DishBinder

Read full description

DishBinder is a recipe keeper, meal planner, grocery list and food log in one app. It closes the loop between your pantry, your plate, and your week: save every recipe, plan your meals, shop once, and track what you eat. • Save recipes from any URL, a TikTok/Instagram/YouTube video, a photo of a recipe card, or a Word/Excel/PDF file — all in one recipe organizer. Import several recipe cards from your photos at once. • Honest macros from YOUR ingredients, mapped to USDA data and scaled by serving size. Every recipe gets an A–E health grade. • A pantry that updates itself — cook a recipe and the ingredients leave; low stock flows into your grocery list. Scan expiration dates so nothing slips by. • Snap your plate to log a meal in seconds, or scan a barcode for packaged foods. • Restaurant Quick Add — verified per-serving nutrition for 70+ chain restaurants, so eating out still counts. • Paste a delivery receipt (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Walmart, Kroger) and your pantry loads itself. • AI Chef chat, plus an AI Meal Planner that plans around what's already in your kitchen — with diet presets like keto, high-protein, and Mediterranean — and a grocery list that auto-deduplicates the week. • Rate recipes and mark "I made it" to surface your real favorites; organize everything into collections and folders. • "What can I cook?" ranks your saved recipes by how much of each one your pantry already covers. • Share any recipe as a public link, or a whole collection as a cookbook. • Weekly Reports: nutrition, weight, and an energy-balance view of what you ate vs. what you burned — plus Share my week: your meal plan, day by day, in one message. • Syncs with Apple Health — reads steps, weight, and active energy; writes your meals and water back. • Home-screen widget for today's macros at a glance. COOK TOGETHER WITH DISHBINDER FAMILY • Share one recipe library, pantry, and meal plan with up to 6 people. Everyone stays in sync — plan together, shop once.
