For iPhone, in the UK and Switzerland
Dinner from what is already in your kitchen.
Heilsa keeps one pantry for the whole household, shows what needs using first, and suggests dinners that use it. Less in the bin, less on the receipt, and better dinners on the table.
Heilsa comes to the App Store in November. Join now, through TestFlight, and your household keeps it free through 2027.

Heilsa16:02Why Heilsa
Waste less, spend less, eat well.
Most food that gets thrown away was bought with good intentions and forgotten at the back of the fridge. Heilsa remembers it for you, and turns it into dinner.
Waste less
Every food has a clock, from USDA shelf-life data and where it is kept. What needs using rises to the top of the pantry and leads the dinner suggestions.
Spend less
The shopping list is written from the dinners you plan, minus what is already at home. You buy what the week needs, not a second jar of what is in the cupboard.
Eat well
The plates you cook add up on the You tab: food groups beside the Eatwell Guide, nutrition per plate, and the goals you chose, measured each week.
How it works
The pantry keeps itself, from the shop to the plate.
Nobody in a busy house keeps an inventory by hand, so Heilsa does not ask you to. It keeps the pantry from the two things you already do: buying food and cooking it.

Bought it? Tick it off
A ticked shopping line puts the food in the pantry and starts its clock.

Recipes
Every recipe you cook, in one place.

A hundred curated recipes come with it, each marked Can make now, Almost there or Missing key from what is at home, with nutrition and allergens per serving. A recipe with no picture gets one drawn.
How recipe import works
You
See how you eat, without logging a thing.
When a dinner is marked cooked, the plates are added up from the recipe. The You tab shows the weeks as they went, each day plate by plate, and its food groups beside the Eatwell Guide.
- Choose what you are eating for, from more plants to more energy, and see it measured every week.
- Your goals lean the dinner suggestions, so the plan helps you get there.
- Apple Health gets your plates; Heilsa reads your weight. Only you see these.

Household
One kitchen, on every phone.
Shared as it happens
Tick something off in the shop and it is on the wall at home before you are back. Everyone sees one kitchen, on their own phone.
Works with no signal
The kitchen lives on the phone, so the pantry, the plan and the list all work in a basement supermarket. Changes go when there is signal.
Room at the table
Count kids and guests who do not have the app, and keep their allergies too. Every dinner is scaled to the plates and cooked around them.
Who it is for
Written for households that cook.
- Solo cooksCooking for one against recipes and packs built for four. Heilsa tracks what is home, what a meal actually made, and what is still worth eating.
- CouplesTwo people shopping independently buy the same passata twice. One pantry you can both see, and a list with no owner and no handover step.
- FamiliesFood disappears faster than anyone tracks by memory. Everyone adds to one list from their own phone, and dinner starts from what is actually home.
Questions
Plain answers.
- What is Heilsa?
- An iPhone app for the kitchen a household shares. It keeps one pantry everyone can see, shows what needs using first, suggests dinners that use it, and writes the shopping list from the plan.
- Do I have to keep the pantry up to date by hand?
- Mostly not. Food you tick off the shopping list goes into the pantry, and when a dinner is cooked Heilsa asks what it used up. How long each food keeps is worked out for you, so nobody types a date.
- Is this a nutrition or calorie tracker?
- Not one you fill in. The You tab adds up the dinners you cook at home — food groups beside the Eatwell Guide, nutrition per plate, and the goals you chose — and can send them to Apple Health. It shows figures; it does not give dietary or medical advice.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. Heilsa is free, and households that join before its paid plan arrives on 7 December 2026 keep it free through 2027. Nobody is charged unless someone in the household chooses the plan in the App Store.
