The problem
You have food. You still don't know what to cook.
A half-full fridge, no plan
The food's there. The recipe ideas aren't. So dinner becomes “snack and call it a night”.
Recipes for ingredients you don't have
Most recipe apps need you to start with the recipe. Yours starts with the carrot that's wilting.
Forgotten ingredients
The spinach in the back. The half can of beans. The chicken from Sunday. They expire faster than they get used.
The same three meals on repeat
Without a planner, “what to cook with what I have” defaults to pasta or eggs again.
Grocery lists that ignore your kitchen
You buy duplicate spinach because the planner didn't know about the first bag.
The promise
Start with what you have. Plan around it.
Dietrack is a meal planner from ingredients you already have. Open the app, snap a photo of your fridge, your receipt, or your pantry shelf, and Dietrack reads what's there. From that, it writes meal ideas you can actually cook tonight — and a weekly plan that uses ingredients in expiry order, so the spinach gets eaten before it wilts. The grocery list it generates is the gap between your plan and your kitchen, not a clean-slate shopping spree.
How it works
From “what's in here?” to dinner in three taps.
Snap
Snap or list what you have
Open the camera at your fridge, scan a receipt, or type a few ingredients. Dietrack adds them to your pantry instantly.
Constrain
Set the constraints
“20 minutes, one pan, low carb.” Or just leave it open and see what comes back.
Cook

Each idea uses what you have first. Ingredients about to expire are at the top.

Expiry-aware ranking
Meals that use the about-to-go-bad spinach are at the top.
Leftover-friendly meals
Half a chicken breast and some rice can be Tuesday's dinner.
and one more thing

Planning that fits real life.

Use-it-up nudges
A small reminder when the cilantro is on day six.
Freezer-aware suggestions
Cooked too much? Mark it for the freezer; it comes back as a meal idea on a busy night.
One app. Less stuff to think about.
Meal ideas, grocery lists, and a kitchen that always knows what's there.
Who it's for
Built for the night you don't feel like writing a list.
THE WEEKNIGHT
For “what do I have in here?”
Open the fridge, point the camera, get one dinner you can cook now. The planner remembers what you cooked, so tomorrow's idea isn't the same one.
THE WEEK
For Sunday meal-prep
Build the whole week from what's already in the kitchen.
THE LEFTOVERS
For mid-week leftovers
Half a roast chicken → tomorrow's lunch.
THE BUDGET
For shopping less
Use what you have first; the grocery list shrinks.
THE FREEZER
For freezer rescues
Plans that pull from the freezer when it's been forgotten.

In plain English
A meal planner from ingredients, in plain English.
A meal planner from ingredients flips the usual order. Instead of picking a recipe and writing a shopping list, you start with the food that's already in the kitchen and the planner figures out what to make. The result is fewer trips to the supermarket, fewer duplicate buys, and fewer half-used vegetables in the bin.
Dietrack pairs the planner with a live pantry inventory and a fridge inventory, so what you have and what you cook are reading the same source. The same engine writes the AI recipe generator from ingredients and the full AI meal planner — one for tonight, one for the week.
If you've ever stared at a half-full fridge and resorted to ordering in, this is the planner that ends that. Free to download on iOS and Android — read the FAQ for what's included.
