## What is AI Meal Planner?

Cooking doesn't live in one app. The plan is in a notes app, the list in a chat, the recipes in screenshots, the fridge in your head.

Alone or with family, DAIDOKO keeps it in one place, and AI does the linking. Say "plan 3 days" or "I bought milk" and DAIDOKO AI shows a card. Edit it if you like; nothing changes until you tap it.

■ Ask DAIDOKO AI
• Tap the round AI button: plan meals, update your list and pantry, find a recipe, log a dish, open a screen, report a bug
• Every change needs your tap on a card; "bought" and "used up" can be undone within 24 hours. It never deletes shared pages or groups, publishes, leaves a group or pays. A recipe is deleted only after your tap and can be restored for 30 days. Report any AI reply in-app
• 30 uses per device to start; an ad adds 3; your own Gemini key: no count

■ Plan meals
• Week view with main, side and soup slots for each meal
• Build a 2, 3, 5 or 7-day plan from your pantry, with a reason per day; swap any day
• Short on recipes? AI drafts missing days, sides, soups — pick which to save
• Optional auto-plan: updates when you open the app, alerts each morning, can auto-add missing items (undo, or turn off)

■ Your recipes
• Search by name, tag or ingredient; import from a URL or text
• Photograph a dish, cookbook page or package and AI drafts the recipe — you edit
• AI recipe images, labeled "This image was created by AI" (3 free a month)
• Cover and step photos; a cooking log; AI-drafted recipes carry a check-it note
• Cooking mode: large single steps, timers, no ads

■ Sharing and publishing
• Link (recipe or recipe book): opens without the app for 7 days after sending (same browser keeps access), not in search
• Publish your own recipe: anyone can view it, it's in search, no expiry; agree to the Terms first. URL imports can't be shared by link or published
• Stop any time; search results and saved copies may linger
• Report a public page from the page or import screen; we may take it down

■ Shopping and pantry
• Add what's missing to your list in one tap
• Move what you bought to the pantry — receipt scan; optional expiry dates
• Snap your fridge — AI reads it; confirm to add to your pantry (photos aren't kept on our servers; applied stocktakes are saved on your phone, last 12, deletable; on family phones too if shared)
• See what you can cook now; reminders for items with a low-stock level

■ Family groups
• Join by invite code — no account
• What you share (recipes with photos, shopping list, pantry) syncs between the group's phones
• Share by group (all with family, recipes only with a friend); list and pantry are shared per store or storage place, or kept private

■ Where your data lives
• No account; we never hold your email or phone number
• Our servers get your data only for family sharing, recipe pages, URL import, AI (incl. DAIDOKO AI's count, ad top-ups), bug reports (text, recent messages, app/OS version, random device ID), content reports and automatic ingredient-name matching (names only)
• Backup, restore, a phone-transfer file, plus your iCloud backup if on — your account, not ours
• AI: 5 free uses a month (AI images: 3, separate). Your own Gemini key removes the limit
• In a family group, what you share (recipes, books, list, pantry, meal plans, cooking logs incl. ratings, notes, place names) goes through our server; delete the group and it, photos included, is erased
• Pages are separate — deleting the group or the recipe doesn't stop them. Stop one from the recipe's menu or Settings → Data → Sharing overview, a book in Settings → Data → Recipe books

Note on AI: an AI feature sends what it needs (photo, ingredients, recipe, notes, receipt text, or what you tell DAIDOKO AI plus your recipe, pantry and list names); see the privacy policy. Only bulk plan inputs and results are kept, results 24 hours at most; reports you send are kept.

DAIDOKO does not detect allergens. Always check the ingredients yourself, especially if you have food allergies.

### 1.13.2 — 2026-09-13

Snap your fridge and AI reads what's inside, ready to add to your pantry — you review every item before anything is added, and you can jump straight to what you can cook with it. Photos are used only for reading and are never stored.

Sharing, reorganized: choose what each group gets — everything with family, recipes only with a friend. A new Sharing overview screen shows what you are sharing with whom.

Shared recipe links now have a pick-up window: only people who open the link within 7 days of sending can view it. Anyone who opened it in time keeps access.

Meal plans can now be built for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Short on recipes? AI drafts the missing days in one batch — review each one before saving.

Take several photos in a row when importing a cookbook page or consulting AI.

Also fixed: photo reads failing with large images, taps that silently did nothing, and other small bugs.
