How it works

From the back of the fridge to dinner in three steps.

    Best by Oct 14, read from the label

    Step 1

    Scan or snap it.

    Scan the barcode or snap a photo of your groceries. UseUp fills in each item and when it expires.

    Step 2

    See what’s about to go.

    Step 3

    Cook it tonight.

    Pick what to use up. Get five recipes built around it, matched to your diet and skill level.

Adding food

Two ways in.
Scan it or snap it.

Logging groceries shouldn't feel like homework. Most hauls take under a minute.

Scan the barcode

Packaged food fills in by itself: name, size and category.

Snap a photo

Produce, meat, a whole shelf. UseUp names what it sees.

FAQ

You're probably wondering...

How does UseUp know what recipes to suggest?
You tell it what’s in your kitchen by scanning barcodes or snapping photos. It only shows recipes you can make right now with what you already have.
What if I only have random, mismatched ingredients?
UseUp won’t force every ingredient into one dish. It gives you the best options for what you have.
How much does it cost?
UseUp is free for 3 scans and 3 recipe generations a week. For unlimited use, it’s $4.99 a week, $9.99 a month or $29.99 a year, after a 3-day free trial. You’re billed through the App Store and can cancel anytime in Settings.
Do I need to be a good cook?
Not even a little. Every recipe has step-by-step instructions, a difficulty rating and a time estimate.
Can I filter for dietary restrictions?
Yes. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut allergies and more. Set your preferences once and every recipe follows them.
