Atlas Pantry
An offline recipe and stock planner for shared kitchens.
Problem
Small shared kitchens often keep recipes, stock counts, and shopping lists in different places. That makes duplicate purchases common and leaves staples buried at the back of the cupboard.
Approach
Atlas Pantry uses a local-first catalogue that links each recipe to required ingredients, current stock, and a simple shopping queue. It works offline first, then syncs when a connection is available.1
Result
The prototype makes stock gaps visible before a cooking session starts. It also gives coordinators a quick way to see which recipes are realistic with the ingredients already on hand.
The first prototype stored kitchen records locally so it could still be used in a basement kitchen with unreliable wireless coverage. ↩︎
