Your week, planned on one calendar. Your recipes, created by AI or imported from the web. Your shopping, sent to Instacart in one tap. Cheffy is the meal planner for people who don't want to think about dinner anymore. **A calendar that runs your kitchen** Every meal, every day, every week — in one place. Cheffy's calendar is the control center: tap a day to plan a meal, long-press to move meals between days, and copy whole weeks forward when you find a rhythm that works. Weekly and monthly views keep the whole picture visible. **A library most apps can't match** 575,000+ recipes. Where the depth actually shows up: • Mexican grill high-protein dinners — 8,853 • Indian Instant Pot high-protein dinners — 4,334 • Vegan sheet-pan high-protein dinners — 3,801 • American Air Fryer low-calorie lunches — 3,686 • Slow-cooker vegetarian high-fiber dinners — 2,652 Pick any cuisine, cook method, diet, and macro target. There are thousands. **Discover, swipe, save** Browse with a swipe interface built for speed. Filter by diet, cuisine, cook method, meal type, and nutrition (high protein, high fiber, low sugar, low fat, low carb, low calorie). Community ratings surface what actually works. Save favorites, build collections, never lose a recipe again. **AI-powered recipe creation** Let AI be your sous chef. Generate a recipe from a natural-language description ("chicken with what's in my fridge"). Modify any recipe by chat ("make it vegan, halve the protein, add fiber"). Scan a recipe from a cookbook or photo. Or paste any recipe URL and we'll import it. Every method preserves ingredients, steps, and nutrition. **Hands-free cook mode** Wave your hand over your phone to advance to the next step, hold to go back. Your screen stays awake, your fingers stay floury. No taps, no timers. **Smart shopping, aisle by aisle** Your meal plan auto-generates a shopping list grouped by grocery aisle — produce, dairy, pantry — so you move through the store without backtracking. One tap sends everything to Instacart for same-day delivery, or copy the list to use with any other app. **Built for speed** Cheffy loads instantly and works offline. Your plan, recipes, and shopping list are always a tap away, even without signal. Everything syncs across your devices when you're back online. **Complete nutrition** Calories, protein, carbs, fats, fiber, sugar — on every recipe. Metric or imperial, switch with one tap. **Key Features:** • Calendar-driven weekly & monthly meal planning • 575,000+ recipes with deep filter combinations • Swipe-based recipe discovery • Community ratings • Smart shopping lists organized by aisle • Hands-free cook mode (wave to advance) • Recipe favorites & collections • Works offline **Premium Features:** • AI recipe creation, modification, scanning, URL import • One-tap Instacart checkout • Detailed nutrition tracking & macros Try Cheffy free for 30 days — no email, no subscription to start.
