  • •Bulk photo workflow beats manual ingredient entry by hand
  • •Static PWA with IndexedDB storage requires no accounts or subscriptions
Weaknesses
  • •Recipe-from-ingredients space already has SuperCook and Cooklist
  • •Requires your own Anthropic API key, adding friction and cost

Post Description

I was taking pics of my spice rack and fridge putting it into chatGPT for recipes all the time. So I built an app that visually extracts pics of your groceries and lets you choose some options to generate recipes from what you have.

It's deliberately not a SaaS. No accounts, no server, no subscription, no tracking. It's a static PWA and bring-your-own-key: you paste your own Anthropic key, it's stored only in your browser (IndexedDB).

ReciPath – open-source, offline-first recipe and storage manager

Offline-first, multi-platform Flutter app with an opt-in Supabase sync and a surprising number of niceties: QR-assisted data entry, recipe step timers that record averages, and dashboard charts including calories. It doesn’t reinvent the category — Paprika and AnyList exist — but for someone who wants an open-source, self-hostable-ish alternative with cross-device sync and ingredient conversion/nutrient tracking, this is actually useful and ready to try.
