Cleared Table
The food app for households that can't afford food mistakes
Allergies, celiac and elimination protocols turn every dinner into a background check. Cleared Table does the checking first: everything you see in the app has already been checked against your household's restrictions, so browsing feels like abundance instead of vigilance.
- Built by a gluten-free household in Wilmington, NC
- Free tier, no card

The home screen: tonight's dinner, how much of it is already in the pantry, and who has been around the table.
How it works
Three steps, then dinner stops being a background check
- 1
Tell it your restrictions
Set your table's allergies, intolerances and things to avoid, tiered by how serious they are. Allergy-tier restrictions are locked: nothing in the app can override them.
- 2
Tell it what's in the kitchen
Keep a simple pantry list. The app matches it against every cleared recipe and ranks dinners by how much you already have in the house.
- 3
Cook what's cleared tonight
Pick tonight's dinner, generate the whole week in one tap, or let the table vote. Everything you can see has already been checked against your household's restrictions. The label is always the final word.
Who it's for
Built for the kitchens where the ingredient list matters most
Celiac and gluten-free households
Wheat, barley and rye are checked at the ingredient level, and cross-contact gets its own warning instead of hiding inside the ingredient list.
Food allergies
Peanut, tree nut, shellfish, dairy, egg, soy, sesame, fish and wheat, each set for your table at the allergy tier that can never be overridden.
Autoimmune and elimination protocols
AIP and nightshade-free kitchens. Set the protocol once and the recipe generator only works from ingredients cleared for it.
Mixed tables
One person restricted, everyone eats the same dinner. The household's restrictions combine, so one recipe list works for the whole table.
Every screen
The whole table, one screen at a time
Every phone below is the real app, filled in for a sample household with peanut and dairy restrictions. Lite covers the allergen engine, the recipe library, the pantry and a week you build by hand. Full opens the rest.
Tonight
Open the app and dinner is already answered
The home screen is one question, settled: what are we cooking tonight, and how much of it is already in the house? Tonight shows the planned dinner, a pantry match meter, and what everyone around the table has been up to.
- A pantry match meter shows how many of tonight's ingredients you already have, one segment per ingredient.
- What can I make tonight: every cleared dinner you could cook right now, ranked by how much of it is already in the pantry.
- Mark it cooked with one tap and the household's cooking streak ticks up.

Recipes and the allergen engine
Cleared, or invisible
A deny-by-default engine checks every ingredient of every recipe against your household's restrictions before anything reaches the screen. Anything it cannot identify is treated as not cleared. Every recipe is re-checked for each household, so a dish another table saved is checked fresh against yours.
- A recipe that fails the check never shows up. There is no red list to scroll past, just the cleared ring on everything you see.
- Allergy-tier restrictions can never be overridden: not by a settings toggle, not by a browse filter, not by a recipe note.
- Cross-contact is tracked separately and shown as its own warning, never folded into the ingredient check.

Cook Up
New dinners, built from what is already cleared
Describe the dinner you want and the generator writes an original recipe using only ingredients cleared for your table. Then the same engine that checks every other recipe checks this one, before you are allowed to save it.
- Built only from cleared ingredients, then checked again before you can save. If it fails, you never see it.
- Simple style caps the ingredient count for weeknights, and Quick and easy keeps it to about half an hour.
- From my pantry cooks with what is already in the house: pantry only, or pantry plus up to three other cleared ingredients. Salt, pepper and water are always assumed. Desserts too: baked, no bake or fruit based, written for the flours the table can have.
- One new dish a month on Lite. Sixty a month on Full.

Plan and Vote
One cleared dinner a night, chosen together
Generate my week fills Sunday to Saturday from your cleared list in one tap, or you build the week by hand. The vote screen lets everyone at the table weigh in when nothing is planned yet. Streaks and the Table-tested seal keep track of what actually worked.
- Generate my week fills every open night, never repeats a primary protein on consecutive days, and can start the week over whenever you like.
- Household voting: one vote each from the cleared list, and the leader can be locked straight onto tonight's plan.
- A cooking streak counts the dinners you actually made, and recipes that survived your real table earn the Table-tested seal.

