See It In Action

From Fridge to Recipe

A quick look at scanning your pantry and cooking from what you already have.

Full Feature Set

Your Kitchen, Reimagined

AI Food Vision

Point your camera at the fridge or pantry and AI reads the ingredients automatically — no manual entry required.

Recipes From What You Have

Real, cookable meals built around only the ingredients you already own — it never invents an ingredient you don't have.

Smart Pantry

A living inventory that remembers your ingredients between sessions, so the app always knows what's on hand.

Weekly Meal Plan

Turn your pantry into a plan for the week — meals organized around what you have, ready when you are.

Calorie Tracking

Snap a meal for an honest estimate — a range, never fake precision. Optional, and off until you turn it on.

Allergy & Diet Safe

Set your allergies and diet once. Recipes that clash are filtered out with a hard safety gate — free for everyone, never behind a paywall.

Privacy-First

Meal photos are analyzed to identify ingredients, never stored. No ads, no trackers, no data sales.

Shop the Gaps

One ingredient short? Send just the missing items to Instacart or Publix in a tap — everything else comes from what you already have.

Cook With Brimful

Brimful, your friendly squirrel guide, walks you through the app and answers cooking questions in a built-in chat — swaps, techniques, "what can I make?"

Under the Hood

How It Keeps the Food Safe

Recipes re-checked against your pantry

Every recipe the model returns is re-validated on the phone against your actual pantry list and your store-bought budget, and any recipe naming an ingredient you don't have is dropped. If nothing survives a second, stricter attempt, the app returns an error instead of showing you an invented recipe.

Allergen filter fails closed

32 allergen and diet keys expand to roughly 450 deny substrings matched on the device against every ingredient, step and recipe title — including a hyphen- and space-collapsed form, so "pea-nut" can't slip past a "peanut" rule. The matching is deliberately greedy, and a spurious hit like "coconut milk" is cleared only by a curated per-compound, per-term exemption list, never by shortening a deny word: "soy milk" is exempt from the dairy match but still fails a soy match. The decision is made on the phone, so it does not depend on the server or on having a connection.

Labels read on the device first

Any photo you take is run through on-device Vision OCR before anything is sent anywhere. If it's a readable nutrition panel, the numbers are parsed locally as exact label values and the image never leaves the phone; only a photo that isn't a label falls through to the AI relay. A scanned barcode is looked up in the Open Food Facts database before the model is called at all.

No single calorie number exists

The analysed food type has no calories field at all — an item can only carry a low, a high and a confidence level, so a fake-precise single number is impossible to represent, not merely discouraged. The meal screen prints the range.


How We Compare

Recipes for the Food You Actually Have

Recipe apps assume you'll shop for the dish; nutrition trackers assume you'll type every ingredient. Brimful starts from the opposite end — point a camera at what's already in the kitchen.
