Best For

• Overwhelmed home cooks who tried complex meal planning apps and gave up
• Busy parents who need meal planning to take 30 seconds, not 30 minutes

• Decision-fatigued humans who just want to hit shuffle and get on with their lives

What Makes SnapMealPlan Different

• Anti-complexity by design: No overwhelming features, no complex AI prompts, no decision paralysis. Simple daily use, powerful when you need it.
• Your workflow, your choice: Quick component-based planning for busy nights. Full recipe management when you want detail. Screenshot import for Instagram recipes. Whatever works for you.
• 30 seconds, not 30 minutes: Hit shuffle and you're done. Or manually pick components. Or add a full recipe. No browsing hundreds of options or filling out AI questionnaires.
• Screenshot-first approach: Most recipe apps require URLs or manual entry. SnapMealPlan was built specifically for the screenshot workflow that modern home cooks actually use.
• Built by a parent: Created by a dad of three who was drowning in recipe screenshots and meal planning apps that felt like second jobs. Solves real problems, not theoretical ones.
• Your data is yours: Export your entire recipe library anytime. Full GDPR compliance with data portability.

Your Data Is Yours

We believe your recipes belong to you, not us. SnapMealPlan offers:

• Full recipe export: Download all your recipes anytime in standard formats
• Complete data export: GDPR-compliant export of all your data (recipes, meal plans, shopping lists, preferences)
• Account deletion: Delete your account and all associated data at any time
• No lock-in: Cancel anytime and take your recipes with you

What We Don't Do (Intentionally)

• No complex AI workflows: If you want detailed AI prompts and algorithmic meal generation, we're not for you. Try Eat This Much or other AI-heavy tools instead.
• No nutritional tracking: We focus on meal planning simplicity, not calorie counting. Use MyFitnessPal or Cronometer for nutrition.
• No built-in recipe database: You bring your own recipes (via screenshots or manual entry). We don't force you into our recipe ecosystem.
• No overwhelming features: We cut features that add complexity without real value. Simple daily use is the goal.
