Deciding what to cook is the tiring part. FridgePlan does it for you. Open the app and three dinners are already waiting — chosen around what is sitting in your fridge right now. Don't like one? Tap the swap button, pick a mood, and it changes instantly. No loading. No sign-up. Planning works offline. TEN SECONDS, NOT TEN MINUTES Every plan is built on your phone from a hand-checked catalog of over a thousand home-cooking recipes. Nothing has to be fetched, so a new plan appears the moment you ask for it — on the train, in the supermarket, on a plane. BUILT AROUND YOUR FRIDGE Tell the app what you have and it favours dishes that use it, especially the things about to go off. Mark a meal as cooked and your stock updates itself. Nothing to weigh, nothing to scan, nothing to keep perfectly accurate. ADJUSTING IS THE WHOLE POINT - Simpler, lighter, heartier, kid-friendly — one tap each - Japanese, Western or Chinese style - Leave out one ingredient you're tired of - Lock the dishes you like and rebuild the rest - Drag a card to another day - Eating out? Mark the day and the shopping list adjusts A SHOPPING LIST THAT WRITES ITSELF Everything the three dinners need, minus what you already own, sorted the way you actually walk through a store. Tick an item off and it moves straight into your fridge list. SET FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD Quantities scale to the number of adults and children you cook for. Allergies are never suggested. Disliked ingredients stay off the main plate. Weeknight cooking time is capped at what you can realistically manage. QUIET REMINDERS An optional nudge in the afternoon tells you what tonight's dinner is, so you can defrost something or grab one missing item on the way home. FRIDGEPLAN PRO - Every ad removed - The full recipe catalog, including the time-saver, lighter, hearty and family collections - Monthly with a 2-week free trial, or yearly with a free month Planning and swapping meals is unlimited and free forever — Pro is about removing ads and widening the catalog. Recipes are AI-generated and human-checked. FridgePlan is a cooking convenience app: it makes no health, dietary or medical claims.
