"What can I cook with what's already here?"
Tell Recidex what's in your kitchen — once. Open the cook page any night and we show you the recipes that match what you have, ranked by how few things you need to grab.
No one else does this. Yummly tells you about a recipe; Mealime sells you a meal kit; Recidex looks at your actual inventory and meets you at "tonight."

Need 1 — fresh parsley

A peek at the cook tonight view
Your week becomes a grocery list.
One tap turns your meal plan into a smart shopping list — duplicate ingredients merged, everything sorted by aisle, and it works offline right in the store. Check items off as you go, or take the list online to shop from home.
How it works
- 1 Plan Pick recipes for the week
- 2 List One tap builds your grocery list, merged and aisle-sorted
- 3 Shop Check off in the store, or shop it online
From discover to dinner — and back to the table
Six stages, one app. Every recipe you find ends up where you'll actually use it.
Discover
Browse the public Recidex Kitchen and follow home cooks whose taste you trust. Their new recipes show up in yours automatically.
Save
Import from any URL, snap a photo of a recipe card, or type from memory. AI fills in the structure for you.
Plan
Tap to add recipes to your weekly calendar. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks — it's all there.
Shop
One tap builds your grocery list from the meal plan — merged smartly, sorted by aisle, and it works offline. Check off in the store, or take it online to shop from home.
Cook
Full-screen Cook Mode walks you through each step with built-in timers. Just follow along.
Share
Share with your household automatically; invite friends to a cookbook; let the recipes you love spread to the people you cook for.
Why Recidex
Things you won't find anywhere else.
AI recipe scanning
Photograph grandma's handwritten recipe card or a page from a cookbook. Our AI turns it into a structured recipe in seconds.
Smart grocery lists
Every recipe and meal plan rolls into one grocery list — duplicate ingredients merged, sorted by aisle, and it works offline in the store. Check off as you go, or take it online to shop from home.
Your inventory, always in sync
Track what's in your kitchen once. Every recipe then shows what you already have vs. what you're missing, and your grocery list skips what's on the shelf — no double-buying.
Built for families
Share recipes, meal plans, and grocery lists with your partner. One kitchen, both accounts — every other recipe app treats cooking as a solo sport.
Family recipes stay private
Keep grandma's secret sauce off the public feed. Friends can request access and you grant who gets in — no full-public, no cookbook-share required.
Cook Mode
Large step-by-step text with built-in timers. Stop juggling between the recipe and your phone's clock — Recidex walks you through every step hands-free.
Works offline, everywhere
Lose signal in the kitchen, the grocery aisle, the cabin? Recidex keeps working. Recipes, meal plans, your grocery list — all available offline. Edits sync the moment you're back online.
Cookbooks + follow chefs
Organize your recipes into cookbooks — keep them personal or share with family. Follow home cooks whose taste you trust; their new recipes show up in your kitchen automatically.
Some recipes are gifts. Some are secrets.
Recidex lets you choose recipe by recipe. Not "all public" or "all private" — three concrete levels, plus a friendly way for someone to ask.
Personal
Just your household.
Grandma's secret sauce, the messy family roast, the birthday cake your daughter named. Visible only to people in your household — not on the public feed, not in a shared cookbook.
Friends can request access and you decide who gets in.
Cookbooks
Trade recipes with the right circle.
Make a cookbook for your in-laws, your running club, the friend group that swaps weeknight dinners. Add a recipe in once and everyone in that circle sees it — without it leaking onto the public feed.
Each cookbook is a separate circle. Same recipe can be in zero, one, or many.
Public
Spread what you're proud of.
The recipes you've nailed, the ones you'd cook for a neighbor without hesitation. Land them on the Recidex Kitchen for anyone to discover, follow, and add to their week.
Followers see your new recipes automatically; no algorithm, no paywall.
Already using another recipe app?
Recidex is the one that does the boring parts — sharing, planning, shopping, offline — without making you pay or boxing you in.
Random recipe blogs
1,500 words about a Tuscan trip before the ingredient list. Recidex paste-imports the URL and strips the noise.
Paprika
Doesn't share with your spouse. Each device pays separately, recipes don't sync between accounts.
NYT Cooking
Paywalls everything. Your own family recipes? You still have to type them in elsewhere.
Mealime / Yummly
Locks you into their meal kits or their feed. You can't import your grandma's recipe card.
Recidex does all of it — household sharing, your own recipes, offline shopping, AI scanning, free.
Stop losing recipes. Start cooking with confidence.
Your grandmother's secret sauce, that TikTok recipe, tonight's dinner plan — all in one app that actually makes cooking easier.
