MealJar: Meal Planner for Busy Families

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.

That is: syncing, one tap import of recipes, groceries, shopping mode, weekly meal plan, custom meals (like leftover, veg, eating out..)

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.

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986.
