Paddy Hogan came home from California with a dream. A healthy dream. A plant-based dream. A slow cooked brisket dream. Ok, Paddy had a few dreams.

Turn the ingredients in your kitchen into a meal you can review and prepare. MagicMeal combines local cooking methods for supported ingredients. Confirm the state of foods such as rice, beans and meat, then review quantities, required water and steps before saving. Times are estimates, and package directions still matter. Ingredients without a reviewed method do not become invented recipes: edit the list or write your own recipe. Save recipes and favorites, follow one step at a time and use the kitchen timer. An optional Live Activity can show the countdown on the Lock Screen when available and authorized; it does not guarantee a sound alarm. Meal composition and manual recipes work without Apple Intelligence. On compatible devices and languages, it can help match an ingredient name, always with your confirmation. It does not write cooking methods. There is no external AI provider. With MagicMeal PRO, organize collections, plan dinners, reuse a week without overwriting existing meals and review combined shopping lists. Portion adjustments use editable, interpretable amounts; free text is not multiplied automatically. In the pantry, you enter what you have and confirm deductions from the list — no automatic inventory or expiry tracking. Requires iOS 26 or later. Culinary coverage is limited and shown in the app. Quantities are editable proposals; the app does not guarantee suitability for allergies or diets. PRO features require eligible access. Products, prices and terms appear before purchase confirmation. Eligible earlier purchases remain respected.
