This started as a very real, very repetitive conversation between my partner and me every single week. We’d go grocery shopping with good intentions, plan a few meals, buy a bunch of ingredients… and then halfway through the week we’d realise we’d barely reused anything. Herbs wilting in the fridge. Half a packet of something we only needed once. Eventually throwing food out and wondering why our grocery bill kept creeping up. Every week also started with the same question: “What are we making this week?” And the answer was always… “I don’t know yet.” So instead of planning meals after shopping, I wanted to flip it. What if we just told an app what we like, what we already have, and what we want to cook — and it handled the thinking part? This app is built to reduce food waste, reuse ingredients across meals, and make weekly planning feel less like a chore and more like a quick decision. Fewer wasted ingredients, fewer last-minute takeout nights, and a bit more money saved along the way. Would love to hear how others plan meals (or don’t) and what you struggle with most each week.
