## What is Cenata?

Never answer "What's for dinner?" again.

Decision fatigue is real, and dinner is where it hits hardest. After a long day, the last thing you want is to stare into the fridge and negotiate with everyone in the house. Cenata fixes that.

Cenata is a meal-planning app built around one idea: your family already knows what they like to eat. You just need something to help you decide. Build your personal meal library, set your household's preferences once, and let Cenata handle the rest.

Free to try — then $3.99 once, and it's yours forever.

No subscription. No auto-renew. No account or sign-up. No tracking or analytics of any kind. Your meal library and history live on your phone and nowhere else. Most meal apps cost $6 a month; Cenata costs less than a coffee, one time.

A smarter kind of random

Cenata doesn't just pick a meal at random. Its decision engine weighs your full history, applies recency penalties so the same meal doesn't come up two weeks in a row, and boosts options that match how you're actually feeling tonight. Tell it you're low on energy and short on time and it steers toward quick and easy. Tell it you're craving something specific and it factors that in too. The more you use it, the sharper its suggestions get.

Your meals, your library

Get started with a built-in catalog of 170+ ready-to-go meals, or add your own from day one. Every meal in the pool is one you choose. Cenata never suggests anything you haven't put in. Set dietary flags for your household (vegetarian, dairy-free, and more) and every suggestion automatically respects them.

No more "we just had that"

Cenata tracks every dinner decision and uses a rolling history window to avoid repetition. Meals you've had recently are weighted down; meals that haven't appeared in a while get their moment. You'll never cycle through the same four dinners on repeat.

Plan ahead when you want to

Use the weekly meal plan grid to map out dinners in advance, great for households that shop once a week or coordinate around a busy schedule. Fill the whole week or just a few days, and adjust as plans change.

Shopping list built in

Turn any meal into a shopping list with a tap. Add items, check them off as you shop, and arrive at dinner with everything already in hand.

Cook mode with smart scaling

Pull up any recipe while you cook. Adjust the serving size and watch every ingredient scale automatically, fractions, mixed numbers, and all. No mental math required.

Built for households

Configure dietary preferences once and every future suggestion respects them. As your history grows together, Cenata asks fewer questions and makes better picks.
