Common questions
Is Cookeya free?
Yes. Cookeya is free on iPhone and Android, with no subscription, no advertising and no paid tier. The full recipe catalog, the pantry, the weekly plan and the shopping list are all included.
What does Cookeya actually do?
Cookeya keeps a list of the food in your kitchen along with expiry dates, then ranks recipes by how much of each one you can already make. Recipes that use up food about to go off are ranked first, so the app is as much about wasting less as it is about deciding dinner.
Do I need an account?
You need an account to use the app, because your pantry and cookbook are tied to it. You do not need one to read the recipes on this website. Deleting the account deletes the data; the option is in the app under You, and there is a web form as well.
Does Cookeya work offline?
Yes. Your pantry, cookbook, weekly plan and shopping list are stored on the device in a local database and are readable and editable with no connection. Syncing that data to your account is optional and off until you turn it on.
How does Cookeya handle food allergies?
Recipes containing an allergen you have listed are removed from results entirely, before ranking, rather than being shown greyed out. There is no setting to disable this. Cookeya reports how many recipes it hid so the count is never silent.
What languages does Cookeya support?
English and Spanish, including every recipe, ingredient and filter — not just the interface. Search matches across both, so searching an ingredient in Spanish finds recipes whose English titles never mention it.
Can I add my own recipes?
Yes. You can write a recipe from scratch or import one from a link, and photograph a page if the recipe is on paper. Your edits live on your copy of the recipe; the catalog original is never modified.
How is Cookeya different from a normal recipe app?
A normal recipe app starts from a dish and tells you what to buy. Cookeya starts from what you already own and tells you what you can cook, ordered by what is closest to spoiling. The shopping list is the last step rather than the first.
