Welcome home, Alex
  1. 1

    6:30 PM

    You arrive home, tired.

    No plan, half a fridge, and a head full of the day. IO Recipe quietly opens with one question already answered: what can you cook tonight?

  2. 2

    6:31 PM

    The fridge opens. The pantry is read.

    Tomatoes, garlic, spinach, half a tin of chickpeas. The assistant builds a picture of your real kitchen and flags what to use first.

  3. 3

    6:32 PM

    The AI thinks ahead.

    Nutrition, budget, time, waste and what you actually like — weighed in seconds. Three good options. No endless lists.

  4. 4

    6:34 PM

    You tap one. Cooking begins.

    Step by step. Gentle timers. Encouragement when it matters. A friend on the counter, not another recipe page.

  5. 5

    6:52 PM

    Dinner is on the table. The week takes shape.

    Five more dinners planned around what you already have, what's expiring, and the time you'll actually have.

  6. 6

    Tomorrow

    One short list, only what's missing.

    Six items, grouped by aisle. Estimated £12.40. About £18 less than ordering in for the same nights.

The bigger picture

Not another recipe app. A household platform.

Cooking is the beginning. IO Recipe is built to grow into the quiet intelligence layer for the whole kitchen: planning, shopping, eating well, wasting less, and one day, talking to your appliances.

Why it's different

Most apps give you recipes.
IO Recipe gives you decisions.

Context, not search

It starts from your kitchen, your time, your budget. Not a search box.

Generator + evaluator

AI proposes options and a second AI scores them for nutrition, waste, cost and confidence.

Quiet by design

No streaks, no notifications, no shouting. Useful when needed, invisible the rest of the time.
