No more daily "what's for dinner?". Keep your recipes in one place and Amamable turns them into a 1โ€“14 day meal plan, sums up one grocery list and guides you through cooking step by step. ONE-TAP MEAL PLAN Pick the number of days and the app schedules breakfasts, lunches and dinners with portions for the whole family. It takes dishes you or your family liked first, then your other recipes, then ready-made dishes by Amamable Chefs โ€” so a few recipes still fill a week. No dish repeats until all have been used. You can also pick your own recipe pool. BASE INGREDIENTS Save tortillas, stock, a sauce or dough once as a base ingredient, with how much it makes (e.g. 8 pcs, 2 l). In tacos or soup it is one ingredient line โ€” tap it to see the recipe scaled to that dish. The shopping list adds its ingredients ("from Tortilla"), and the dish's allergens and calories include it. ALL YOUR RECIPES IN ONE PLACE Paste an Instagram or website link, add a photo of a cookbook page or a PDF, and the app reads the ingredients and steps. You start with 10 free AI calls, unlimited with Premium. You always set allergens yourself. RECIPE MAP A recipe with a Google Maps link gets a pin with a photo of the dish: your food places, those nearby and one-tap navigation. Your location is not sent to Amamable. CALORIES AND MY WEIGHT Recipes show calories, protein, fat and carbs per serving, calculated from the ingredients. With your consent you log your weight on a chart, and the newest entry updates your planned portions from the next day. No goals, no ratings. GROCERY LIST STRAIGHT FROM THE PLAN Ingredients from all planned meals are summed and scaled to your household size (kgโ†”g, lโ†”ml). One list for the whole week instead of three store runs. Works fully offline. SHOPPING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY Up to 6 people on one Premium subscription share recipes, the meal plan and shopping lists โ€” everyone ticks items off on their own phone, even offline. Whoever has Premium creates the family; the others join with a code for free. SHARE RECIPES AS A LINK Share any of your recipes as a public link. Anyone can open it in the browser without an account โ€” and with the app installed, add it to their menu with one tap. ALLERGENS UNDER CONTROL Set your family's allergens once โ€” the plan automatically skips every recipe that contains them. PORTIONS MATCHED TO YOUR HOUSEHOLD With your consent, ingredient quantities and the shopping list scale to the calorie needs of the people eating โ€” a plain algorithm, not AI. No calorie need on file? You get exactly one serving, never a guess. READY-MADE DISHES FROM REAL CHEFS No recipes of your own yet? Plan straight from the ready-made dish catalog by Amamable Chefs โ€” real authors with a trust badge, not a generator โ€” filtered by your household's allergens. A dish becomes your recipe once you like it or add it to the plan. QUICK INVENTORY Snap your fridge or cupboard and Amamable shows your recipes that use what's there. It only checks whether a product is there โ€” never how much โ€” and stores nothing. SHOPPING AGENT (PREMIUM) Amamable puts the items from your shopping list into the cart of your own online store account โ€” stores in Poland, Germany, France and Romania, 50 items a month. You sign in, place the order and pay yourself; the agent never does. MEAL CALENDAR List, week or month view. Move and swap meals by hand โ€” the generated plan is a starting point, not a verdict. ZERO AI IN PLANNING Amamable deliberately uses no AI to build your plan. The same user and the same date always produce the same plan โ€” no hallucinated recipes, no made-up ingredients on your list. AI only helps outside the plan โ€” importing a recipe, recognising products in a fridge photo, filling a store cart โ€” and never sets your allergens. Available in 21 European languages. Sign in with e-mail, Apple or Google, and delete your account any time in the app. Questions or feature ideas? Write to: info@amamable.com
