing from early testers.
“It's the first meal-planning app where the AI actually feels useful. The Genie suggested using my wilting basil before I would have noticed.”
“Saturday morning planning used to take 40 minutes of arguing. Now it's coffee + 10 minutes. The shopping list literally writes itself.”
“I have a tree-nut allergy and every other recipe app eventually suggested almond butter. FoodGenie never has — that's the standard.”
Things real people ask.

Do you sell my data or use it to train AI?+
How is FoodGenie different from Mealime, Paprika, AnyList, or Whisk?+
Can my whole family use one account?+
Will it work on my phone?+
What about food allergies?+
Stop staring at the fridge.
You'll have a full week of meals planned, a shopping list ready, and an AI sous-chef on call — in less than 10 minutes from now.
