Fair questions, straight answers.

KitchenOS is an AI meal planner for Indian families with real health needs — diabetes, blood pressure, allergies, a parent on multiple medications. It plans the week around what's in your kitchen and what your family actually eats, builds a shopping list for only what's missing, and gives the people who help you cook a respectful, limited view of their own.

KitchenOS is in private beta. We're letting in a small cohort of families across India each week — leave your email on the waitlist and we'll send a personal invite when your spot is ready.

KitchenOS is a mobile app. It isn't listed on Google Play or the App Store yet — mobile apps for both are coming. Join the waitlist and we'll email your invite and the download link the moment it's live.

You can have recipes read aloud in Hindi or English while you cook, and you can stock your pantry by saying what you bought out loud in Hindi or English — KitchenOS reads it and you confirm before anything is added.

It plans the week around who's eating, what they can and can't have, and the regional food your family actually likes — South Indian, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, and more — plus what's already in your pantry. Meal suggestions are AI-generated and worth a quick sanity-check before you cook; you're always in control of the final menu.

No. Snap a photo of the shelf or fridge, say what you bought out loud, or scan a barcode — KitchenOS reads it and you confirm before anything is added. The week's plan minus your pantry becomes one tidy shopping list, so you only buy what's missing.

Swap it. Don't love a meal? Swap it and the plan keeps the week balanced. Suggestions are a starting point — you're always in control of the final menu.

Helpers sign in with their own PIN to a separate, limited view: today's menu, the recipe, and the quantities, in plain language. Nothing personal about your family — health needs and personal details stay private. More on the features page.

Yes. The plan recognises upcoming festivals and fasting days, so the week's menu fits the occasion instead of fighting it. And if you live away from India, KitchenOS helps you keep cooking your home cuisine, adapting to the ingredients you can actually find where you live.

Yes — each household member has their own profile with health conditions like diabetes or blood pressure, allergies, and dietary preferences, and the week's plan works around all of them. One honest caveat from our Terms: allergen tagging is a help, not a guarantee. If you have a known allergy, you remain responsible for reading labels and confirming ingredient safety.

No. Drug-food interaction alerts come from a deterministic, curated interaction ruleset — the same food rule applied the same way every time, never invented by an AI model. They're advisory, built to help you ask better questions, and they may not be exhaustive. They are not a substitute for your doctor or pharmacist — KitchenOS is a planning tool, not a medical service. Always consult your treating doctor before changing your diet or medication. The full safety note is in our Terms.

Some AI features call third-party model providers to generate meal suggestions. We send only a minimised, de-identified prompt — household role, age band, dietary preferences, and pantry items — and never your medication names or free-text health notes; those stay on our own infrastructure. By default your data is not used to train any AI model. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy.

KitchenOS is free while we're in private beta. When paid plans arrive after launch, the indicative pricing is Family at ₹299/month and Family Plus at ₹499/month — final plans, prices, and any introductory offers are confirmed before we ever ask you to pay. Full payment terms are in our Terms.

Yes. Paid subscriptions auto-renew, and you can cancel any time from inside the app at Settings → Subscription. If you cancel mid-cycle, we refund the unused, pro-rated portion of the current billing period to your original payment method within 7 working days.

Your account, household, health, and meal data are stored and processed in Google Cloud's Mumbai region (asia-south1). The one exception is the AI meal-suggestion step described above — a minimised, de-identified prompt sent to AI providers, transient and not stored at rest abroad. We don't sell data and we don't run ads. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy.

Delete your account any time from Settings → Account → Delete account. There's a 30-day grace period — you can change your mind by signing back in — after which everything is irreversibly purged. You can also export a machine-readable copy of your data first (Settings → Privacy → Export my data), or withdraw consent for a specific feature without deleting your whole account.
