01
A recipe book that is genuinely yours.
Private the moment you save it. You decide, one recipe at a time, who ever gets to see it.
02
A kitchen with everyone already in it.
Your partner, your parents, your housemates. One invite code and the whole house sees the same week.
03
A grocery list that writes itself.
Whatever lands on the schedule lands on the list, combined, sorted, and shared with everybody cooking.
01 / Kitchens
Everyone at the table gets a key.
A Kitchen is a small private circle. Invite the people you cook with and they see the shared recipes, the week ahead, and the list. Nobody else does.
- 01Owner, co-chef, and member roles so nobody breaks the plan
- 02Join by code or send a shareable invite card
- 03Every edit syncs, including the ones you made with no signal
02 / The week
Dinner, decided on Sunday.
Drag recipes onto a schedule the whole Kitchen can see and edit. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and anything else your house calls a meal.
- 01Custom slots for the meals that are yours, like Iftar or prep day
- 02See who is cooking tonight without having to ask
- 03The grocery list builds itself out of the plan

FAQ
A few things people ask.
Is Chefless available now?
Yes. Chefless is live on both the App Store and Google Play today. Download it free on either platform and start cooking.
Is Chefless free?
The core experience (recipes, Kitchens, scheduling) is free forever. AI recipe import is included free with a daily limit, and a small optional subscription raises the limits, removes the recipe cap, and unlocks extras like unlimited Kitchens and year wrapped exports.
What makes Chefless different from other recipe apps?
Most recipe apps are either a private organizer or a public feed. Chefless is both at once: your recipe book stays private by default, and the social layer is built around Kitchens, small private groups of the people you actually cook with. There are no ads, no algorithmic feed, and no strangers.
Does Chefless do meal planning and grocery lists?
Yes. Drag recipes onto a shared weekly schedule that everyone in your Kitchen sees, and your grocery list builds itself from the plan. It works for solo cooks and whole households.
Can I share recipes with family and friends?
Yes. Create a Kitchen, share the invite code, and everyone in it sees the recipes you choose to share, the week's meal plan, and the shared grocery list. You control sharing recipe by recipe.
Do you share my recipes or sell my data?
Never. Your recipe book is private by default. You choose what to share, with whom, at the recipe level. We do not sell data and there are no ads.
Can I use Chefless offline?
Yes. Your recipes, schedule, and grocery lists work offline and sync when you are back on. Last write wins conflict resolution keeps things simple.
