No account. No ads, analytics or tracking. Your recipes, plans, lists, pantry, cooks, photos and receipts stay on your phone.
Claude
Panko asks first. If you allow it, Panko sends the text an AI task needs to Anthropic's Claude, through Panko's server:
- Recipe text you paste, or that Panko reads from a link or a photo.
- Text read from a receipt photo.
- What you ask Generate for, with your servings, diet, leave-outs and palate.
- Ingredient names, to match them and estimate nutrition.
Photos never leave your phone. Panko reads the text in them on the device.
Panko's server keeps none of this text. It counts tokens per day for cost limits and uses your IP address to limit requests. Cloudflare, which runs the server, keeps standard request logs for a short time.
Anthropic processes the text under its commercial terms: it does not train models on it and keeps it only for a limited time.
Turn it off any time in Profile › Claude. Off, Panko uses the AI on your phone (Apple Intelligence or Gemini Nano) when your phone has it.
