MealLoop

How it works

A simple loop that starts over every week, with no effort on your part.

Every meal you rate and cook feeds next week's suggestions — hence the name.

At a glance

Recipes & catalog

Save a recipe once, find it again every time you plan.

• Structured recipe cards: steps tagged prep / cook / rest, with total time calculated automatically.
• Required tools and difficulty level shown on every recipe.
• A personal rating per recipe, kept separately for each household member.
• Recipes can be built from sub-recipes (a homemade sauce reused across several dishes).
• Seasonality, cuisine types and tags to find a recipe in an instant.
• An estimated cost per recipe, shown as a range rather than a fixed number.
• Automatic import from a link, pasted text, or a photo — including several pages of a cookbook, reorderable before analysis.

Weekly calendar

The household's shared plan.

• A weekly calendar: each day gets a specific recipe, not just a generic dish.
• Tracks what's already been cooked, capped at once a day to stay realistic.
• Full history, the ability to undo an action, and a trash for deletions.

Smart shopping

The list builds itself from what's planned.

• Generated automatically from the meals planned for the week.
• Deducts what's already in the pantry — no need to buy it twice.
• Sorted by aisle, in the actual order of the chosen store (each store has its own layout).
• A separate "one-off" list on top of the weekly one, for anything outside the plan.
• Manual additions stay visible everywhere, whatever scope is shown.
• Works offline, while you're actually shopping.

Pantry

What you already have at home.

• Household stock, with automatic unit conversion.
• Shelf life per ingredient, to cut down on waste.

Suggestions

Less decision fatigue, without even thinking about it.

• Suggests meals based on the family's rating, how often it's cooked, and how long since it was last made.
• Takes meal categories into account to keep the calendar varied.
• Favors dishes that are in season and leaves out those containing a food someone in the household avoids.

Household expenses

The grocery budget, right inside the app that generates it.

• Tracks the household's food spending, Splitwise/Tricount-style.
• Splits costs between members, with no separate app to juggle.

Community

Beyond the household, a space to share and discover.

• A public space to share your recipes or discover other households'.
• Ratings and reviews on shared recipes, and saved recipes to find them again easily.
• A recipe of the week and a recipe of the month, by category.
• Import a community recipe straight into your own catalog.
• Moderation to keep the space worthwhile.

Nutrition & watchlist

Eat with peace of mind.

• Nutritional info (calories, macronutrients) sourced from a recognised reference database.
• A household watchlist (allergens, additives), with product label scanning before you buy.

Built for the family

One household, several people, a single plan.

• Several accounts per household, invited with a simple code.
• Shared catalog and calendar — everyone keeps their own notes and preferences.

Everyday comfort

The small details that make you keep the app.

• Bilingual interface, French / English.
• Dark, light, or automatic mode.
• Reminders and notifications (shopping day, birthdays...).
• Currency and units adapted to each household.
