MealPlanner is a free app to build your family's digital cookbook. Start with about thirty well-known dishes or save the recipes you actually cook, from a link, a photo or plain text. Plan a weekly menu with automatic rotation that surfaces the recipes you haven't cooked in the longest time, and turn that menu into a grocery list grouped by supermarket aisle. Built for Belgian, Dutch, and French households.
Yes. At the start you pick from about thirty well-known dishes, from Belgian classics to pasta, fish and vegetarian, and they land in your cookbook straight away with ingredients and steps. Is your dish not there? Type its name and we write the recipe. You adjust everything afterwards to how you make it, and add your own recipes whenever you like.
Your recipe library is yours — every recipe you save, every menu you plan, every grocery list you export. We never share your library publicly, never index it in search engines, and never use your recipes to train AI. Think of it as your family's digital cookbook, owned by you, hosted by us.
MealPlanner records the date each recipe was last in your weekly menu. When you build a new menu, the recipe picker surfaces the meals you haven't cooked in the longest time first — so your family naturally rotates through its favorites without you having to remember when you last cooked each one. Recipe cards also show "last cooked X days ago" so you can decide at a glance.
Yes. Paste a recipe URL and our AI automatically extracts the title, ingredients, cooking steps, photos, and cook time. Works with most recipe sites worldwide, including Belgian and Dutch food blogs. You can also add recipes manually if you want — your library, your way.
Yes. Take a photo of a recipe from a cookbook, a recipe card or a screenshot, up to three photos per recipe. MealPlanner reads the title, the ingredients and the steps. You can also just paste the text of a recipe, for example from a message or a note.
With one tap on your weekly menu. MealPlanner adds up the ingredients of every dish, scales them to the number of people and groups them by supermarket aisle. What you already have in your pantry is taken off. In the shop you tick off what is in your cart, and you can export the list as well.
Yes. Your recipes, menus, and grocery lists are private by default and only visible when you're logged in. Pages under /app are blocked from search engines via robots.txt and X-Robots-Tag headers. We use encryption in transit and at rest. We never sell your data and only share it with the service providers that run the app, such as our hosting and the AI that imports recipes.
Yes. MealPlanner is free for personal use: no credit card, no trial that runs out, no hidden costs. Your recipes, weekly menus and grocery lists are and stay free and unlimited.
Any store. Your grocery list is grouped by aisle, the way Colruyt, Delhaize, Aldi, Lidl or Albert Heijn lay out their shops, and you tick off what's in your cart. There is no link with an online shop: you don't order through MealPlanner and it shows no prices. You can also print or export the list.
Add what you have at home, optionally with expiration dates. One by one, or with a photo of your receipt, your groceries or your fridge: MealPlanner turns it into a list you check first. The photos themselves are not kept. What expires soon sits at the top, and MealPlanner suggests recipes that use it up. What you already have also comes off your grocery list.
MealPlanner works in your phone's browser, and with a few taps you put it on your home screen, where it opens like an app. Nothing to install from an app store. On Android you can then share a recipe straight from Chrome or Instagram to MealPlanner.
MealPlanner is fully available in Dutch, French, and English. Switch languages at any time from your profile.
Free, no credit card. Build your family's recipe library in minutes.
