PlatePicker: Meal Planner

What should I cook tonight? PlatePicker answers that — every single day.

PlatePicker is a smart meal planner and recipe tracker that learns your cooking habits, remembers what you've made, and suggests dinner ideas from your own repertoire. No endless recipe scrolling. No accounts. No ads. No data leaves your device — works fully offline.

★ SMART MEAL SUGGESTIONS Tap a mood — Comfort, Light & Fresh, Adventurous, or Quick & Easy — and PlatePicker picks the perfect dish from your repertoire. The algorithm factors in season, last-cooked date, your ratings, dismissals, and the time of day. The Today screen shifts through dawn, midday, dusk, and night gradients so it feels different every time you open it.

★ YOUR PERSONAL COOKBOOK Build a digital cookbook of meals you actually cook. Add photos, ratings, effort levels, ingredients, and recipe links. Filter by season, category, cuisine, or rating — and never forget that one amazing pasta recipe again.

★ PLATE QUEST — DAILY COOKING QUESTS Daily and weekly quests that nudge you toward variety. Cook anything and any matching quest auto-completes. Earn XP, level up through 10 chef titles, unlock card themes, and keep your cooking streak alive. All local — no logins, no leaderboards.

★ DIETARY & ALLERGEN FILTERS 8 allergen filters (gluten, lactose, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, shellfish) plus therapeutic tags (FODMAP-safe, Low-glycemic, Iron-rich, Diabetes-friendly). Cooking for a guest with restrictions? Save their profile in Guest Mode and filter every screen — Cookbook, Catalog, Today, Weekly Plan — with one tap.

★ NUTRITIONIST-REVIEWED CATALOG 38 curated dishes you can add to your cookbook with a tap. Each carries calorie counts, cuisine flags, digestibility ratings, and therapeutic tags. Selected dishes are reviewed by an independent certified nutritionist — look for the verified badge.

★ WEEKLY MEAL PLANNER (Premium) Auto-generate a balanced 7-day meal plan that respects your effort levels, budget, and seasonal availability. Lock days, shuffle individual meals, or regenerate the whole week. Prep-friendly meals automatically cover adjacent days for batch cooking.

★ AUTOMATIC GROCERY LIST (Premium) Every weekly plan generates a deduplicated shopping list with source-meal tracking — so you know what each ingredient is for. Share it as plain text in one tap.

★ COOKING ANALYTICS (Premium) Effort distribution, category balance, rating trends, top dishes, monthly recap, and a cooking calendar heatmap. Discover your cooking personality — Adventurous Chef, Gourmet, Efficient Cook, Comfort King, or Balanced Chef.

★ FORGOTTEN-DISH RESCUE & WIDGETS PlatePicker reminds you of dishes you used to love but haven't cooked in months. Two home-screen widgets: today's meal suggestion, and your daily quest with streak and XP progress. Glance and go.
