Forage connects your recipe collection to your weekly meal plan and builds your shopping list automatically, grouped by the aisles in your actual store, in the order you walk around it. RECIPES Add recipes manually or import them directly from any website using the Share Sheet in Safari. Scale servings up or down and every ingredient adjusts proportionally. Mark ingredients as pantry staples to keep them off your shopping list permanently. Recipe images are saved to your device so they load instantly, even offline. MEAL PLANNER A 29-day rolling calendar lets you plan meals up to two weeks ahead and review the last two weeks of history. Drag meals between days to reschedule. Past days are read-only so your history is always intact. SHOPPING LIST Your list builds itself from everything planned from today forward. Ingredients from multiple recipes are combined automatically, two recipes calling for 200g of pasta becomes 400g. Items are grouped by store aisle in the exact order you walk your shop. Manually add one-off items alongside your meal plan ingredients. Check items off as you go, correct any aisle with a long-press, and enjoy a small celebration when everything is done. SMART CATEGORISATION Forage learns which aisle each ingredient belongs in. A curated keyword system handles common groceries instantly. Anything unusual is classified by an on-device AI model — no data ever leaves your phone. You can always correct a misclassified item and Forage will remember your preference permanently. YOUR STORE, YOUR ORDER Set up your aisles in Settings to match the layout of your actual shop. Drag them into the exact sequence you walk, your shopping list follows immediately. No more backtracking. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No subscription. No cloud. Everything stays on your device.
