Your personal chef
and pantry assistant
Arni is your personal assistant for everything food. It can do anything you can do in the app — manage your pantry, plan your meals, build your grocery list — just by asking.
Coming soon to the
App Store
iOS launch coming soon.
Everything your food life needs
One app for your pantry, meals, nutrition, and grocery list.
Check local prices
Before you shop, Arni checks real community prices at the stores near you -- then sorts your list by aisle so you get in and out fast with the best deal.
Your pantry, on autopilot
Scan a receipt and your pantry updates automatically — every item, every quantity. Arni creates grocery lists, tracks what's running low, and remembers every household member's preferences.
Tired of meal planning? Ask Arni.
Tell Arni to plan the week and it's done — built around your pantry, your household, and everyone's preferences. Hungry and not sure what you have? Just ask.
Cook with Arni
Want a recipe for what's in your pantry? Arni builds one. Hands dirty mid-cook? Use voice commands — Arni reads you the next step without you touching your phone.

Set allergies, intolerances, dietary goals, and food preferences for every member of your household. Arni factors all of it in automatically -- every suggestion, every meal plan, every recipe is safe for everyone at the table.

Your recipe book,
the way it should work
Ask Arni to find one
Tell Arni what you're in the mood for or what's in your pantry. It finds recipes that match and pulls them straight into your collection.
Save from any site
Found something on your favorite food blog? Paste the URL and Arni imports the recipe instantly -- ingredients, steps, and all.
Share with your household and friends
Recipes live in your household, not just on your phone. Everyone in the family can see them, cook from them, and add them to the meal plan -- and you can share favorites with friends too.
Scan your receipt.
Arni does the rest.
Point your camera at a grocery receipt and Arni instantly updates your pantry — every item, every quantity, no typing. Your pantry stays accurate without any effort.
As a byproduct, those prices are anonymously shared with your local Arni community. So when you optimize your grocery list, you get the most up-to-date pricing at the stores in your neighborhood — from people who shopped there this week.
- Pantry updates automatically — no manual entry
- Real-time local prices, not national averages
- Sorted by aisle so you move through the store in one pass

Before you head out, tap Optimize. Arni compares prices for every item on your list across your local stores using real community pricing -- then tells you exactly where to shop and which aisle to find each item.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Arni.
How do I set up my pantry for the first time?
Arni Pantry is designed to cut out the tedious work. The fastest way to add items is to take a picture and ask Arni to update your pantry for you — turning labels toward the camera helps with accuracy. Arni also updates your pantry automatically from receipts, from meals you log, and whenever you ask it directly.
How does community price sharing work, and why does it matter?
Believe it or not, most grocery stores don't share pricing with third-party tools, so it's extremely hard to compare real prices. When you give Arni a receipt to update your pantry, we also take the item prices and the store and add them to an anonymized database that helps you and your neighbors save money at your local stores. It's completely anonymous — even the Arni team can't see who contributed any price.
Can Arni suggest meals based on what I have?
Yes! Just ask Arni to suggest meals based on your pantry and saved recipes, or ask it to find new recipes built around the food you already have.
Can I find, create, and share my own recipes?
Absolutely. Tap the share button wherever you find a recipe and Arni will show up as an option. You can also tap share inside the app to send a recipe directly to friends.
What about dietary goals, allergies, and likes/dislikes?
You can tell Arni how to help with all of these by tapping "Arni" at the top of the screen and opening Dietary Notes and Allergies. You can also add favorite foods here and tell Arni when to use them. Each family member can have their own.
How does the list optimizer work?
The list optimizer uses community price sharing for the stores you've selected for your trip. When pricing is available, Arni uses it first; when it isn't, Arni estimates which store is cheaper for each item from its training data. Everything is then organized by store aisle for more convenient shopping.
How many shopping lists can I have?
As many as you like. A lot of people keep four separate lists they rotate through each month to keep meals varied. Arni can also whip up a shopping list from your meal plans and missing ingredients — and you can share that list outside the app, which is super handy for get-togethers and holidays like the 4th of July. America!
Can Arni plan my meals?
Of course! Arni checks your dietary notes first, then plans accordingly. If you have family members added, it accounts for portion sizes and servings too. You can also ask Arni to update any individual meal you don't like in the plan.
Can Arni make me a better cook?
Absolutely not — and if you have to ask, you might be a lost cause. 😄 Arni can cook with you, though. Use the Cook with Arni tool inside any recipe and Arni keeps your screen awake and reads the instructions out loud. When you're ready for the next step, just say "Arni" and then your command.
How do I invite my neighbors and friends?
Open the profile menu (tap your name at the top) and choose Refer a Friend, then share your personal invite. When someone subscribes using it, you both earn a free month — and you can track what you've earned any time under Referral Credits.
