## What is Cook with Meal Mate?

You saved that recipe on Instagram three weeks ago. Can you find it?
                                              
Didn't think so.                      

Meal Mate turns recipe chaos into a system that actually works. Save recipes from social media, websites, or even a photo of a cookbook — and never lose one again.

PLAN YOUR WEEK IN SECONDS                             
Tap once to generate a weekly meal plan from your saved recipes. Lock in favorites, swap what doesn't work, and never answer "what's for dinner?" again.
                                                                                                            
AUTO-ORGANIZED GROCERY LIST                           
Add meals to your plan and your shopping list builds itself — sorted by category so you move through the store without backtracking.                              
                                                                                                            
YOUR RECIPE COLLECTION, YOUR WAY
