Stop deciding what to cook. MealRotate keeps your own recipes and deals you a week of seven different dinners with one tap. No catalog to browse, no account to create, no subscription. The rotation is weighted by how long ago you cooked something, so the meals you keep forgetting come back on their own — and the ones you just made stay out of the way. The cooldown adapts to how many recipes you have: a small collection repeats sooner, a large one spreads out. - Shuffle a whole week in one tap - Pin the days you already planned, reroll the ones you don't like - Mark meals as cooked so the rotation knows what you actually ate - Import and export your recipes as CSV — bring your spreadsheet, take it back - Works completely offline. Nothing leaves your phone. Built for people who already keep a list of what they cook and are tired of running the same five meals into the ground.
