Chefless: Family Meal Planner

Chefless is a recipe keeper, meal planner, and shared grocery list in one app. Save recipes from a link, photo, or screenshot, plan the week with your family in a Kitchen, shop from one list, and share a photo of every meal.

Bring in recipes from anywhere
Paste a link from a recipe website or a public social media post with the recipe in its caption. Or paste the text, or take photos of a cookbook page, a screenshot, or a handwritten card, up to four at a time. Share a link or screenshot to Chefless from another app to start an import. You check each recipe before you save it, and any missing amount stays blank for you to fill in.

Keep recipes the way you like them
A recipe holds up to five photos, ingredients, steps, cooking times, servings, and tags like Halal, Vegetarian, Vegan, and Gluten-Free. Choose private or shared for each recipe, group recipes into cookbooks, or make your own version of another cook's recipe, called a remix, with their name kept as the original.

Plan meals together in a Kitchen
A Kitchen is where your household plans meals and shops together, on one shared calendar. Members suggest meals, and the Head Chef, or someone they choose, approves them. Members say whether they are coming, and the Head Chef can tell everyone when the food is ready. Invite people with a link, and your private recipes stay yours alone.

Plan the week and shop once
See your plan by week, month, or year, with servings for each meal. Plan leftovers, or copy a week your family liked. Then make one shopping list from your plan or your Kitchen's plan for the days you pick. Chefless adds repeated ingredients together, and you can group items by aisle. When the plan changes, update the list: it keeps what you checked and what you added. Send what is left to buy to anyone with Send list.

Plates
Snap a photo of each meal and share it with your followers and your Kitchen, or keep it just for you. Link a plate to a recipe to show you cooked it. Friends react with Yum, Chef's kiss, I want this, or Wow. Your profile keeps a calendar of your plates, a recap of each month, and a year collage you can share.

Cook mode
Cook mode shows one step at a time, with timers that alert you when they finish (allow notifications). Amounts follow your servings, in metric or imperial, and your screen stays on. Ask a question about the recipe you are cooking; the first one is free.

Find something new to cook
Home opens on the newest recipes people shared, with cooks to follow and ideas for your next dinner. Pick a @username, follow friends, mention them in comments, and share a recipe or a plate as a story card. Search by cuisine, dietary need, meal, and cooking time. Your passport collects a stamp for each of 166 cuisines you cook.

Your language and your privacy
Chefless works in English, Arabic, Turkish, and Spanish. Keep your account and recipes private, block people, and report a recipe, comment, plate, or profile. Delete your account and its data from Settings. You will not see ads.

Free and Chefless Premium
A free account includes up to five recipes (your own and saved ones together), one remix, one cookbook, planning from two days before today to two days after, and a Kitchen with up to two members. Cook mode, Plates, shopping lists, following other cooks, and the passport cost nothing.

Chefless Premium gives you unlimited recipes, remixes, and cookbooks, the full calendar, and unlimited members in a Kitchen you lead. It also includes the AI Recipe Helper, which writes a recipe from ingredients you have, suggests swaps for a dietary need, or tidies rough notes. It shares a limit of 20 uses a day with imports that read a photo, a caption, or pasted text. Pantry and What You Can Cook show the recipes you can make with what is in your kitchen. Chefless Premium costs $5.99 a month or $34.99 a year, and you can cancel any time in your store subscription settings.
