Finally, a meal planning app that does the work for you
MyCookingList plans your week, saves the recipes you already love, and turns both into a grocery list automatically. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes, no guessing.
What to look for in a meal planning app
Not every app that calls itself a "meal planner" actually saves you time. Here's what matters.
Fast to set up
A plan you build in minutes, not a tool that takes a weekend to learn.
Keeps your own recipes
Room for the recipes you already love, not just a fixed recipe database.
Builds your grocery list
Your plan should turn into a shopping list on its own — that's the whole point.
Tracks what's done
Progress you can see, so shopping and cooking both feel like they're moving forward.
