    Hi HN, I started working on Groceed after Google shut down a shopping list tool I had relied on for years. It wasn't perfect, but it solved a very real problem for me: having a simple, shared list that didn't get in the way. When it disappeared, I tried replacing it. Most apps I found felt wrong in opposite ways: either they were just plain bullet lists, or they tried to turn grocery shopping into a full-blown system with reminders, recipes, suggestions, and settings I never asked for. The main frustration was repetition. Every week I was typing the same items again, even though my shopping…

    Meals You Love is a meal planning app that creates weekly meal plans tailored to your tastes and dietary preferences. It integrates with Kroger and Instacart's APIs so you can add your meal plan groceries directly to your cart. You can also import your own recipes to include alongside AI suggestions. I originally built this to help my wife with meal planning and grocery shopping. We were always struggling to decide what to make and inevitably forgot ingredients. Most meal planners felt too rigid or generic, and few handled the grocery side well (or at all). We've also used meal kits like…

    TLDR; I applied the concept of "don't make me think" to the task of selecting meals, and assembling the shopping list for your grocery run. The basic idea for what I wanted is very simple: Rather than making a shopping list, I wanted to create a re-usable 'meal', with a list of ingredients I'd need to add to my shopping list to make that meal. Then, after selecting meals for the week I'd have a quick 'check' step, where I'm prompted to check the cupboard for each ingredient, before it's added to the shopping list (ie: I'll need ground beef to make tacos, but I already HAVE ground beef in the…

    Hi, I built this iOS App that would let parents create profiles for my children, plan their meals, put their meal preferences, recipes, lunchboxes, export the plan to their calendar, and share links to the timetable with others, and of course an AI helping with the plan and recipe . For now it has a free plan and also paid plan. Initially i built this as a web app but then after feedbacks from close people i developed this iOS app. I would really appreciate your feedback.

    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…
