A camera, a shelf, and a working dinner.
You moved out, you have three pans, and the cilantro is wilting. Shelfie sees what is in the fridge and picks dinner. No recipe browsing, no half-bought ingredients, no shame about a thawed chicken thigh.
Dinner from what was already there.

What you will actually use
The corners of the app that earn their keep in this kitchen.
Take a Shelfie
Point. Shoot. Shelfied.
Open the camera, hold it over the shelf, and Shelfie sees every ingredient at once — including the half-onion in the back. Four-second scan, on-device for privacy.
Rescue Recipes
Cook what is about to go.
When milk has two days left and the avocado is on edge, Shelfie suggests a recipe that uses both first. No more cooking sad surplus.
Cook Mode
Hands-free cooking.
Voice-driven step-through with timers, sound cues, and pantry deduction as you cook. Keeps your phone out of grease range.
Expiry Awareness
Know what dies tomorrow.
Shelfie tracks shelf life by item type — not a single arbitrary expiry date. Cooked chicken? Three days. Hard cheese? Three weeks. Calibrated to how you actually store it.
