Photograph what's inside — or scan a receipt, scan a\nbarcode, or just type it in — and Mealkit gives you 3 real recipes built\nfrom what you actually have. Not a shopping list of things to go buy\nfirst. Not a meal plan for a version of your kitchen that doesn't exist.\nWhat's actually there, tonight.\n\nMealkit is a paid subscription app. Every membership starts with a 3-day\nfree trial, and continued access requires an auto-renewing subscription,\nMealkit Pro (full pricing below).\n\nHOW IT WORKS\n\nShow Mealkit your kitchen.\nPhotograph your fridge or counter, scan a grocery receipt, scan a\nbarcode, or type your ingredients in by hand. Whatever's fastest for\nyou.\n\nGet 3 recipes, built for what you have.\nMealkit reads your ingredients and generates three real recipes around\nthem — not around a product it wishes you'd bought. Pick Easy when you\nwant something fast and forgiving, or Chef when you want to put in more\neffort. Filter by Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, or High-protein\ndepending on what you're cooking for.\n\nCook without losing your place.\nA guided, step-by-step cook mode walks you through the recipe one step\nat a time, with timers built in, so you're not scrolling back and forth\nwith wet hands.\n\nSave what's worth making again.\nFavorite the recipes that land, and they're there next time — no\nrebuilding the same search.\n\nWHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT\n\nMealkit doesn't hand you a weekly grocery list or assume a pantry you\ndon't have. It looks at what's actually sitting in your kitchen right\nnow and works from there. You don't need to create an account to get\nstarted — Sign in with Apple is optional, and it's only there to sync\nyour saved recipes across devices.\n\nYOUR PRIVACY\n\nPhotos you take for ingredient scanning are used only to spot what's in\nthem — they're never stored or saved. Mealkit doesn't track you across\nother apps or websites.\n\nSUBSCRIPTION\n\nFull access to Mealkit — generating recipes, guided cook mode, and\nsaving favorites — requires Mealkit Pro, an auto-renewing subscription.\nEvery membership begins with a 3-day free trial. After the trial, it\ncontinues at $49.99 per year or $4.99 per week (one plan per trial).\nPayment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.\nSubscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at\nleast 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel\nanytime in your Apple ID account settings. Any unused portion of a free\ntrial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.\n\nTerms of Use: https://getmealkit.app/terms\nPrivacy Policy: https://getmealkit.app/privacy","facts":{"developer_id":6775846098,"developer_url":null,"first_released":"2026-08-03T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://mealkit-legal.vercel.app/","privacy_url":"https://getmealkit.app/privacy","website_url":null,"app_version":"1.1.1","release_notes":"Fixes for getting started, and a place to enter a code.","rating_current_version":5,"rating_count_current_version":1,"star_counts":[0,0,0,0,1],"genres":["Food & Drink"],"languages":["EN"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-13T11:13:12.883Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-13T21:39:13.298Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-13T11:49:13.202Z","placed_at":"2026-11-13T11:40:12.926Z","scored_at":"2026-11-13T21:46:12.829Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Builds three recipes from ingredients you photograph, scan, or type in, using what is actually in your kitchen.","what_is":"Mealkit is a food and drink app that reads ingredients from a fridge photo, grocery receipt, barcode, or typed list.
