FAQ
Questions, answered
What is Dinner Shelf?
Two apps in one. A recipe saver that turns videos, links and screenshots into clean recipes with calories, and an AI food log that counts anything you eat from a photo or a short description. Both feed the same daily calorie and macro goal, on iPhone and Android.
Which apps and sites can I save recipes from?
TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook and almost any recipe website. You can also add screenshots, scan a page from a cookbook or type a recipe in yourself.
How do I save a recipe from TikTok or Instagram?
Open the post, tap Share and choose Dinner Shelf. A small sheet reads the recipe, you pick a collection, and it is saved. You can also copy the link and paste it in the app.
What if the recipe is only spoken in the video?
We read the caption, the spoken audio and the text on screen, and check the creator’s website when the caption points there. Then we put the recipe together. Before saving you see a review screen, so you can fix anything that was unclear.
Can I import screenshots or cookbook pages?
Yes. Add up to 6 screenshots and we combine them into one recipe, or scan a printed page with your camera. Typing a recipe in is always free and never counts toward your AI uses.
How does the week planner work?
Choose a day and a meal, then pick from your saved recipes, or auto-fill free days from a collection. Servings scale the ingredients, and one tap turns the week into a grocery list.
Do I have to cook from recipes to track calories?
No. Recipes are optional. Eat out, grab a snack or have dinner at a friend’s, then snap a photo or type what you ate. AI lists the items with calories and macros, and you add them to the right meal.
How does AI food logging work?
Take a photo of your plate or describe it in your own words, like 2 eggs, toast and a latte. AI recognises each item and estimates the portion. Tap any item to adjust it, then add the meal to your day.
How accurate are the calories and macros?
For recipes they are calculated from the ingredients and amounts. For photos and descriptions they are AI estimates you can correct item by item. Both are meant for everyday tracking, not medical advice.
Can I share my grocery list or collections?
Yes. Share a grocery list with whoever does the shopping, or send a recipe or a whole collection as a link.
What is included in the free plan?
Everything that doesn’t use AI: unlimited saved recipes, collections, cook mode, the week planner with calorie tracking, grocery lists and Discover. Plus 10 AI uses a month: each recipe import, meal logged from a photo or text, or calorie count for your own recipe uses one. Typing things in yourself never does. Premium makes AI unlimited.
Is Dinner Shelf on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Get it on the App Store or Google Play. Sign in with the same account and your recipes, collections and meal plans sync between your devices.
Are there iPhone widgets?
Yes. Add Dinner Shelf to your Home Screen or Lock Screen to see tonight’s dinner, calories left, today's meals, water and your grocery list. On iOS 17 and later you can log a glass of water, a quick snack or tick groceries right from the widget.
How do I cancel my free trial?
Right in the app: open Profile and tap Cancel free trial. Cancel before the 7 days end and you will not be charged. You keep the free plan and everything you saved.
Do creators get credit for their recipes?
Always. Every saved recipe keeps the creator’s handle and a link to the original post. Creators can ask us to fix a credit or remove a recipe at any time.
