Fridge-first meal planning

Eat what you already have before it becomes a bin decision.

Eco Kitchen turns your fridge into a short, useful checklist: what needs attention tonight, what you can cook now, and what belongs on the shopping list next.

The Eco Kitchen loop

One small habit, repeated when it matters.

Check tonight

The app surfaces the few items that need a decision now, not your entire fridge.

Cook from what’s there

Recipes are ranked by what you already have, what expires soon, and what is quickest.

Shop with memory

Missing ingredients move to a list, and bought items can go straight back into the fridge.

Built for normal kitchens

No spreadsheet. No guilt dashboard. Just the next useful action.

  • Tonight mode Three high-signal cards for food that should be used first.
  • Recipe matching Shows what you can cook now and what you are missing.
  • Fridge inventory Grouped by category, urgency, name, and household use.
  • Scanning and manual add Camera entry when useful, manual entry when faster.
  • Points and streaks Positive reinforcement for using food, not shame for binning it.
