Yumm Yummy!2025 · yumm-yummy.com · ▲6Hi all, I’m a parent and meal planning for my kids always felt overwhelming. I built a web app that would let me create profiles for my children, plan their meals, put their meal preferences, recipes, export the plan to my 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 with more functionalities. I hoped it would be helpful for other parents. So i shared it with some family and friends. I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks
Meals You Love – AI-powered meal planning and grocery shoppingOct 2025 · mealsyoulove.com · ▲60Meals You Love is a meal planning app that creates weekly meal plans tailored to your tastes and dietary preferences.

MealJar: Meal Planner for Busy FamiliesFeb 2026 · mealjar.app · ▲6Me 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…
