HeyChef — your AI-powered cooking buddy
"What's for dinner tonight?" The fridge is full, but inspiration is nowhere to be found. HeyChef answers for you: snap a photo of your fridge, get personalized recipes, plan your week, and generate your shopping list in a single click.
SCAN YOUR FRIDGE, FIND YOUR RECIPE
Point your phone at the fridge or pantry. HeyChef recognizes your ingredients and suggests recipes you can make right now with what you already have. Less waste, more inspiration.
CHEFBOT: TALK TO IT LIKE A FRIEND
No need for fancy culinary terms. "I've got chicken, I'm feeling lazy, and I don't want to make a huge mess." ChefBot gets it and offers real options. Want to skip the cheese? Swap out the butter? It adapts the recipe, explains the change, and saves your custom version. No fuss, no judgment. And if the recipe you're looking for doesn't exist yet, it creates it on the spot: ingredients, steps, all right inside the chat.
MEAL PLANNER: YOUR WHOLE WEEK ON A SINGLE SCREEN
Pick a day and meal, and the app offers suggestions based on your profile. You approve, swap, or adjust. HeyChef automatically balances proteins, veggies, and carbs throughout the week. Check off meals as you go to keep track of what you've cooked.
ALLERGIES AND DIETARY RESTRICTIONS: SET IT ONCE AND FOR ALL
Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, allergies, or medical restrictions. Set up your profile once, and the app automatically filters everything. Every recipe shown is one you can actually eat—no need to double-check ingredients every single time.
AUTOMATIC SHOPPING LISTS
One tap, and your grocery list is generated straight from your meal plan. Share it with whoever's running to the store—no more relying on memory or scribbled notes.
A COMMUNITY, NOT A DATABASE
Follow cooks who inspire you, see their recipes in your personalized feed, comment, reply, and share your own creations. Real people cooking everyday meals, not an anonymous catalog.
HANDS COVERED IN FLOUR? USE YOUR VOICE
Follow your recipe step-by-step using voice commands and navigate without touching your screen.
NUTRITION, HASSLE-FREE
Nutritional values on every recipe, recalculated automatically whenever you adjust quantities.
AN AI YOU CAN TRUST
ChefBot double-checks its own modifications before showing them to you, ensuring trustworthy recipe tweaks.
MAKE IT YOURS
Pick your app theme color—purple, orange, or green—and organize your kitchen just the way you like.
HEYCHEF IS MADE FOR YOU IF…
You open the fridge three times a night without finding a single idea.
You eat the exact same thing every week and feel stuck in a rut.
You keep throwing away forgotten veggies from the back of the crisper drawer.
You want to eat better without spending your whole evening in the kitchen or counting calories.
You have allergies or dietary needs and are sick of reading fine-print labels.
You're a beginner cook who wants friendly guidance without being made to feel clueless.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At HeyChef, there's zero judgment. Ordering takeout, dining out, skipping a week of cooking—that's life. Going from cooking 0 days a week to 2 is already a win. We're here to guide you step-by-step, not to lecture you.
Download HeyChef for free and never stare blankly at your fridge again.
