About Trova: Cook What You Have
Stop staring at the fridge. Trova is your whole kitchen in one app: import any recipe from anywhere, track your pantry, see what you can cook tonight, plan your week, and keep an eye on your nutrition. No shopping spirals. No food wasted. No "what's for dinner?" panic. WHAT CAN I COOK? Tell Trova what you have. It surfaces every recipe you can make right now, using up what's about to expire first. No searching, no scrolling. Just dinner, decided. IMPORT RECIPES FROM ANYWHERE Found a recipe on Instagram, TikTok, or any website? Share it to Trova and it's imported in seconds, ingredients, steps and all. Or snap a photo of a handwritten card and let Trova read it. YOUR RECIPE COLLECTION Save and organise every recipe in one place, import from the web, scan from a cookbook, or build your own. Filter by diet, cuisine, time and difficulty. Thousands of community recipes to discover, plus Surprise Me when you can't decide. SMART PANTRY Track what you have, what's running low, and what's about to expire. Photograph your shopping receipt or your fridge and Trova adds everything for you. Clear items in bulk when you restock. Pantry management that takes zero effort. GUIDED COOK MODE Cook step by step with the screen kept awake and timers that carry on in the background, so you're told when something is ready even with your phone locked. A mini player lets you browse the app mid cook without losing your place. PLAN YOUR WEEK One tap fills your week with real meals built around what you already own. The shopping list builds itself, with real quantities. TRACK YOUR NUTRITION Snap a photo of any plate and Trova logs the calories and macros. Scan a barcode for packaged foods. Set a daily target personalised to your body, then see how the whole week and month actually went, not just today. Sync it all to Apple Health.

What’s new
Version 1.2.5 · Updated September 14, 2026
Your pantry now opens straight to your ingredients, with everything you used to go looking for in one place. Expiring soon and running low are labels on the items themselves now, and you can filter the list down to either one. Removing a pantry item no longer freezes the app. Recipes and suggestions load faster throughout.
