Frequently asked questions

Short answers, limited to what the app actually does today.

7.04.1

No

Do I have to photograph everything I own?

No. Photograph what you plan around. Things you always have and never run out of do not need to be tracked.

7.04.2

Yes

Does iWhisk work if I only have a few things in my kitchen?

Yes. One shelf is enough to start.

7.04.3

What happens if the photo gets something wrong?

You correct it before saving. Nothing enters your Kitchen until you confirm it.

7.04.4

What happens if a kitchen scan doesn't finish?

On rare occasions a scan can time out before it finishes processing, whatever size the photo. Wait a moment and try again. If it keeps happening, email support@iwhisk.io so we can look into it.

7.04.5

Yes

Are my recipes private?

Yes. They stay private unless you deliberately create a read-only link or make one public, and a link can be revoked at any time.

7.04.6

Yes

Can I use iWhisk on my computer?

Yes. iWhisk runs in any modern web browser. The layout adapts, and wider screens get a sidebar.

7.04.7

In part

Does iWhisk handle allergies?

It applies your dietary boundaries to recipes, suggestions and your grocery list. It cannot inspect your food.

Safety

For a severe allergy, always verify packaging and preparation yourself.

7.04.8

Yes

Can I start over without losing my account?

Yes. Account, then Reset My Food Activity, and choose which categories to clear.

7.04.9

No

Does tossing food hurt my progress?

No. It never removes progress. It makes your waste goals accurate.

7.04.10

Where do I get help?
