Moving from another kitchen app.
Whether your app is closing or just not working for you, here is how to set up Hestily without typing everything again.
How do I move my pantry to a new app?
Most pantry and meal planner apps cannot send your list to another app, so the quickest way is to rebuild it. In Hestily, take a photo of each shelf, the fridge and the freezer. Hestily lists what it sees and gives every item a date. Check the list, then add anything it missed by hand.
Setting up in an evening.
Rebuild your list from photos
Photograph one shelf or door at a time. Hestily lists the items it finds and gives fresh food an estimated date you can change. The free plan has one photo scan a week and unlimited items added by hand. Essential has one scan a day, and Plus and Elite have unlimited scans.
Keep a copy of your old list
If your current app can export or share your list, save a copy before it closes. You can add anything the photos missed by hand, on every plan.
Bring your own recipes
On Plus and Elite you can add a family recipe from a photo of a recipe card and keep it with your recipes. Hestily also suggests recipes from what you have, with the food that needs using first at the top.
Bring the household
Plus lets up to 3 people share one plan. Elite covers up to 6, with a shared pantry, a shared shopping list and a family meal calendar.
Before your old app closes
A few minutes now saves typing later:
- Export or share your pantry list, if the app allows it
- Save the recipes you want to keep
- Write down the dates on anything opened or frozen
- Tell the people you share with where you are moving
Questions people ask.
Can I import my list from another app?
Not directly. Pantry apps do not share a common file format, so Hestily rebuilds your list from photos instead. Check the list after each scan and add anything else by hand.
My meal planner app is closing. Can Hestily replace it?
For many households, yes. Hestily suggests meals from what you have, and Elite adds a family meal calendar and a shared shopping list. It is built around your pantry, so it works best once your food is in.
Is Hestily free?
Yes. The free plan includes one photo scan a week, unlimited items added by hand, expiry reminders and recipes from what you have. See plans
