Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about Kinji? We've got you. If something isn't answered here, reach out to us at support@kinji.ai.
Kinji is a pantry tracker and meal planning app designed for real households. You tell Kinji what's in your kitchen — by photo, scan, or search — and it suggests meals you can cook with what you already have. The goal is simple: less food waste, less daily stress, more time actually cooking.
Kinji is built for anyone who finds themselves standing at the fridge at 6pm wondering what to make. Whether you cook for one or feed a family, if you're tired of overbuying, forgetting ingredients, and repeating the same five meals — Kinji is for you.
Free with optional Kinji Plus subscription at $5.99/month.
Kinji is available for iOS.
Kinji is available in Canada and the US during early access.
You can add ingredients three ways: take a photo of your fridge or pantry and Kinji will recognize what it sees, scan a product barcode, or search by name and add items manually. Most people get their kitchen set up in under two minutes.
Kinji looks at what you have logged in your pantry, fridge, and freezer, then surfaces meal ideas that use those ingredients. Suggestions adapt to what you have — not to an ideal shopping list you'd need to build from scratch.
