Add One Thing
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tell it what you're about to eat. It tells you one thing to add so the meal actually fills you up. Instant noodles? Crack an egg in. Toast? Peanut butter. A salad? Add chickpeas. One addition, chosen for what you already have and where you are. HOW IT WORKS โข Type the meal. Common foods answer instantly, even offline. โข Get a plain-English read on what's missing and up to three things to add, sorted by effort. โข Tap Add. That's it. There is no logging, no diary, no daily total. IT KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE At home, at work, out, or nowhere near a kitchen. The same meal gets different answers in each. The airport version of "instant noodles" never asks you to cook. IT LEARNS WHAT YOU KEEP IN Tell it the staples you usually have. Suggestions start with those. Say "not for me" to anything you dislike and it never comes back. ALLERGENS ARE ABSOLUTE Set your allergens once. Nothing containing them is ever suggested. Ever. APPETITE MODE For days when eating feels like work, one well-chosen addition is enough. It says so and stops. WHAT IT WILL NEVER DO No calories. No macros. No weights. No goals. No streak to break. It only ever adds. ADD ONE THING PLUS โข Save the combinations that worked and repeat them in one tap โข Build your kitchen so suggestions fit what you actually have Monthly or annual. The annual plan includes a free trial. Food ideas, not medical or dietetic advice. Terms of Use: https://dmvaceapp.com/addonething/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://dmvaceapp.com/addonething/privacy/

Dinner Decoder turns a photo of your kitchen into dinner you can actually make tonight. Point your camera at your fridge or pantry and Dinner Decoder identifies what's there, then hands back real, cookbook-quality recipes โ measured quantities, timings, heat levels, doneness cues โ built around the food you already own. Every recipe shows exactly what you have and what you'd need to buy, so you always know before you start cooking. No calorie counting. No macro logging. No meal plan to fall off. Just a good answer to "what's for dinner?" โ and a way to use up what's already in your kitchen instead of letting it go to waste. Dinner Decoder Pro unlocks unlimited scans and the full recipe library. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
