Pantrio combines an ingredient scanner with a recipe library. Photograph food in a fridge, pantry, or on a counter to find matching meal ideas, or photograph a dish to ask the app to identify its ingredients. It can also save recipes from websites and social platforms, organize them into searchable collections, and provide a step-by-step cooking view. Version 2.4 adds weekly meal planning based on a budget. The US App Store describes a five-recipe trial and says Pro is needed to save more, but lists several weekly, monthly, and yearly price entries with repeated and varying amounts. There is also a product-name mismatch: the store title says Pantrio while much of its description and linked privacy and terms pages still call the app Chefio. Its privacy policy says submitted images are processed by third-party AI providers; the Apple label also lists usage and diagnostic data for tracking and other purposes.

The useful details.
What it does
- Scan pantry, fridge, or counter ingredients and receive recipe suggestions based on what is available.
- Photograph a prepared dish to get an AI-assisted ingredient breakdown.
- Save recipes from websites and social video platforms into a searchable library with custom collections.
- Follow recipes in a cooking mode that keeps the current step visible.

A good fit for
- Home cooks who want recipe ideas based on ingredients already on hand.
- People collecting recipes from websites or social platforms who also want budget-based weekly planning.
Worth knowing
- Ingredient recognition and dish analysis rely on AI and may miss ingredients or identify them incorrectly; check results yourself, especially for allergies.
- The US App Store title says Pantrio, but its description and linked terms/privacy pages still use Chefio, so product branding is inconsistent.
- The listing says the trial supports five saved recipes before Pro is required. The purchase panel shows multiple subscription prices and repeated product labels; verify the exact offer and renewal period in the app.
- The developer's privacy policy says submitted images go to third-party AI providers. The Apple privacy label also reports usage and diagnostic data for tracking; Apple's labels are developer-provided.
- Requires iOS 16.4 or later.
