The Recipe App That Finds Meals From Ingredients You Already Have

Custrd is a free recipe app that scans the ingredients you already have and does the deciding for you — it finds real recipes you can cook right now, filtered to your diet.

Free on iPhone · No account needed to look around
Ingredients
Meal Results

A fridge full of food.
And still “nothing to eat.”

It's 6pm, you're staring at the shelves, and it's takeout again — while the groceries you already paid for inch toward the bin. The shopping was never the problem. The thinkingis. So Custrd takes that part: point your camera at what you have, and it shows you what's for dinner.

1
Snap

Point your camera at your fridge, counter, or pantry.

2
Match

Custrd finds real recipes you can make with exactly what you have.

3
Cook

Pick one and cook it tonight — steps, macros, and timing included.

Everything you need


These are real screens from the app, not mockups — swipe through them. Every phone opens if you tap it.

Core Feature

Snap. Match. Cook.

Point your camera at your fridge, counter, or pantry. Custrd names what you have, matches it against real recipes ranked by how close you are to cooking each one — then walks you through the cook, step by step.

  • Core Feature: Snap. Match. Cook. Point your camera at your fridge, counter, or pantry. Custrd names what you have, matches it against real recipes ranked by how close you are to cooking each one — then walks you through the cook, step by step.
  • Kitchen: A kitchen that fills itself in. No typing every carrot in by hand — every scan quietly updates a digital copy of your fridge and pantry, expiry dates included. Custrd flags what to use soon and finds the meal that uses it, so the $6 zucchini becomes dinner instead of trash. (Add items by photo, barcode, or voice — a quick type-in is there when you want it.)
  • List: A shopping list that knows your kitchen. Your list checks your own fridge before you buy — milk shows how little you have left. Ingredients arrive tagged with the recipe they belong to, sort themselves into aisles, and sync live with whoever else is shopping. Send it to Instacart® or shop it yourself.
  • Library: Your cooking, organized. Save any meal into collections that match how you actually eat — Dinner Night, Post-Workout, five-minute breakfasts. Saves are unlimited on every plan.
  • Health: Every meal, scored for your goals. Before you cook, Custrd grades how a dish fits you — overall fit, protein and calorie checks against your targets — so “is this good for me?” stops being a guess.
  • Discovery: Sort by what matters tonight. Best match, highest protein, highest rated, longest or fastest — reorder every result in one tap, so the right meal surfaces instead of getting scrolled past.
  • Speed: Dinner that fits your window. Cap cooking time at 15, 30, or 45 minutes and Custrd only shows meals you can finish in the time you actually have. Weeknights stop being negotiations.
  • Creators: Recipes from real cooks. Chef-made and creator-made dishes carry a badge on the recipe itself — cooked and photographed by the person who submitted them, so you always know whose kitchen it came from.
  • Personalization: Your goals shape every match. Set daily calories and macros once. Custrd tracks your day and matches meals to what's left in your budget — not to some average person's dinner.
  • AI: Custrd Insights — your AI chef. Ask Insights to rewrite a recipe around what you have, hit your macros, or update your Kitchen — in plain language. Five free messages a day; unlimited on Pro.
How it works


Open the app. Snap your ingredients. Custrd searches our entire recipe database and shows you every meal you can make right now — filtered to your diet before you even ask.

  1. Custrd camera pointed at a cutting board of fresh ingredients on a wooden table

    01

    Snap what you have

    Point the camera at your counter, fridge, or a barcode. That's the whole input.

  2. Review screen listing the detected ingredients with photos of the real ingredients above

    02

    Review what it detected

    Custrd names your ingredients and shows its work. You stay in charge of the list.

  3. Meal results screen showing recipes ranked by ingredient match

    03

    Cook a real recipe

    Matches come from a curated library of real dishes — ranked by what you already have.

From recipe to groceries


Every other recipe app stops at “here's what to make.” Custrd hands your missing ingredients straight to the Instacart® app — so the scan ends with groceries on the way.

Custrd ingredient menu with 'Order on Instacart' selected, and the Instacart app open with that ingredient searched and ready to add to a cart
The real flow, unedited: an ingredient in Custrd (left) handed to the Instacart® app with the product searched and ready to add (right).
  1. 01

    Pick a recipe

    Custrd already knows which ingredients you have and which you're missing.

  2. 02

    Tap “Order on Instacart”

    On a single ingredient — or send the recipe's whole list at once.

  3. 03

    Shop and check out

    The list opens in the Instacart® app with your items ready. You pick the store and place the order yourself.

Good to know: checkout happens in your own Instacart account, in regions where the Instacart® service operates (U.S. and Canada). Custrd never places orders for you.
