What the app does today
- Kitchen and pantry. Film your shelves, fridge, freezer and counters on iPhone, or add photos and receipts. Will Do Chef lists what it reads, stores packaged items in grams (mL for liquids) with their printed size and date, and saves nothing until you confirm the review. You can edit stock, equipment, dietary rules, preferences and usual cooking hours directly in Kitchen.
- Recipes. Import a recipe from a link or pasted text, write one yourself, or turn a chat idea into a recipe to review. Each step shows the quantities it uses and how components come together. You can resize a recipe, copy its text, print or export a PDF, or download it for offline cooking.
- Plan a meal. Choose saved recipes, guest count, serving time and when you are available. Will Do Chef builds a day-by-day prep and cooking schedule around your equipment and hours, with combined prep and shopping lists once you accept the plan.
- Cook. Follow a saved recipe or accepted meal plan step by step, check off prep and steps, run timers, and finish a cook to record how it went. Downloaded recipes and plans work offline on the device cooking them.
- The sous chef. Reachable from Home, Recipes, Kitchen, a recipe or a cook. Ask what to make from what is on hand and what needs using up, adapt a recipe to your kitchen, or ask a question mid-cook.
Common questions
How do I get in?
By invitation. Enter your invited email address, then the six-digit code sent to it. New members start with an empty kitchen. There is no public sign-up yet.
Which devices work?
iPhone and the web. Android is planned for later.
How do I put my kitchen in?
Film your shelves, fridge and counters on iPhone, or add photos and receipts. Will Do Chef lists what it sees and you correct the list before anything is saved. The video is deleted as soon as the phone has read it, and a batch nobody confirms is removed with its frames 7 days after filming.
What leaves my phone?
Under Local only, nothing is sent to a cloud AI service. Under Allow cloud, chosen frames, receipt images, the text of requests and optional narration text go through Animachord to Anthropic, or to OpenAI when Anthropic is down. Audio never leaves the phone. The privacy page has the full list.
Why is it asking for the microphone?
Only for optional narration while filming. Speech becomes text on the phone and the sound is never saved or sent.
What does it cost?
The beta is free by invitation. Premium is planned for the first release and is not on sale yet.
I hit a daily limit.
Each kitchen has a daily allowance for cloud chat replies, recipe builds, plan builds and photo reads during the beta. The allowance resets at midnight UTC. Saved recipes, downloaded cooking and manual entry keep working.
An item came out wrong after filming.
Correct it in the review before confirming, or edit the item in Kitchen afterwards. If "Improve Will Do Chef's testing" is on, the correction and its frames are kept as a test case, and turning the switch off removes them.
How do I export or delete my data?
