Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Stop wondering what to cook tonight. Eat better, hit your macro goals, and eliminate food waste with Meal-DNA. Meal-DNA turns your kitchen ingredients into goal-aligned meals. Backed by an intelligent on-device nutrition engine, Meal-DNA connects your actual pantry inventory to your personal caloric and macronutrient targets. Whether your goal is muscle gain, fat loss, or balanced maintenance, eat intentionally without spending hours meal planning. COOK FROM YOUR PANTRY, NOT FROM SCRATCH • "What Can I Cook Tonight?": Instantly rank recipes matching ingredients you already have, prioritized by expiring items and remaining daily calories. • Zero Food Waste ("Use It Up"): Track expiration dates and prioritize produce and proteins before they spoil. • Quick Camera & Barcode Scanner: Add items to your virtual pantry in seconds using your camera. • Automatic Cook & Deduct: Finished cooking? Deduct ingredients from your pantry in one tap and automatically log your meal. CHAT-FIRST AI NUTRITIONIST • Natural Conversational Logging: Tell the AI what you ate (e.g., "Had a bowl of Dal Tadka with 1 cup rice and ghee"), confirm the calculated breakdown, and log it instantly. • Pantry-Aware Meal Ideas: Ask for dish ideas tailored specifically to ingredients you want to use up, honoring your cuisine preferences and dietary restrictions. • Local-First Privacy: Choose your AI processing mode—Local-Only (zero data sent off-device), Smart AI, or Cloud AI. PRECISION MACRO & HYDRATION TRACKING • Deterministic Nutrition Science: Caloric and macronutrient recommendations calculated via the Mifflin-St Jeor equation with built-in safety baselines. • Real-Time Macro Ratios: View clean daily breakdowns for protein, carbohydrates, and fats. • Smart Hydration Tracker: Track water consumption with 1-tap beverage presets, reminders, and streak counters. • 7-Day Trend Analytics: Spot patterns and monitor consistency with weekly intake analytics and PDF export options. SEAMLESS RECIPES & GROCERY MANAGEMENT • Personal Cookbook: Save custom favorites and AI-generated meals with pantry readiness indicators. • Automatic Missing Item Check: Compare recipes against your pantry to generate smart shopping lists with zero guesswork. • 1-Tap Pantry Transfer: Check items off your shopping list and move them directly into your pantry inventory. PRIVACY & SAFETY BY DESIGN • Offline-First Persistence: Your pantry, recipes, and logs live securely on your device. • Strict Privacy Boundaries: Biometric details (age, biological sex, height, weight) are calculated locally and never transmitted to external AI endpoints. • Health Safeguards: Built-in BMI and adolescent protections prevent unsafe caloric restrictions.
