KitchenOwl

Your household's kitchen command center: shared grocery lists that sync in real-time across everyone's phones, a recipe book that imports from 500+ websites with one tap, a weekly meal planner that auto-generates shopping lists, and expense tracking that splits costs between roommates or family members. Native apps for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, and web provide partial offline support so the list works even in store dead zones. The recipe-scrapers library with wild mode fallback handles imports from virtually any cooking site, extracting ingredients, steps, and images automatically — then converts recipe ingredients directly to shopping items with a single tap. Smart suggestions learn from your patterns over time, ordering items by your typical store route and recommending frequently purchased products. OpenID Connect authentication supports Google, Apple, Authelia, and custom providers. LLM-powered ingredient parsing uses configurable AI models for intelligent recipe text extraction. A Home Assistant integration enables voice-controlled list management via smart speakers. The REST API with a published Python client library allows third-party automation. Multi-language support covers 30+ languages through Weblate community translations. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
