A plan that fits real life.

Start with one meal or shape the whole week. Chefie considers the constraints that actually matter and shows the draft before applying it.

Questions, answered.

Cooking should have fewer mysteries. Your subscription and privacy should too.

What can I do for free?

Free includes five AI recipe generations each month, unlimited saved recipes and pantry items, plus full manual meal planning.

Can I enter my own recipes without AI?

Yes. Write each cooking step in the rich editor and insert ingredient amounts exactly where they are used. Hello Chef totals those mentions into the ingredient list automatically, so your family recipes stay readable and scalable.

How are allergies and diets handled?

Chefie uses your saved allergies, dietary preferences, and temporary avoidances when creating recipes and plans. Always verify ingredients and labels for your own medical needs.

Does Hello Chef order my groceries?

Not today. Hello Chef creates organized, serving-scaled lists you can check off in the store; it does not claim retailer inventory, prices, or checkout.

How does hands-free cooking work?

The interactive guide keeps your place, supports step navigation, and helps manage multiple timers. Voice is optional—you can always use the on-screen controls.

What is public?

Community sharing is optional. Public chef profiles, recipes, and cookbooks support follows, hearts, comments, and attribution, with block and report controls available when needed.

Can I use cups or grams?

Yes. Choose automatic, US customary, or metric measurements in your profile, and temporarily switch a recipe when you need to. Quantities continue to scale with servings.
