What it does
A week in your carb range
Every meal shows carbs per serving, fibre, cooking time and cost. Carbs are spread across the day, and every meal has fibre and protein. You set the range, or start from a default based on published guidance.
Fits your budget and your time
Set a weekly grocery budget, how long each meal may take and how often you want to cook, from every day to once a week. Costs are estimates from official average-price data.
A shopping list you can take anywhere
Tick off what you already have, then shop from the app or copy the list as plain text into Reminders, Notes or any to-do app. It works offline.
How to eat each meal
Every recipe comes with an order to eat it in: vegetables first, then protein, then carbs last, plus the plate check. It's a helpful habit, not a treatment.
You can swap or pin any meal, rate meals so the next plan learns, and tap "Low energy tonight" for a meal with 10 minutes or less of hands-on time in the same carb range and budget. Recipes never include your allergies or the foods you don't eat.
See it before you sign up

Where our guidance comes from
Our carb ranges and low blood sugar help are estimates based on these published sources.
- American Diabetes Association: What is the Diabetes Plate? and Standards of Care 2026, section 5: nutrition
- Diabetes Canada: Carb counting
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Treating low blood sugar
- NHS: Low blood sugar
The eating order is based on small studies. In 2019, a study of 15 people with prediabetes found that eating vegetables and protein before carbohydrate led to lower blood sugar peaks after the meal (Shukla et al. 2019). A 16-week trial in 45 adults with prediabetes found that people could stick to the habit, but their A1C didn't change significantly compared with standard advice (Shukla et al. 2023). So we present it as a helpful habit.
