Open the fridge. Three vegetables, half an onion, some leftover
chicken. Wonder what to make. Wish you could ask a chef who knows
what to do with exactly that.
Fridge Poet does exactly that. Pick a chef, list 1–5 ingredients you
have on hand, and get a recipe written in that chef's voice — their
techniques, their flavor language, their personality. Same fridge,
a different dinner depending on who you ask.

COOK-OFF MODE (premium)
Pick two chefs. They get the same fridge. They each produce their
own recipe — different techniques, different result. You read both,
then crown a winner. The winning chef earns a permanent gold star
that lives in your in-app rankings. Share your chef leaderboard as
a poster-style image straight to social. Included with Fridge Poet
Pro.
PICK A COURSE TYPE
Choose Main, Side, or Dessert. For a main, the chef quietly fills
in any missing pillar — protein, carbs, fat, or fiber — so the dish
is actually balanced. For a side, they keep it focused. For dessert,
they lean sweet.
PER-SERVING NUTRITION + RECIPE SCALING
Every recipe shows estimated protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and
calories per serving — computed locally from your ingredient amounts,
not guessed by the LLM, so the numbers stay consistent. Tap
½× / 1× / 2× / 3× to scale amounts and nutrition for exactly how
many you're feeding.
VOICE INPUT
Tap the mic and just say what's in your fridge. Transcription
happens on your device — no audio leaves your phone.
INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTES
Out of gochujang? Out of fish sauce? Out of rosemary? Tap the swap
icon for instant substitutions with the right ratio. Chef-suggested
ingredients always come with a swap option, so you can cook even
when the pantry doesn't quite match.
ENTIRELY BILINGUAL
Korean and English from day one. The app auto-detects your system
language and lets you switch anytime in Settings. Recipes are
generated in your chosen language — Korean reads like Korean,
English reads like English. Not translated.
NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, ANONYMOUS ANALYTICS ONLY
No sign-up. No name, email, location, or contacts collected. Your
saved recipes live only on your device. No advertising in the app.
The only data we collect is fully anonymous funnel events (which
screens get used, which buttons get tapped) to help us improve the
app — never tied to you personally.
