What it does

Most recipe apps work backwards — find a recipe, then buy everything on the list. Pantry to Plate starts with what's in your kitchen. Add your ingredients and get meals you can make right now, plus close matches that need one or two more things. Sort by breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. Save favorites, follow along in cook mode, and skip the grocery run. Built for busy weeknights, tight budgets, and using things up before they go bad. No ads. No account. Free on iOS and Android.

Pantry to Plate turns the ingredients already in your kitchen into simple dinner ideas — in just a few taps. No grocery run required. Type or paste what you have in your kitchen. The app recognizes proteins, starches, vegetables, and pantry staples. See exactly which recipes you can make right now, which need one more item, and how long each one takes. Step-by-step cooking instructions walk you through each recipe. Tap each step as you go and track yourfrom fieldvectorhq.com

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
