About Chive: Kitchen & Pantry
Chive turns your grocery list into a digital pantry as you shop, then helps you cook with what you already have. Save your favorite recipes from anywhere, keep them organized, and add any missing ingredients to your list in one tap, because Chive knows what’s in your kitchen. With Chive, your grocery list, pantry, and recipes stay connected, so you can spend less time figuring out dinner and waste less food. A SHOPPING LIST THAT WORKS FOR YOU Sorted by store aisle, with price tracking, predictive restocking suggestions based on your shopping routine, and shared live with your home for co-shopping in real time. Add items on the go using our Siri integration. Prefer delivery? Send your list to the Instacart® app in a tap. A PANTRY THAT BUILDS ITSELF When you shop using Chive, everything you buy lands in the right spot in your pantry automatically, with expiration dates and nutrition. You can also add items to your pantry by taking a photo of groceries on your counter, scanning a barcode or a receipt, or even dictating a list. NEVER WASTE FOOD Chive knows food, not just barcodes. Fresh cilantro keeps about 3 days in the fridge; dried coriander keeps 3 years in the spice rack. Every item gets an expiration date for the form it is actually in, and where it actually lives, then a reminder before it turns, so it gets eaten instead of tossed. SAVE RECIPES FROM ANYWHERE Import recipes from Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, a link, a screenshot, or a photo of a cookbook page. Cook hands-free with an optional voice assistant that knows the recipe you're making and can offer cooking tips. Ask Chive to modify any recipe and save your version. Smart collections organize themselves based on your preferences as your cookbook grows. DINNER IDEAS FROM WHAT YOU HAVE Chive knows your pantry, recipes, and the preferences you share, so it answers what a general chatbot can't. Ask "what can I cook tonight?" and get recipes you can start right now from trusted sources. Say "Add the ingredients for mushroom risotto to my list." It checks your kitchen, scales to your servings, and confirms before it acts. SHARE YOUR WHOLE KITCHEN Invite your partner, roommate, or family with a link. One pantry, one list, one recipe collection. Everyone in sync. MORE THAN ONE HOME Have a cottage, office fridge, or second place? Chive can track more than one home, each with its own pantry and grocery list, all under one account. SWITCHING FROM ANOTHER APP? Bring your kitchen with you. Import your pantry and recipes from Paprika, Kitchen Pal, Samsung Food, Recime, or any CSV or spreadsheet. ALSO INSIDE - Barcode scanning with product lookup - Price history and purchase tracking - Buy-local flags on items from your region - Cooking timers, unit conversion, and serving scaling - "Up Next": line up several meals and shop for all of them at once with our meal planner - Works on iPhone and on the web - MCP server that lets you connect Claude or ChatGPT directly to your pantry YOUR KITCHEN, YOUR DATA Your data isn't sold, isn't used for ads, and isn't used to train AI.

What’s new
Version 1.5.10 · Updated October 22, 2026
Scanning that keeps up with you. Scan a batch of barcodes and your edits stay put while you keep going. Choose where everything in the batch goes, and collapse the list when it gets long. Product names come through in English, and more scans match the right product. Also new: • Receipt scanning asks you to check items it isn't sure about, and keeps non-food lines out of your pantry. • More items land in the right category: broth, beans, jerky, nori and pudding mix no longer get filed as meat or produce. • Opening or closing a big zone in your pantry keeps your place in the list. • Reliability fixes throughout.
