It supports 17+ diet presets, including GLP-1 and diabetes-friendly, and lets a household plan meals together with a shared shopping list and "hybrid" dish modes where parents and kids get different variants of the same meal. An in-app AI chatbot accepts photo, voice, or text input for nutrition questions. Free tier covers 2-day plans for one person paid plans start at $4/month for a single user.
