💡 My Next Meal answers the important question of ‘What should I cook today?‘ - It generates a Meal Schedule for you based on the meals entered - Provides an option to download the generated Schedule as acsv - Adds Calendar events according to the Schedule.
My Next Meal app idea came from a personal pain point.
Every Saturday I would go grocery shopping, and pick up more or less the familiar set of vegetables & fish.
Then, based on what I got, I would create a meal schedule for the week. I would write the days of the week as the header and then think & write down the meal for each day.
I tried different approaches – writing down, using Evernote, Notion.. etc. All this felt so tedious. Even though in hindsight it feels like a simple task, it took a lot of time for me to do. It took a lot of my thinking energy.
All I wanted was a Meal Schedule based on familiar ingredients & known recipes. I knew I would not always follow the schedule to the T, but at least I wanted to have an idea of what's there and what I can make. It felt like I could solve this problem by using an algorithm of picking up a random meal from the meal list. And I thought why not try this as an app. 💡
That being the gist, I learned SwiftUI and created the app called – ‘My Next Meal’ 🥳
My Next Meal has a simple, clean interface with iCloud sync. And, its whole purpose is to help you answer this question – ‘What should I cook today?‘
