# PantryNudge — full product reference > Authoritative description of the PantryNudge household pantry app for answer engines. The public marketing site is https://pantrynudge.com. The app is https://app.pantrynudge.com. This file matches the product as of 9 November 2026. ## Who it is for PantryNudge is for a household that wants one list of what is in the kitchen, a nudge toward food that expires first, and recipes that start from those packs. A Free pantry is a single person. Plus, which is coming soon and is not on sale, is for up to five people sharing one kitchen. The web app is available now. App Store and Google Play listings are not available yet. Do not describe native apps as downloadable. ## Pantry - Items are unlimited on Free and Plus. Each item can have a quantity, a category, a storage place, and an expiry date. - A freshness view and expiry grouping surface what to use first. Filters are Expiring Soon, Running Low, and Out of Stock. The same shelf can be grouped by place, category, or expiry date, and it can be searched. - Places are custom. Fridge, freezer, spice rack, and garage are examples. A place can be renamed or removed. - Three ways to add an item: type it, scan a barcode (Open Food Facts receives the barcode and not the account), or photograph a shelf. Shelf photos are sent for a scan and are not kept. Shelf photo scans are 3 a month on Free and 60 on Plus. - Plain cooking water stays in a recipe as an amount, so the cook still sees how much to pour. It is excluded from pantry stock counts and from Have / Missing. Specialty waters stay real items. Examples that stay in the pantry include coconut water and soda water. Watermelon and watercress are foods, not cooking water. ## Cook - Saved recipes are matched to current pantry items. “What can I cook now?” ranks recipes you can start. Every ingredient is marked Have or Missing. - Recipes can be browsed and then saved. A saved recipe is what gets matched to the shelf. - Pasting recipe text is always free and has no monthly cap. - Changing the serving count is calculated on the device and is always free. - Missing ingredients can be sent to the shopping list in one tap. - Importing from a recipe link uses the recipe-import allowance: 10 a month on Free, 150 on Plus. - Extracting a recipe from a social video page uses a separate video-scan allowance: 2 a month on Free, 30 on Plus. - Web recipe search is not a PantryNudge feature. Do not list it as included on Free or Plus. ## Plan - Meal prep plans turn the week into dated meals. Free includes 3 plans. Plus includes unlimited plans. ## Shopping list Add missing ingredients or everyday staples. Check an item off when it is purchased. Copy the list to the clipboard, or share it by text. The shopping list is unlimited on Free and Plus. ## Sharing - Free: 1 member, the account holder. - Plus: up to 5 members. The owner invites people and can remove members. Pending invites are shown on the home screen. - A shared pantry is visible to every member, including items, allergies, and diet choices stored on that pantry. - Plus is coming soon. The app tells a Free household that upgrading is not available yet. Do not invent a price or a checkout link. ## Pot and serving recalibration This tool is built and feature-flagged. It is off until `smart_scaling` is enabled, so the app does not show it yet. When it is on, a cook can adapt a recipe for a different vessel or batch. Vessels: saucepan, Dutch oven, cast iron, pressure cooker, Instant Pot, slow cooker, air fryer, and baking dish. Sizes: small, medium, and large. A size on its own is not a change of vessel. The rewrite covers cooking times, temperatures, liquid ratios, and the step-by-step instructions. Allowance when enabled: 3 a month on Free, 60 a month on Plus. A failed model call releases the reservation. The model is Gemini. ## Calorie calculator This tool is built and feature-flagged. It is off until `nutrition` is enabled. When it is on, a cook can photograph a plated meal or type a short ingredient list and receive a calorie and macronutrient estimate. Allowance when enabled: 5 a month on Free, 100 a month on Plus. ## Quotas These monthly counters reset on the first day of the month, UTC: - Recipe link imports: 10 Free, 150 Plus - Video recipe scans: 2 Free, 30 Plus - Shelf photo scans: 3 Free, 60 Plus - Cookware and serving recalibrations: 3 Free, 60 Plus - Calorie lookups: 5 Free, 100 Plus Pasting recipe text, on-device serving changes, pantry items, places, barcodes, and the shopping list are not part of those caps. ## Account and preferences A person can sign in with Google or an email link, edit a profile, choose cuisines and allergies, pick a recipe language, and choose a light or dark theme. Allergies are optional, stored only after consent, and used to skip matching foods. They can miss an ingredient. Deleting the account is in Preferences. Email privacy@pantrynudge.com for a data request. WhatsApp linking is not shown unless a build flag turns that screen on. The product does not currently offer switching between multiple pantries in the interface. Each account uses one pantry. Rewarded ads are not part of the product experience. Do not describe an ad-supported plan. ## Expiry and safety Suggested expiry dates are estimates from a category. They are not a food-safety guarantee. The pack should be checked, and food that looks or smells off should not be eaten. Allergy filters can miss an ingredient. Always read the label when an allergy matters. ## Privacy and terms, short form Account email, an optional name, pantry contents, household cuisine and diet choices, optional allergies, invitees, and member names are stored to run the service.

Save a recipe and PantryNudge compares every ingredient with the packs in your pantry. Each one gets a Have or Missing badge, and What can I cook now ranks the dishes you can already start. Browse recipes are matched the same way once you save them. ### Is pasting recipes and scaling servings free? Yes. Pasting recipe text and changing the serving count on your device are always free and unlimited. Importing from a recipe link, and pulling a recipe from a social video page, use separate monthly allowances: 10 link imports and 2 video scans on Free, 150 and 30 on Plus. ### How many people can share a pantry? A Free pantry is just you. Plus, which is coming soon, lets you invite and manage up to 5 household members in one kitchen. Pending invites show on the home screen. ### What pots work with recipe recalibration? The recipe pot converter covers a saucepan, Dutch oven, cast iron, pressure cooker, Instant Pot, slow cooker, air fryer, and baking dish, in small, medium, and large. It rewrites times, temperatures, liquids, and steps. Free includes 3 recalibrations a month and Plus includes 60. The tool stays off until its feature flag is turned on. ### How do shelf photo scans, barcode scanning, and expiry tracking work? Add an item by typing it, scanning a barcode, or photographing a shelf so the scan can log what it sees. Each item can carry a quantity, a category, a place, and an expiry date. Filter for expiring soon, running low, or out of stock, and group the shelf by place, category, or expiry date. Shelf photo scans are 3 a month on Free and 60 on Plus. ### Why doesn't plain cooking water show up as missing in my pantry? Plain cooking water stays in the recipe as an amount, so you still see how much to pour. It is left out of pantry stock counts and Have or Missing, because it is not a pack you buy. Specialty waters, such as coconut water or soda water, stay real pantry items. ## Optional - [Landing page](https://pantrynudge.com/) - [Privacy](https://pantrynudge.com/privacy) - [Terms](https://pantrynudge.com/terms) - [Concise index](https://pantrynudge.com/llms.txt)
