Filipino meal planning that actually knows what's in your ref.

Open app ↗

What it is

An AI meal plan generator for household families. Eliminates the mental load of deciding what to cook — personalized plans based on your household type, ingredients, and budget.

What kept happening

Every meal planning app I tried assumed ingredients I don't have, meals I don't cook, and a budget that doesn't match. The gap wasn't the AI — it was the context the AI was working from.

What I built

A token-based meal planner where the AI knows what Filipino households actually buy, cook, and can afford. Manual GCash flow with an admin approval panel so payment doesn't require a payment gateway. Household-type-aware copy and recipes — a solo renter gets different suggestions than a family of six.

What I'd change

The GCash flow is manual — screenshot, submit, wait for admin approval. It works at small scale. It won't hold at volume. That's a known constraint, not an oversight.
