About IdeaGen.
IdeaGen is an independent software studio. We build a small number of tools, slowly, for people who would rather have one quiet product that earns its keep than ten that beg for attention.
Software should be useful, then quiet. The best tools fade into the background once you’ve set them up. That means no engagement loops, no streak counters, no dark-pattern up-sells, and no notifications dressed up as features. We measure success by whether RecipeGen saved you a trip to the store, not by how many minutes you spent on it.
We treat user data as a liability rather than an asset. We collect what the app needs to work, never sell it, and never use private content for model training or analytics.
Our first product is RecipeGen — a meal-planning app with a smart pantry, a grocery list that subtracts what you already have, and an AI extractor that reads a haul photo or receipt straight into your pantry.
We build natively for iOS first, with Android to follow from the same React Native codebase. Apps live on the App Store and Play Store, follow each platform’s human-interface guidelines, and don’t require accounts you don’t want to make — guest mode is a first-class option.
IdeaGen Technologies is registered in Malaysia as a sole proprietorship under business registration number JR0189683-T. The studio operates globally; RecipeGen is available wherever the App Store sells, with no regional restriction.
Contracts and disputes related to RecipeGen and any other IdeaGen product are governed by the laws of Malaysia. Where local consumer-protection laws (EU GDPR, California CCPA, Apple’s App Store EULA, etc.) grant additional rights, those rights apply on top — we don’t try to contract around them.
Direct email is the fastest channel. Write to james@ideagen.tech for product questions, bug reports, privacy or data-deletion requests, partnership enquiries, or anything else. We aim to reply within two business days.

“IdeaGen” pairs an old English word with a new one — a small generator for ideas, products, and the occasional well-stocked fridge. The brand uses a capital G mid-word; the domain (ideagen.tech) is all lowercase by convention.
