Every night, millions of home cooks stare into the fridge and wonder what to make — then drive to the store for ingredients they already have, while last week’s groceries quietly expire.
Chefrson turns that around: it knows your pantry, learns the stores near you, and suggests meals ranked by how much you already own — ready now, a quick corner run, or a real grocery trip. Cook a suggested recipe and the meal logs itself against your nutrition goals. Save any recipe from a YouTube video, a website, or a photo. Share cookbooks as a /c/<slug> link your family actually cooks from.
Web is live at chefrson.com; Android is in closed beta (Play internal track); iOS to follow.
What it does
- Nutrition tracking that logs itself — a daily “Today” view tracks calories and macros against your goals, and finishing a recipe in Cook Mode logs the meal automatically. No manual food-diary grind.
- Inventory-aware meal planning — knows what’s in your pantry, what’s expiring, and what’s nearby. Suggests meals ranked by how much you already have; onboarding can seed your pantry from a single fridge photo.
- AI recipe capture — paste a YouTube URL, snap a cookbook photo, or describe a dish. Chefrson structures it into ingredients, steps, and nutrition — and you can export everything back out from Settings (your recipes stay yours).
- Hands-free cooking — Cook Mode narrates steps aloud, and the ChefGPT voice assistant answers mid-recipe questions without touching the screen.
- Hard allergen enforcement — declared allergens are filtered server-side on every AI suggestion and generated meal plan, not just hidden in the UI.
- Proactive expiry alerts — opt-in push notifications with per-type preferences, built end-to-end on FCM; the daily send trigger is pending activation.
- Shareable cookbooks — publish a collection as a
/c/<slug>link anyone can open and cook from, no account required. - AI search — find recipes by meaning, not just keywords. “Comfort food for a cold night” actually works.
