Recipejang 2.0: Fridge-to-Cart Recipes and Smart Shopping Lists

It's 6 p.m. You open the fridge, see half a bag of spinach, some eggs and an odd bit of cheese, and you still have to decide what to cook and what to pick up on the way home. Recipejang (레시피장) is an AI kitchen helper built for that moment. Version 2.0.0 is now live on Android, and it is a full overhaul of the app that used to be called "레시지-오늘 뭐 먹지?".

무엇이 달라졌나요

The release notes describe Recipejang 2.0 as a completely renewed kitchen helper. Here is what changed and how each change helps.

• From fridge to cart. You photograph your fridge or type in your ingredients, and the AI recognizes what you have. Recipes are then sorted by the percentage of ingredients you already own, so the dishes you are closest to cooking come first. The ingredients you are missing go into a smart shopping list. The benefit is that you stop wondering what to cook and what to buy as two separate problems. The app answers both from the same starting point.
• "What should I eat today?" by mood. Type a short line about your mood or situation and the app suggests meal ideas. The documentation also says you can photograph a food item and get a full recipe for it. This helps on the nights when you have no particular dish in mind, only a feeling about what you want.
• Diet and allergy profile. The recipe book now includes a diet and allergy profile. Set it up once so it can inform what the app suggests. The release notes mention the profile but not exactly how it filters results, so check the settings in the app to see how it applies to your recipes.
• Serving adjustment. You can scale a recipe to the number of people eating. This helps when you cook for one on weekdays and for a group on weekends.
• Hands-free cooking mode with multiple timers. Each step is shown in large text, the screen is kept from turning off, and you can run several step timers at once. With floury or wet hands, you don't have to keep unlocking your phone.
• 25 languages and a new design. The interface is available in 25 languages, listed at the end of this article, and the app has a refreshed look.

Here is how the main flow might go in practice. This is a suggested use, not a customer story, and I haven't tested the app myself. After work, you photograph the fridge. The AI lists the ingredients it recognized, and the recipe list reorders by how much you already have. You open a recipe with a high match, see which ingredients you own and which you need to buy, and send the missing items to your shopping list. The same list combines items from several recipes and groups them by store section, so a stop at the market is quicker.

이런 앱이에요

Recipejang is an AI kitchen helper that connects two everyday questions: "What can I make with what I have?" and "What do I still need to buy?" Many fridge-scanning apps stop at a list of recipes. According to the app's own materials, Recipejang carries on from the matched recipes to the missing ingredients, then to a shopping list organized by store section, and finally to purchase links.

The documentation names two kinds of readers it is meant for:

• People who want to cook at home and avoid throwing away what is already in the fridge.
• Students living alone and dual-income households who want to settle a shopping list quickly on the commute home.

It also fits anyone who asks "what's for dinner?" every day and would rather get a few concrete ideas than scroll through generic recipe lists.

Three things are documented as part of the app's basic setup: it has no ads, it does not require an account, and it supports 25 languages. The app is in the Food & Drink category. This release, 2.0.0, is the Android version.

주요 기능

Fridge-to-Cart (the central feature). You photograph your fridge or enter ingredients by hand. The AI recognizes the ingredients, and recipes are ranked by the percentage you already have. Only the missing ingredients move to the shopping list, which is organized by store section. The practical benefit is that the list holds what you actually need, not every ingredient in every recipe you looked at.

What should I eat today? Describe your mood or situation in one line and receive meal ideas. If you photograph a dish, the app builds a complete recipe for it. This is useful when you want inspiration rather than a ranked list.

Smart shopping list. Ingredients from several recipes are combined and arranged by store section. Purchase links are provided: Coupang for users in Korea and AliExpress for other regions, with an affiliate disclosure shown in the app. If you plan to buy through those links, read that disclosure first. The app doesn't require you to use them.

Hands-free cooking mode. Large step-by-step text, a screen that stays on, and multiple step timers. This is most helpful when a recipe has overlapping steps, such as something simmering while another item rests.

My recipe book. Save recipes, mark favorites and keep a record of what you've cooked. Adjust servings, and keep your diet and allergy profile in one place. Over time it becomes a personal collection of dishes you've actually made.

Languages, ads and accounts. There are 25 supported languages, no ads, and no account is needed to start.

Plans and limits

The free plan includes 3 AI requests per day. Recipejang Pro is the paid option, at $2.99 per month with a 7-day free trial, $19.99 per year, or $49.99 for a lifetime purchase. Prices can change or vary by region, so confirm the current price and trial terms on the store page before subscribing. Because the free plan counts AI requests, think about how you want to spend them. Scanning a fridge and asking for a mood-based idea probably both count, but the documentation doesn't spell this out, so check the in-app details.

Two more things to check before you install. This release is listed for Android, so look at the store page for other platforms. And as with any AI that recognizes ingredients from a photo, glance over the recognized list and correct anything that looks wrong before you rely on the recipe ranking. Typing ingredients in by hand is also supported.

지금 업데이트하세요

The update suits you if you often stand in front of the fridge unsure what to cook, if you prefer a short shopping list to a long one, or if you cook with allergies or dietary preferences in mind.

A few suggested ways to use it, all based on the documented features:

• Weeknight cooking with what's on hand. Photograph the fridge, open a recipe near the top of the match ranking, and check which ingredients you have and which you need.
• Planning two dishes. Add the missing ingredients from both recipes. The list combines them and groups them by store section, so you shop in one pass.
• Cooking with a timer or two. Open cooking mode, keep the screen on, and run separate timers for steps that overlap.
• When you have no idea what you want. Write a one-line mood in "What should I eat today?" and see what ideas come back.

If one of these sounds like your evening, update Recipejang on Android and try the Fridge-to-Cart flow once with your next fridge.
