A meal scanner uses your phone's camera to identify what's actually in your kitchen — then builds real recipes around it. No typing ingredient lists. No guessing what goes together. Fridgini is the free meal scanner app for iOS.
Download the Meal Scanner FreeMost recipe apps ask you to type what you have, one ingredient at a time. A meal scanner skips that entirely — it reads your kitchen directly from a photo.
Fridgini's meal scanner uses image recognition to identify individual items from a single photo of your fridge, pantry, or countertop. It builds an editable ingredient list automatically, then generates recipes built specifically around what it found — not a generic recipe database filtered by keyword.
The difference matters: a search box gives you recipes that mention your ingredients. A meal scanner gives you recipes built from them.
Typing ingredients into a recipe app is still work. Scanning them isn't.
