Meal DNA turns the food you already have into meals you'll want to cook.
Tick the staples in your kitchen, and Meal DNA shows what you can cook tonight: recipes ranked by what you have and what's about to expire. Missing a couple of things? They go straight onto your shopping list.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Quick start: tick your kitchen staples and add them all in one tap.
• "What can I cook tonight?": ideas ranked by your pantry and by what's about to expire.
• Over 1,000 world recipes: Indian, Mediterranean, East Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern and more, with steps and servings.
• Pantry: amounts and expiry dates, with a reminder before food goes off. Add several items at once, scan a barcode, or snap a photo.
• A daily dinner idea at 5:30 pm, made from what's in your pantry.
• Meal plans for weight loss, muscle gain, maintenance or more energy, built from your ingredients.
• Calories and macros per serving, worked out from a food database.
• Shopping list: add missing ingredients from any recipe in one tap. Back from the shop? "Bought everything" moves the list into your pantry.
• Share recipes and shopping lists as text, ready for WhatsApp, or as a PDF.
• Food log and water tracking, with daily calories and macros.
• Diet AI chat: ask about recipes, swaps and ingredients.
• Backup: save everything to one file and restore it on a new phone.
YOUR PRIVACY, YOUR CHOICE
• Local Only (the default): recipes, ideas and tips come from the library on your phone. No AI requests leave your phone.
• Smart AI: uses the library on your phone first, and asks cloud AI only when it needs to.
• Cloud AI: full AI meal plans and chat.
No account, no ads, no tracking.
