rekoMAInda

Filipino households lose real money every month to food that spoils before it gets used—and most pantry apps either don't understand local ingredients or lock the best features behind an expensive subscription. 

rekoMAInda is a smart kitchen companion that tracks exactly what is in your fridge and flags what is about to go bad before you forget about it. Logging groceries is effortless: snap a photo of a receipt, scan a barcode, or just describe what you bought in plain language.

From there, the app generates zero-waste meal plans ranked by what is actually expiring in your kitchen.

What makes it different:

• Local Intelligence: Built-in Filipino ingredient matching (itlog = egg, bawang = garlic) so local staples aren't treated as an afterthought.
• Bilingual Allergy Safety: Automated suggestions hard-filter allergens in both English and Tagalog (e.g., flagging hipon or alamang if you are allergic to Shellfish).
• Proportional Math: Cooking a recipe deducts the exact amount used (e.g., 500g from a 1kg bag) instead of bluntly deleting whole items, and auto-spawns a 3-day leftover freshness timer.
• 100% Free: No paywalls, no ads, and no $60/year "Pro" tier. Every feature is free to help families save money and stop food waste.
