About this app

It's 6pm. The fridge is full — but there's "nothing to make."

Elio fixes that. It's the recipe app that knows your kitchen: it writes dinner from what's actually on your shelves, plans the week, fills the shopping list, and cooks it with you.

Cook what you have. That's the whole idea.

IT WRITES DINNER
Tell Elio what's in your pantry — or snap a grocery receipt and scan barcodes (Pro) — then tell it what you fancy: "something soupy," "high-protein," "use the chicken thighs." Tap once and a real, step-by-step recipe streams in, grounded in your ingredients, your diet, your schedule, and the appliances you actually own. Missing one thing? Swap that ingredient and keep the recipe. The spinach you forgot you bought? That's tonight's dinner, not Sunday's bin.

IT PLANS THE WEEK (PRO)
All the planning of a meal kit — none of the box. Plan exactly the days and meals you want — dinners only, Monday to Wednesday? Fine. Pick your cuisines, write the brief yourself ("high-protein taco Tuesday"), or go wild and let Elio surprise you. Don't love one meal? Regenerate just that one. Your groceries, your prices, your call.

IT FILLS THE LIST (PRO)
No copying out ingredients, no buying doubles. Elio builds an aisle-sorted grocery list from your meal plan and adds only what you're actually missing — because it knows what's already in the cupboard.

IT COOKS IT WITH YOU
Raw-chicken fingers? Just ask for the next step. Cook mode reads the recipe with you, sets timers, and answers by voice — you never touch the screen mid-recipe. Elio doesn't hand you a recipe and leave; it stays for the cooking.

ONE HOME FOR ALL YOUR RECIPES (PRO)
Found it on TikTok, Instagram, a website, or a photo of a handwritten card? Send it to Elio and it becomes a clean, cookable recipe — every recipe you save, organized in one recipe book, right next to everything Elio writes for you. And because Elio knows your kitchen, it can tell you whether tonight's the night. Saved recipes stop being bookmarks and start being dinners.

ONE TABLE, EVERYONE FED (PRO)
One vegan, one gluten-free, one fussy seven-year-old? Save a profile for everyone in the household and Elio writes one dinner the whole table can eat.

LESS WASTE, ZERO SCRAMBLE
Elio is built to end the two worst kitchen feelings: the 6pm "what's for dinner" scramble, and the quiet guilt of food waste. Cook from what you have, and both disappear.

FREE TO START COOKING
Download free and get fresh AI recipes every week — no card needed. When you want Elio to run the whole loop, Pro (7-day free trial) unlocks unlimited recipes, receipt & barcode scanning, the meal planner, smart shopping lists, recipe import, and household profiles.

Open the fridge, not ten recipe tabs. Elio makes dinner the easy part.
Knows your kitchen. Writes dinner, plans your week, cooks it with you.
