QiMeal is your AI-powered food assistant for real life. Plan what to eat, cook step by step, and fill your grocery cart – all in one place. No more “What should I eat tonight?” and no more food wasted in the fridge. PLAN Tell QiMeal what you feel like eating (or let the assistant ask you smarter questions). Get instant meal ideas that fit your taste, budget, time, and kitchen equipment. You can choose comfort food, something fast, high-protein, or fully plant-based – without scrolling through thousands of recipes you’ll never cook. COOK Every recipe comes with clear, guided steps you can follow while you cook. No ads, no long blog stories, just “here’s what you do now.” USE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE Scan ingredients you already own, or just tell QiMeal what’s in your fridge. The app builds recipes around what you’ve got, not around perfect Pinterest kitchens. The goal is simple: turn what you have into dinner, not into waste. GROCERIES WITHOUT GUESSING Each recipe automatically generates a shopping list with the exact products you’re missing. For weekly planning, you can fill an entire cart for multiple meals in one go. No more copying ingredients by hand from five different tabs. SMART LISTS Your shopping list updates in real time: if you remove “tomatoes,” recipes adapt. If you double the portions, the list scales automatically. You always know what to buy, how much, and why it’s there. PERSONAL TO YOU QiMeal respects how you actually eat. You can set dietary preferences (vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, high protein, budget-friendly), ingredients you never want to see, and known allergies. The assistant remembers and recommends accordingly. MEAL PREP AND ROUTINE Plan one dinner or plan the whole week. Lock in meals for later, batch-cook, or build a rotation of trusted meals you love. QiMeal is designed to save you time during the week, not give you more admin. FOR BUSY HUMANS - You’re tired and hungry after work - You’re cooking for one, two, or a family - You want to spend less money eating out - You don’t want to throw food away QiMeal is built for that. WHY QIMEAL - One app: planning, cooking, shopping - Fast answers instead of endless searching - Recipes adapted to what you already have - Clear portions and ingredient lists WE DON’T JUST SHOW RECIPES Most “recipe apps” stop at inspiration. QiMeal goes all the way to action: here’s what to cook, here’s what you’re missing, here’s how to get it. From idea to plate. START NOW Open the app. Say what you’re in the mood for – or say “I don’t know.” QiMeal will ask a few quick, smart questions and give you real options you can actually make. Eat better. Waste less. Spend less time deciding. Privacy Policy: https://qimeal.com/privacy TOS: https://qimeal.com/terms
