Share One Pantry

One pantry, many cooks

If you share a kitchen, you know how it goes: two gallons of milk because you both stopped at the store, the mystery of who finished the eggs, a grocery list living in a text thread nobody reads. Most food apps treat this as a one-person job.

Tuna is built for the household. Everyone you add sees the same pantry, the same grocery list and the same recipes, on their own phone, so "do we already have this?" takes one look.

Add your household

The household owner invites the other adults. Each invite carries a tap-to-join link, plus a code to type in if the link misbehaves. One subscription covers everyone in the household.

Not everyone at the table needs an account. Kids get profiles with names and birthdays, without a device or a login, so you can plan and log meals for them. An adult who hasn't joined yet can exist as a profile too, and claim it by invite later. See Set Up Everyone's Profiles.

What's shared

The pantry. Whoever shops, scans or cooks, everyone sees the result. Your partner uses half the cheese for dinner and your phone knows before you open the fridge.

The grocery list. It updates live. Add lemons from the couch and whoever's at the store sees them appear. They check off the milk and it's checked off for everyone. See Run One Grocery List Together.

The recipes. Anyone's imported recipe is everyone's dinner option.

The alerts. Everyone who turns on expiring food alerts gets the 7 AM alert on their own phone. Whoever's up first can decide what happens to the yogurt.

What's yours

Some things stay personal even when the kitchen is shared. Each member has their own meals on their own day, and their own goals if they want them. When someone cooks for the table, the cook records the dish once and each person's portion lands on their own day.

Nobody has to run it

The practical magic of a shared pantry is that nobody has to be the administrator:

• Whoever shops snaps the receipt, and the pantry restocks for everyone.
• Whoever cooks taps Cook, and the ingredients come out of the pantry for everyone.
• Whoever notices the empty olive oil adds it to the list, and it's on every phone.
• Whoever sees the morning alert first decides what happens to what's expiring.
