Questions.

Is there a meal planning app that doesn't shame you about calories?

Meal Curate is built to coach rather than scold. It looks at your last 7, 14 or 30 days and suggests what to do next, such as eating more, adding protein or adding fiber, instead of flagging a missed goal. You set your own goals. Nutrition tracking and coaching are part of Pro, which starts with a 30-day free trial.

Can an app give health tips based on what I actually ate?

Yes. When you mark a meal as eaten, Meal Curate uses your recent days to suggest what to adjust, instead of generic advice. Tips are general and approximate, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor or dietitian about your own needs.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the app and start. Your data stays on your device. There's no cloud login, no signup form, no email verification.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The 550 starter recipes are bundled with the app. Pantry, meal plan and shopping list are all local. Internet is only needed for optional URL recipe import, barcode lookup and recipe library updates.

What's the free tier?

Browse all 550 recipes, build a meal plan, track your pantry and use the auto-generated shopping list. You can save up to 5 of your own recipes. Pro adds nutrition tracking, pantry-aware ranking, AI meal ideas, the barcode scanner, unlimited recipes, URL import and shopping list sharing.

How is Meal Curate different from other meal planners?

It opens straight to what you can cook tonight from your own pantry, with no account to create. Its nutrition tracking coaches you on what to do next instead of flagging missed goals, and it runs on your device, including offline.

Which diets and allergens does it support?

Vegetarian, Vegan, Keto, Paleo and Low-FODMAP, plus allergen warnings for dairy, eggs, fish, gluten, nuts, seafood, shellfish and soy. For each one you can hide recipes that don't fit or keep them visible with a small badge so you can still see what matches. Nutrition and allergen information is approximate and isn't medical advice.

Where can I get it?

Meal Curate is live on the iOS App Store. Download it here.

Is there an Android version?

Meal Curate is built for iPhone. An Android version isn't planned.
