Smart Cooking Math

No blunt deletions. Exact proportional deductions.

Other apps delete your entire 1kg pork belly row when you cook a single adobo meal. rekoMAInda does real unit math:

  • Unit Conversion & Partial Deductions: Using 500g from 1kg keeps 500g in your pantry row.
  • Automatic 3-Day Leftover Timers: Spawns a dedicated fresh leftovers entry so cooked food gets eaten.
  • Real Peso Savings Log: Computes the exact monetary value of food rescued from expiring.

Safety Guarantee

Allergy-safe in English and Tagalog.

Automated recommendations and weekly plans strictly omit flagged allergens. We never compromise on kitchen safety:

  • Hard-Filtering Standard: Algorithmically suggested meals never sneak allergens into your routine.
  • Native Tagalog Aliases: Flagging Shellfish automatically blocks hipon, alimango, sugpo, and shrimp paste (bagoong).
  • Prominent Warning Badges: Clear visual alerts if you manually browse dishes with potential allergens.
