Meal Planning App | MyRecipe

MyRecipe is a meal planning app that uses your own saved recipes. Drag dinners onto a weekly calendar, generate a grocery list, and keep the whole household in sync.

Most meal-planning apps push you toward their recipe library — usually the same generic 'one-pan chicken' you've already cooked twelve times. MyRecipe flips that: your meal plan is built from your own saved recipes. Drag any dinner from your library onto Monday, double-tap to set servings, and that week's grocery list updates itself, sorted by aisle, with duplicate ingredients combined. It's a meal planning app for people who already know what they like to cook and just need to organize when.

The weekly meal planner is collaborative. On the Family plan, every member of your household sees the same calendar — so when your spouse adds Tuesday's tacos, you see it on your phone before you start defrosting chicken. Plan one week or four. Copy last week's plan and tweak it. Mark meals as cooked to build a 'recently made' filter. The shopping list, the saved recipes, and the meal calendar are all the same database — change one and the rest update automatically. No more juggling four apps to get dinner on the table.

FAQ

Can I plan meals using my own recipes, not yours?

Yes — that's the whole point. MyRecipe doesn't have a generic recipe library you have to use. You import or save your own, then plan from those.

Does the meal planner generate a shopping list?

Yes. Once recipes are on the calendar, the shopping list builds itself — sorted by aisle, with duplicate ingredients combined.

Can my spouse and I share the same meal plan?

Yes, on the Family plan. Up to four household members share the same recipes, meal plan, and shopping list in real time.
