Six things it does, and it does them properly.
Kitchenry covers the whole run from finding a recipe to standing at the hob with it. Here is each part, drawn from the app itself rather than from a mock.
Bring recipes in from wherever they live.
Paste a link and Kitchenry reads the page. Photograph a cookbook spread and it reads that too. Whatever route you take, you land on the same review step and get to correct anything before it saves.
- ✓Reads a link, a photograph, a file or pasted text
- ✓Shows you what it found before anything is saved
- ✓Flags the lines it is unsure about instead of guessing quietly
Keep the weeknight ten away from the project bakes.
Group recipes into books that match how you actually cook. Share one with the household and everybody sees the same shelf, including whatever you added this morning.
- ✓Any recipe can sit in more than one book
- ✓Share a book with the household and everyone sees it
- ✓A book knows its own count, so nothing goes missing
Decide once on Sunday, not seven times at six o'clock.
Drop recipes onto days and set the servings for each slot. Every day shows what is filled and what is still open, and the shopping list follows from whatever you planned.
- ✓Scale servings per slot, not per recipe
- ✓The shopping list follows from the plan automatically
- ✓Repeat a favourite weekly without retyping it
A list that matches the way the shop is laid out.
Items group themselves by aisle so you are not walking back for one onion. Shopping Mode keeps the screen awake and the rows big enough to tick with a thumb while you are holding a basket.
- ✓Grouped by aisle in the order you walk them
- ✓Shopping Mode keeps the screen awake
- ✓Items you already have are left off the list
Cook without touching the screen.
One step at a time, set large enough to read from a step back. Say next to move on. Timers sit beside the step that needs them, so you start one without hunting for a clock.
- ✓One step at a time at a readable size
- ✓Say next to move on with your hands full
- ✓Timers live next to the step that starts them
Ask the question you would ask a friend who cooks.
What can I make with these three things. Halve this for two. Swap the buttermilk for something I have. Cheffry answers inside the recipe you are looking at, and points at your own library rather than the whole internet.
- ✓Answers inside the recipe you are reading
- ✓Points at recipes you already saved
- ✓Rewrites servings and swaps ingredients on request

Import a few of the ones you cook most and judge it on those. The free plan is enough to tell.
