What it is
An AI meal planner focused on reducing food waste: it generates recipes from ingredients you already have, with a smart pantry-management feature that tracks what's on hand. A weekly planner offers a calendar view, and the AI can customize recipes on request ("make it spicier"), scale servings, suggest substitutions, and extract recipes from URLs or photos, alongside global cuisine exploration. Free with in-app purchases: Monthly $2.99, 6-month $9.99 (~$1.67/month), or 1-year $22.99 (~$1.92/month).
