For immediate release
EasyPantry for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo turns what’s in your kitchen into recipes, meal prep and a meal plan
Designed to follow Apple’s design guidelines, the app is an option for home cooks as the meal planning app Mealime shuts down on October 21, 2026
LAS VEGAS — October 20, 2026 — Independent developer Dean Cornejo today announced EasyPantry, a free app for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo that keeps track of the food in the pantry, fridge and freezer, finds recipes to make with what is already there and turns them into meal prep and a meal plan for the week. The app is designed to follow Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines. The news comes one day before the meal planning app Mealime shuts down on October 21, 2026, according to a notice on Mealime’s website.
EasyPantry sorts food by where it is kept and shows what is In Stock, Low Stock or Out of Stock. Anything low or out goes on the Need to Buy list, and reminders go out before food expires or needs to thaw. Recipes can be saved from social media or any recipe website (with Pro, their ingredients are read in and matched to the kitchen), and each one shows what is on hand and what is still needed. Ready to Make lists what can be cooked right now.
With EasyPantry Pro, Craft Recipe uses AI to suggest new recipes from the ingredients on hand, with estimated calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving. Set Macros aims the recipes at Balanced, High Protein or Low Carb targets, or a custom split, with a calorie limit per serving. Scan Groceries adds food from a receipt or a photo of the groceries.
Meal Prep keeps track of each batch a user cooks, where it is stored and how many meals are left. Tapping Eat lowers the count and adds that meal’s calories and macros to the day. On the Meal Plan, users plan breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, put their meal preps on the days they will eat them and check meals off as they go. Start Cooking shows a recipe one large step at a time, with an ingredient checklist.
EasyPantry works with Apple Health (Pro), saving the meals a user eats with their calories and macros. It writes to Health and never reads from it. The app also has five Home Screen widgets (Pro), Siri and Shortcuts actions, iCloud sync (Pro) and Dark Mode. On an open iPhone Duo, the kitchen sidebar sits beside the ingredient list, and a recipe’s photo sits on one side with the recipe on the other.
Cornejo, who designs, builds and supports the app himself, said: "I wanted an ingredient and meal prep tracker that was actually easy to use, so I asked myself what Apple would build, and EasyPantry is my answer. It’s designed to feel like Apple’s own apps, so there’s nothing to learn and everything makes sense right away. Meal prepping helped me lose 45 pounds, and EasyPantry made that journey so much easier."
