Field notes
The homepage describes an input flow built around ordinary kitchen terms and supplier units, rather than requiring ingredients to be entered in a rigid database format. It also says the desktop sheet supports keyboard navigation and keeps the AI assistant in a sidebar beside the sheet. Menu syncing is separate from the free plan, while the browser version is presented as usable without installing the app.
