Since 2007 — now a modern app

What's for dinner?
Ask your pantry.

From whatever you have on hand: fresh recipes and a full weekly plan — by AI or from your favourite recipes. You waste less, save on shopping and keep your emergency supply in view.

No credit card required. Demo without registration.

2007Founded

The idea is older than most of our competitors.

Back in 2007 we built "VR-DB", to our knowledge the first German software that combined pantry tracking and recipes. Today we continue the idea as a modern app — with everything planned back then, plus emergency prep, multiple languages, offline mode and a phone app.

Sound familiar?

Expired & thrown away

Something rots at the back of the cupboard that should have been used long ago. Money in the bin.

Bought twice

Two open jars of mustard, because nobody knew one was already there.

Nobody has the overview

In a shared household nobody quite knows what is actually there and what is missing.

End the endless “what's for dinner?” question

Three ways to dinner — all from the stock you actually have.

AI recipes from your stock

Tell it what you're in the mood for — the AI builds a recipe from what's actually there. Nothing missing, nothing expires.

Pro · early access

AI weekly plan, never the same twice

A varied plan for the whole week at the push of a button. It never gets boring — and the shopping list writes itself.

Your favourite recipes, planned

Prefer the tried and true? Pick your favourites and turn them into the weekly plan — missing ingredients go straight to the list.

And when you cook, Vorratsmanager deducts the ingredients automatically — opened and soon-to-expire first. The circle closes: fewer leftovers, full overview.

Everything for your stock

From daily groceries all the way to comprehensive emergency preparedness — one system.

Offline first

Works even when nothing else does.

Emergency preparedness needs reliability: your stock is stored on every device and readable without internet — in the basement, in a dead zone, during a blackout. With the Prepper plan you can even keep booking offline; syncing happens automatically.

Web & mobile app

One data base — in the browser at home, in the native app for iOS and Android on the go.

Offline mode

Read without internet on all devices. On the Prepper plan also record offline — syncs automatically.

Inventory with expiry status

All stock with locations, QR boxes and expiry warnings — nothing spoils unnoticed. Includes stock-count mode and barcode scanning.
