Show HN: I Hacked My Family's Meal Planning with an App

Me and my wife have been meal planning for the last 5 years. We used google keep. It was working for us, but during the years we needed to streamline the process. We tried other methods but nothing worked, so I spent the last 1 month hacking together this custom app. It includes all we needed to make our meal planning at least 5x more efficient. That is: syncing, one tap import of recipes, groceries, shopping mode, weekly meal plan, custom meals (like leftover, veg, eating out..)

We managed to do last Sunday's meal plan in under a minute, since all our favorite (100+) recipes are in one place. We also tagged them by daily food themes ( Monday-pasta, Tuesday- meat..). So we can quickly & mindlessly select a meal for each day.

For the app I used AI to classify groceries by aisle, but not generative, since I found that simple ML Models do a better job.

I would love any feedback from other hackers.

Feel free to use it. It's free, apart from syncing, which I had to add a subscription for due to server costs. I tried to make it generous: one subscription per 10 people.
