Questions before
you join?

Here is what to expect from the app and early access.

Is The Herb Kitchen only for vegetarians?

It is designed for vegetarian, vegan and meat-free eating. Shape your meal choices around your dietary preferences, goals and the ingredients you have.

What does Premium add?

Premium includes Pro features plus Product Scan, Ask Herb AI Assistant, meal and pantry photo analysis, typed or supported voice descriptions for food and drinks, personalized meal plans and recipe ideas, vegetarian recipe conversion, ingredient swaps and recipe remix. Free includes limited recipe captures and imports; Pro includes unlimited captures and imports. Availability varies by plan and platform. You review proposed changes before saving.

Can AI make a recipe vegetarian?

Yes, with Premium. Capture or import a recipe, then review AI suggestions for replacing meat and seafood. Choose your swaps and review the updated ingredients, amounts and cooking steps before saving your vegetarian version. Available swaps and readable recipe data can vary.

What can Product Scan tell me?

Product Scan is a Premium feature. Scan a packaged product’s barcode or enter it to review available nutrition, ingredients and a product rating when enough data exists. Dietary checks include vegetarian, vegan, Jain and other supported preferences, with an ingredient reason for a conflict or uncertainty. Check the current package label: these checks are not certification, an allergy check or a cross-contact guarantee.

Can I add pantry ingredients from a photo?

Yes, with Premium. Take a photo or choose one from your library, review the detected ingredient names and estimated quantities, then add the selected items to Pantry. You can edit or leave out a suggestion before adding it.

What is Ask Herb AI Assistant?

Ask Herb AI Assistant is your Premium kitchen assistant. Ask about your nutrition, describe a meal, find recipes on the web or get help adapting a recipe. Uploaded meal photos stay with their conversation. For a drink, open Log drink and use the AI assisted option to type or use supported voice input. Review and confirm changes before they are saved.

How do recipe website searches work?

Ask Herb AI Assistant can search recipe websites and show matching results with their sources. Preview the chosen recipe, review ingredients and any swaps, then import it to your saved recipes. Publisher access and recipe readability can vary; nutrition may be estimated or unavailable.

When will the app be available?

We are preparing a US closed alpha on Android and iPhone together, followed by open beta and production. Join the list for an invitation when both platforms are ready. There is no confirmed launch date yet.

Will household features be in early access?

Not in the initial release. Shared household planning remains in development and will not be offered or billed until its account, privacy and synchronization checks are complete.

Does it replace advice from a dietitian?

No. The Herb Kitchen is a meal-planning and nutrition-awareness tool, not a medical service. For medical nutrition advice, work with a qualified clinician. AI suggestions and nutrition estimates can be imperfect, so check ingredients, amounts and package labels.

Will nutrition tracking make food feel more stressful?

The experience is designed around patterns and practical next steps. Your daily progress is not a grade. Use as much or as little tracking as feels helpful. It is not treatment for food anxiety or an eating disorder; if tracking increases distress, step away and seek support from a qualified professional.
