How ScanYourFridge Works

From fridge to feast in 3 simple steps. No typing, no searching - just snap, confirm, and cook.

Step 1

Snap Your Ingredients

Open the app on any device and point your camera at an ingredient. Take a clear photo, and our AI instantly identifies what it is.

We use one-ingredient-per-photo scanning for maximum accuracy - better than apps that try to scan your entire fridge at once.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use good lighting - natural light works best
  • Get close enough so the item fills most of the frame
  • Keep the background simple when possible
  • Works with packaged or fresh items

Step 2

Build Your Ingredient List

Confirm each detected ingredient with a tap. The AI shows its confidence level and alternative suggestions if it's not 100% sure.

Keep scanning to build your ingredient list. Your list is saved locally on your device - no account needed, and your data stays private.

Pro Tips

  • Scan 3-5 main ingredients for best recipe matches
  • Don't forget basics like eggs, milk, or cheese
  • Check alternative suggestions if detection seems off
  • Clear your list anytime to start fresh
