Pantry Wizard: AI recipes from whatever is left in the fridge.
view on the app store ↗ ios · iphone & ipad
Turn leftovers into your favourite meal — in about 30 seconds. Add ingredients by text, voice or photo, and Pantry Wizard (called Restezauber in the German App Store) turns whatever you already have into three simple recipes.
Ingredients in, recipes out
Snap a photo of what's in the fridge, dictate a list, or type it in — the app recognises more than 30 individual foods in a single image and returns three tailored recipe suggestions in roughly ten seconds, turning what's about to go off into dinner instead of food waste. Portions scale automatically to the number of people, and a grocery list for anything missing is one tap away.
Built around diets and allergies
Vegan, vegetarian, keto, gluten-free, lactose-free, low-carb — Pantry Wizard adapts suggestions to the diet in question, and takes allergies and no-gos into account per household member. Family profiles hold allergies, no-gos, preferences and diets for each person, with separate parent and child modes.
A pantry that feeds the recipes
The pantry tracker keeps use-by dates (month and year), with an "expiring soon" filter and a swipe to mark something used, opened or discarded. Whatever is in the pantry automatically flows back into recipe suggestions — a practical way to cut food waste instead of tossing leftovers. A receipt photo can add a shopping trip to the pantry in one go, and barcode scanning is unlimited, even on the free tier.
- Bulk photo scan: one photo captures up to five products (Pro)
- Voice dictation directly into the pantry (Pro)
- Five languages — recipes appear in the app's own language
- Optional encrypted iCloud sync for settings
- Free tier: ten recipes for the lifetime of the app, up to five pantry items, unlimited barcode scan
Allergies and diets are taken into account as best as possible — there is no guarantee, and the app is not a substitute for checking a label yourself when it matters. Digitalbucht is the sole proprietorship of Emil Deak, based in Wülfrath, Germany.
Data and privacy
For ingredient recognition and recipe generation, photos, any text or voice transcript, and household context (number of people, diets, no-gos, allergies, names you've assigned) are sent encrypted through a self-operated Cloudflare Worker to the OpenAI API — not linked to your Apple ID. OpenAI keeps this data for up to 30 days for abuse prevention and does not use it for training. Barcode scans go to Open Food Facts; speech recognition runs on-device via Apple Speech. Household, people and recipes stay on your device. No tracking, no adverts.
