What it does
Every night: "what do we eat?" → "I dunno, what do you want?" → takeout again. Chowy fixes it. Everyone in the house swipes Tinder-style on meal ideas and you cook what you actually agree on. Plus a pantry, weekly planner, barcode scanner, and AI recipes.
End the 'what do you want?' / 'I don't know, you pick' standoff. Everyone swipes, Chowy calls the match — then handles the recipes, pantry, and shopping list. Free on the App Store and Google Play.
Stop asking “what do you want?” and hearing “I don’t know, you pick.” Everyone swipes a deck, Chowy lands on the meal you all said yes to — then handles the recipes, the pantry, and the list. You bring the appetite; Chowy does the admin. You bring the appetite. Chowy handles the part where nobody can agree and the recipe is buried in a four-minute video. Paste a link from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or any recipe site and Chowy pulls out the actual ingredients and steps. Or describe what you're craving and let it write one, cover photo and all. Everyone swipes the same recipes, yum or nope. Land on one you all liked and Chowy calls it: it’s a match. The end of “I’m easy, you pick” — send it…from chowy.app

Initially, I created a simple app, in which we listed all the recipes we ever prepared, and it would propose randomly three of them. We would then choose together one of them. This app[0] turned into a tinder-like app, which would propose every day a set of recipes to…

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
