Inventory tracking
Pantry, fridge, freezer. Everything in one place. Know what you have before you panic-buy more pasta.
Cooking apps have been boring for too long
Your kitchen app
shouldn't be this fun.
You have groceries, recipes, roommates, and absolutely no interest in playing detective at 6:12 PM. WhatDo keeps track of your kitchen, helps you plan the week, surfaces what to use first, and turns the ingredients you actually have into dinner that feels vaguely intentional.

Questions?
Answers we wish we had in college
Yes. Inventory, shopping lists, recipes, community browse, seasonal packs, and the core kitchen flows are free. Paid adds import, planning, shared kitchens, community saves, and roommate mode. Pro adds substitutions, nutrition, waste tracking, richer search, reviews, and the rest of the kitchen-nerd extras.
It is the shared-kitchen version of "let us all stay sane." You can track personal vs shared items, keep ownership clear, and then, if your household enjoys a little chaos, escalate into IronDo Chef or Dish Dispute.
Native on both. iPad gets real layouts, not a stretched phone app. Split view, big beautiful grids, the works. It actually looks better on iPad honestly.
The Mac app is real and currently waiting on Apple review. As soon as Apple clears it, your kitchen can follow you to the laptop when you are meal planning instead of pretending to work.
Coming soon. It is on the roadmap, it is wanted, and we are not pretending otherwise. Right now the good stuff is live on iPhone and iPad.
Everything syncs across your devices automatically. Add something on your phone, see it on your iPad. Works even when you go offline and catches up later.
Paid and Pro users can import from files and other apps. Your collection lives right next to WhatDo Chef suggestions and community recipes.
It looks at what is actually in your kitchen and helps build recipes you can cook right now. Not theoretical dinner for a parallel universe pantry. Free gets a limited daily taste. Pro gets the fancier live-build and substitution features.
We collect as little as possible and never sell your info. Your kitchen data stays on your devices and syncs through our secure backend. We genuinely do not want to know about your 3am cheese habits.
Free users can browse. Paid users can save recipes, publish their own, and build out profiles and collections. Pro unlocks reviews, Blogger Mode, and the extra creator-flavored bells and whistles.
English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, and Chinese (Simplified). The app follows your device language automatically. More languages coming.
