- Cook with what’s already in your kitchen. Get recipe ideas matched to your ingredients.
- Build a weekly plan faster. Adjust it in seconds when things change.
- Buy only what’s missing. Your shopping list is built from selected recipes and your pantry.
Menuvivo is an advanced prototype. Photo recognition is currently a demo — we’re working on the full feature.

Frequently asked questions
What is Menuvivo?
Menuvivo is an advanced prototype app that helps with everyday cooking: it remembers what’s in your fridge and pantry, suggests recipes based on what you already have, and builds a shopping list from the missing ingredients. The result: fewer decisions, less food waste, and a calmer head.
How does it work?
Create a free account, add the products you have at home, and pick the recipes you want to cook — Menuvivo will automatically add missing ingredients for your selected meals to your shopping list. It’s still a prototype, so some parts are being refined, but you can already test the approach and send feedback.
Does photo recognition work yet?
Right now you can test the overall flow: take a photo and see what it’s like to build a product list “from a photo”. The recognition itself is still being built — results in the prototype are sample output meant to show how the feature will work. We’re working on a version that detects products for real.
How do you handle privacy?
We take privacy seriously. On this site, we don’t run analytics without your consent. And because the prototype is evolving quickly, please don’t enter or upload sensitive data yet — in parallel, we’re refining our policies and our approach to handling information.
Can I use it for free?
Yes. The prototype is free while we gather feedback and improve the product. If a paid version comes later, we’ll make sure the people who helped us test Menuvivo early get fair terms.
How can I give feedback?
Best way: use the in-app chat. Tell us what was unclear, what felt slow, and what you’re missing — we read every message and use it to set priorities.
