Getting started

1

Scan your kitchen

Open the Scan tab and photograph your fridge, freezer, or pantry. ShelfCentered identifies each item and shows you a review screen first — nothing gets added without your confirmation.

2

Review and confirm

Adjust anything that looks off, then approve the batch. Take multiple photos of the same area — different shelves, the fridge door — before reviewing, and they'll combine into one batch.

3

Get your first suggestion

The "Today" card on your Home tab refreshes automatically with a recipe idea built from what you actually have — prioritizing anything close to expiring.

Core features

Kitchen inventory

A living record of what's in your fridge, freezer, and pantry — built from photos, receipt scans, or barcode scans, not manual typing.

Today's recommendation

One fresh recipe idea each day, weighted toward using up what's expiring soonest.

Weekly meal planner

A full week of meals — including Kids Lunch — generated from your inventory and preferences, with the option to add more days anytime.

"I cooked that"

Tell the app you made a suggested recipe, and it automatically removes the used ingredients from your inventory — no manual bookkeeping.

Substitution helper

Missing an ingredient? Get a substitute suggestion using only what's already in your kitchen.
