Adding food
Two ways in.
Scan it or snap it.
Logging groceries shouldn't feel like homework. Most hauls take under a minute.
Scan the barcode
Packaged food fills in by itself: name, size and category.
Snap a photo
Produce, meat, a whole shelf. UseUp names what it sees.

Used up
The recipes
Dinners that taste like
you planned them.
UseUp only suggests what you can make right now. It won't force a mismatched fridge into a recipe that makes no sense.
- Your diet
- Set it once. Every recipe follows it.
- Your time
- No more wasting time deciding what to eat.
- Your skill
- Step-by-step instructions and a difficulty rating. If you can boil water, you’re overqualified.

wondering...

- You tell it what’s in your kitchen by scanning barcodes or snapping photos. It only shows recipes you can make right now with what you already have.
- What if I only have random, mismatched ingredients?
- UseUp won’t force every ingredient into one dish. It gives you the best options for what you have.
- How much does it cost?
- UseUp is free for 3 scans and 3 recipe generations a week. For unlimited use, it’s $4.99 a week, $9.99 a month or $29.99 a year, after a 3-day free trial. You’re billed through the App Store and can cancel anytime in Settings.
- Do I need to be a good cook?
- Not even a little. Every recipe has step-by-step instructions, a difficulty rating and a time estimate.

- Yes. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut allergies and more. Set your preferences once and every recipe follows them.