Plan
One cleared dinner a night, Sunday to Saturday, and the whole week's missing ingredients go to Groceries in one tap.
Groceries and Shop
A list in the order you walk the store
Send the week's missing ingredients to Groceries in one tap. The list groups itself by aisle, with product picks, shelf prices and a running estimated total, so the trip is a straight line instead of a scavenger hunt.
- Real Harris Teeter aisle order and prices, with an estimated total that updates as you shop. Store data comes from Kroger; Cleared Table is not affiliated with Kroger or Harris Teeter.
- Every item carries how much the week needs, added up across recipes: two dinners that both call for garlic show one line, six cloves.
- Checked items move to the cart, so the list above you is only what is still on the shelf. Every store works as a checklist today.

The Commons and Learn
Original recipes from other cleared tables
Recipes cooked up at one table are shared across the Commons with attribution, and each one is re-checked against your restrictions before it appears in your feed. Learn is the hub for product finds and eating out, city by city.
- Original recipes from Full tables are shared across the Commons with attribution to the household that made them.
- Share any cleared recipe as a link with a story card for the share sheet. The page shows the dish and what it is free of, never your household. Stop sharing and the link closes.
- Recipes clipped from other websites stay private to your household, with a link back to their source.
- A Learn hub with accredited contributors is coming: product finds and restaurant recommendations by city.

Questions
The things people ask before they sign in
Anything else, the Terms spell out exactly what the app does and does not promise. Read the Terms.
Is this medical advice?
No. Cleared Table is an organizing tool for food decisions your household has already made with its care team. It does not diagnose, treat or advise, and it can make mistakes. Ingredient labels are always the final word.
Can it catch cross-contact?
Only what an ingredient list says. The allergen engine checks the ingredients on each recipe and flags ones that commonly carry cross-contact, but it cannot see cross-contact or ingredients a label does not disclose. Read every label, every time.
How does it decide something is cleared?
Every ingredient of every recipe is checked against each restriction your household has set. Anything the engine cannot identify is treated as not cleared, and anything that fails never appears. Cross-contact is tracked separately and shown as its own warning.
Where do the recipes come from?
Three places: original recipes your table cooks up with AI, the Commons, and recipes you clip from other websites. Every dish cooked up with AI, from every table joins the Commons with attribution the moment it is made, so the pool grows with everyone who cooks here. Clipped recipes stay private to your household and keep a link back to their source.
Does it work with my store?
Aisle order and shelf prices come from Harris Teeter today, with the rest of the Kroger family of stores next as the store picker lands. Every store works as a checklist: the list still groups itself, and checked items still move to the cart.
Can I add my family?
Yes. A household admin creates invite codes in Settings and shares one with each person. Everyone signs in with Google or Apple, joins the same table, and sees the same cleared list. Lite seats two people and Full seats eight.
Can I share a recipe with someone outside my table?
Yes. Any cleared recipe can be shared as a link, with a story card for the share sheet. The page shows the dish, its ingredients and what it is free of, and nothing about your household. Stop sharing at any time and the link closes.
What does Full cost?
Full is a subscription in the Cleared Table iPhone app: 7 days free, then $7.99 a month or $69.99 a year, billed by Apple and cancelled any time in your Apple account. Until the app reaches the App Store, Full is by invitation from Settings.
Is it a real app?
Yes. The Cleared Table app for iPhone is in testing now and coming to the App Store. The website is also an installable web app: add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen from its own icon, signed in and ready. Here is how to put it on your phone.
How do I get help?
Email info@clearedtable.com. A question, a verdict that looks wrong, something broken: we read every message, and a wrong verdict gets looked at first.
Lite is free
Set your table once. Every dinner after that is already checked.
Sign in with Google or Apple, set your household's restrictions, and the recipe library, pantry matcher and week planner are yours. Full opens with a 7 day free trial in the iPhone app, and by invitation until the app reaches the App Store.
