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.
Chefrson scans your pantry, learns the stores near you, and suggests three meals you can cook tonight — ready now, a quick corner run, or a real grocery trip. Save any recipe from a YouTube video, a website, or a photo. Share cookbooks as a link your family actually cooks from.
Cross-platform: web today, Android closed beta, iOS to follow.
What it does
- AI recipe extraction — paste a YouTube URL, snap a cookbook photo, or describe a dish. Chefrson structures it into ingredients, steps, and nutrition.
- Inventory-aware meal planning — knows what’s in your pantry, what’s expiring, and what’s on sale nearby. Suggests meals ranked by how much you already have.
- Proactive expiry alerts — opt-in push notifications, with per-type preferences, warn you before pantry items go off. Built end-to-end on FCM, with a daily scheduled job that now sends expiry pushes to opted-in users. (Nearby-store proximity alerts are a separate, off-by-default toggle and aren’t geofence-triggered yet.)
- Shareable cookbooks — publish a collection as a
/c/<slug>link anyone can open and cook from, no account required. - Semantic search — find recipes by meaning, not just keywords. “Comfort food for a cold night” actually works.
