Every pantry app
becomes a chore.
You type in your groceries for a fortnight, life happens, the inventory drifts out of date — and you stop opening it.
HomeBasket never asks you to type anything. Photograph the receipt you were about to throw away and the pantry builds itself. Then it shows you what you can cook tonight from what’s already on the shelf, leaning the way you asked — and plans the whole week when you want it to.
How it works
Snap your receipt
After any shop. Takes 10 seconds. Point your camera, tap, done.
Review & confirm
App translates the codes. You approve. Fix anything that's off in two taps.
Pantry updates itself
Freshness tracked. List auto-builds. Recipes suggested from what you own.
However your kitchen works,
HomeBasket keeps up.
Running a kitchen shouldn't take
an app drawer.
Most of them want their own subscription — and none of them share what they know. But these were never four separate problems. They're one problem, what your household buys, and every answer is already printed on the receipt. One photo feeds the scores, the recipes, the pantry, and next week's list.
Built for how households
actually work
Everything you own,
at a glance.
Every item you've bought, organised by category. Green dots mean fresh, amber means use soon, red means act now.
Next week's list
writes itself.
HomeBasket learns each item's buying rhythm from your receipts — milk every four days, oil every other week — and drafts your usuals when they come due. You just confirm.
You see what you're
actually buying.
Nutri-Score, full nutrition facts, and honest health notes — for every single item in your pantry. No guessing.
Cook what you
already have.
Over two thousand recipes, matched against your real pantry — cook-tonight first, one-trip next. Say how you'd like meals to lean — higher-protein, vegetable-forward, lighter plates — and suggestions are ordered that way. Saw a recipe on Instagram or TikTok? Save it, and HomeBasket tells you what you're missing.
That reel you saved?
It's dinner now.
Share any recipe from Instagram or TikTok straight to HomeBasket. It becomes a real recipe — ingredients, steps, the creator credited — and gets checked against your pantry on arrival, so you know exactly what you're missing before you're standing in the kitchen.
Know where the money
actually went.
Your spending, by category and store, compared to your budget. No spreadsheet needed. It all flows in from your receipts.
Know what's in it,
before it's in you.
Scan any barcode and the product gets a transparent 0–100 score: Nutri-Score nutrition, flagged additives with their sources, organic certification. No black box — tap the score and see exactly why.
Your shopping,
read back to you.
Say how you'd like meals to lean — higher-protein, vegetable-forward, lighter plates — and every suggestion is ordered that way. Ask for higher-protein meals and HomeBasket reads the protein share of the receipts you already scan: "This month's shopping was 20% protein, up from 17%." No calorie logging. No weigh-ins. No body data, ever.
Use it before
it turns.
Every item gets a shelf-life estimate from the day you bought it, using USDA FoodKeeper data. When something nears its window, HomeBasket shows recipes that use it first — dinner tonight instead of the bin next week.
Planners start from a blank week.
We start from your shelves.
| Meal-planning apps | HomeBasket | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the week starts | A blank week — you pick from their catalogue, they list everything it needs | Your shelves — meals you can cook tonight come first |
| What you buy | A second set of groceries, while the first set is still in the fridge | Only what the plan is missing, in the order you walk the store |
| How your kitchen gets in | You type it, or it never happens | One receipt photo after each shop — a few times a month |
| Your pantry | A list you maintain by hand, if it exists at all | Builds itself from what you actually bought |
| Food waste | Not their problem | Expiry clocks + recipes that rescue what's about to turn |
| What it asks about you | Household size, and often weight, height and age | Nothing about your body. How you'd like meals to lean, if you want to say |
"We'd rather say we're not sure than guess at what you ate."
We couldn't decode this one with confidence. We show you exactly that, instead of guessing and polluting your data.
When we're sure, we tell you fully — the name, category, score, and full nutrition panel. Nothing invented.
HomeBasket is built around one rule: your household data should reflect reality, not our best guesses. If the receipt is illegible, we flag it. If the nutrition database has a gap, we say so.
Honesty isn't a feature. It's the default.
Questions we'd ask too.
