The Problem

Home meal planners collect recipes across Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, videos, and recipe websites, but existing tools often fail to import them or require tedious copying and pasting. Even after meals are selected, unreliable retailer connections can duplicate ingredients, lose quantities, or prevent the shopping list from reaching the grocery cart.

Potential Solution

Build a share-sheet and browser-based recipe capture product that extracts ingredients from links, captions, screenshots, and video transcripts. It combines selected recipes into a deduplicated shopping list, asks the user to confirm ambiguous quantities, and exports a retailer-ready list or cart with a visible verification step. Begin with recipe capture and structured list export before adding direct retailer connections.

Why Now?

More recipes are discovered through social posts and short-form video, while grocery ordering increasingly happens online. That widening gap creates demand for a dependable bridge between inspiration, meal planning, and purchasing.

It was an easy decision to upgrade to premium for the offered features.

Meal Planner & Recipe Keeper

This app is the best thing since sliced bread. I've gone through a lot of old recipes I'd printed out, all my recipes saved on IG, pinterest, my notes app, etc, and stashed them all. I love creating collections: appetizers, breakfast, five star recipes, salads, slow cooker, instapot, meat, veggies, pot luck faves, desert, Asian, Greek, etc., and being able to plan out my week! Genius! Love that there's no pop-up adds that show up while I'm trying to read a
