Made with and for blind people

Your food.
Your call.

A kitchen helper that tells you what you have, what's still good, and what you could cook tonight.

The app, on your phone.

This is a working copy of the real screens, filled with made-up food. Open the fridge, change a count, or tap Tap to talk to hear and see what it does with your voice.

Buttons are big, words are plain, and every screen reads cleanly with VoiceOver. In the real app, Scan and Photo open your camera.

Try

Tap Fridge and change a count.

Then

Tap Tap to talk, a few times, to see what your voice can do.

And

Open Meals and Groceries at the bottom.

Try Tap to talk.

How it works

Add food

Scan a barcode, take a photo of an item, a shelf or a receipt, or just say it.

Knows where it goes

Fridge, freezer or pantry, picked for you. Same food, same brand, one entry with a count.

Reads the date

Point the camera at the label and it saves the date. If there is none, it keeps an estimate and says so.

Use soon

The foods closest to expiring come first, with a reminder in the morning.

Meal ideas

Ideas built from what you have, with your allergies and diets already filtered out.

Grocery list

Say what you ran out of. It comes off the list when you add it to your kitchen.

Voice or touch

Tap to talk and it talks back. Works with VoiceOver too.

Private

Your kitchen stays on your phone.

Coming next

Coming soon

Find your food

Ask where something is, and hear which shelf or door it lives on.

Coming soon

Order groceries

Send your list to a store and have it delivered, with the same voice control.

Why we made it

Deciding what to cook is easy when you can see the shelf. We wanted it to be just as easy for everyone.

Our story

It started with a very ordinary question.

Picture a Tuesday evening. You get home, you're hungry, and you open the fridge. Half an onion, leftover rice, a few eggs. An idea comes together in about four seconds. Nobody thinks of it as a skill. It just happens.

Now picture doing that without being able to see the shelves. What's in there? Did I finish the chicken? Is this the yogurt or the sour cream? A lot of blind people keep all of it in their heads, or ask a friend to take a look, or open a few containers and hope for the best.

It works. But it takes effort, and it means the simplest question in the house, what's for dinner, isn't quite yours to answer on your own.

We wanted to change that, and not with anything flashy. Just a helper that quietly keeps track. You tell it what you bought. It remembers where everything lives and when it should be eaten. Later, when you ask what to cook, it already knows what's in your kitchen.

We made it for voice and touch from the very first day, because it should feel natural, like talking to someone who happens to know your kitchen well. Big buttons. Short answers. Nothing you have to hunt for.

We're early, and we're still learning. If you cook for yourself, or someone you love does, we'd really like to hear what a good day in your kitchen looks like. That's what we're building toward.

Thank you for reading.

Say hello Why us

Why Accessible Pantry

Blind cooks already have good tools. None of them remember your kitchen.

Today you can find out what is in your hand, or ask someone what is in the fridge. What no tool does is keep track: what you bought, where it is, and what needs eating first. That is the whole job of Accessible Pantry.

What people do now, and where it stops

Drawn from guides by Hadley and APH ConnectCenter, listed at the bottom of this page.

Labels, rubber bands and bins

Reliable for whatever you labeled. Every item needs one, labels get lost, and none of it tells you what to eat first.

Asking a sighted person

Works when someone is there. It also means your kitchen runs on their schedule.

Seeing AI and Be My Eyes

Excellent at reading a label or telling you what you are holding right now. You get the answer, and then it is gone.

Siri or Alexa reminders

Helpful, but you enter every date yourself, one item at a time.

Smart speakers

Good for timers, lists and recipes from the internet. They do not know what is in your fridge.

A grocery trip, start to finish

An example with made-up food, to show how the pieces fit together.

Unpacking: Take one photo of your receipt. The app reads it and lists what it found. You confirm, and each food goes to the fridge, freezer or pantry.
Dates: For the milk, the camera opens. You point it at the carton and it saves the date it reads. Anything without a date keeps an estimate, marked as an estimate.
Next morning: At 9 AM it tells you the milk should be used by tomorrow.
Dinner: You ask what you can cook. It reads out ideas built from your kitchen, starting with what expires soonest, with your allergies and diets already filtered out.
Next week: You say you are out of eggs and they go on the grocery list. When you buy them and add them to the kitchen, they come off.

Built around how blind users work

Everything spoken is also written

Each reply shows on screen as well as being said aloud, and the whole app works with VoiceOver.

Big buttons

Every button is at least 64 points tall, well above the usual minimum, so you are not hunting for a small target.

No screen reader needed

Voice mode introduces each screen, listens, and answers aloud, so you can use the whole app by talking.

Honest about guesses

Estimated dates are labeled as estimates. Allergy filters check ingredient names only, and the app says so.

Stays on your phone

Your kitchen is stored on the device. A photo leaves it only when you take one.
