Six things, in the order they matter.
FoodMate is built around the way people actually cook: collecting ideas, working out what is in the cupboard, deciding what to make, and shopping for what is missing.
Find it again
Search by ingredient, not just by title — "помидор" finds the line that says "2 больших помидора". Filter by tag, time, rating or source.
Your kitchen
What is in the fridge and the cupboard, use-by dates, and the staples that are simply always there. Two swipes: used up, gone off.
Shopping list
Everything a recipe is missing, in one tap. Ticking a line off puts it in the kitchen. The list also goes to Apple Reminders when you want it with you in the shop.
Receipts
Photograph the till roll: the shopping goes into your kitchen and the prices are remembered so a trip can be estimated.
What to cook
Ask, and get dishes made from what is in the kitchen right now. Say something has been eaten and the answer is worked out again.
Two ways a recipe reaches the app.
Most cooking sites publish their recipe as structured data, and FoodMate reads that directly — exactly as written, with no model involved. For a reel or a caption, an on-device model does the reading.
From a cooking site
When you share a link to a page that publishes its recipe as structured data, FoodMate fetches the page the way a browser would and reads the recipe straight out of it. The result is exactly what was on the page, and nothing is sent away.
From a reel or a caption
For a video or a caption, Apple's on-device model reads the text. The recipe stays on your iPhone and it works offline. If you would rather use ChatGPT, you can add your own OpenAI key in Settings — that one request, and only that one, is sent to OpenAI on their terms.
Stored on your device. Works offline. Designed to be leavable.
No account is needed to use the app, the collection stays on your iPhone or iPad, and it comes back out as a folder of Markdown files with an index whenever you ask for it.
On your device
Recipes, kitchen, shopping list and prices live in the app's own container on your iPhone or iPad.
Works offline
Reading, searching and planning all work without a network. The app does not need an account.
Exports as Markdown
One file per recipe with YAML front matter, an index, and — if you want them — your photos. Opens in Obsidian or any text editor.
FoodMate AI is on the way.
The TestFlight build is in preparation. If you would like to try it early or write about it, drop a line and you will hear back.
