About
Saapadu means "food" in Tamil - a smart meal planner for South Indian home cooks who want better variety, less repetition, and zero decision fatigue.
-------------------------------------
SMART DAILY SUGGESTIONS
-------------------------------------
Get three personalized meal cards for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Saapadu auto-detects the current meal by time of day.
Every suggestion is scored for freshness:
- Health score - healthier dishes rank higher
- Recency - recent meals are deprioritized for two weeks
- Frequency - often-logged dishes appear less in 30 days
- Meal-time fit - breakfast idlis, lunch rice, dinner chapathi
- Smart variety - keeps plans from feeling repetitive
Don't like a card? Shuffle just that one - others stay. Tap Change to search your full list with veg/non-veg filters. Tap Done - Log it, or use Log a meal to record anything in seconds. Veg Day badge shows when non-veg is off the menu.
-------------------------------------
MONTHLY MEAL PLANNING
-------------------------------------
See your full calendar month from the 1st across every active meal slot. Auto-generate a balanced plan that avoids repeats and spreads cuisines across the week.
Lunch and dinner support mix-and-match - two dishes per slot, like a real thali. Tap + to add, swipe to remove. Navigate months, regenerate with one tap, and browse completed months tracked for the year. Plans save locally.
-------------------------------------
MEAL HISTORY
-------------------------------------
Every logged meal makes tomorrow smarter. Browse by day or week, search by food, meal type, or date, swipe to delete entries. Logs feed the engine so suggestions stay varied.
