PlateMyDayEvery Feature Built Around
Your Pantry
PlateMyDay is a pantry-first meal planner and food waste reduction app. Unlike recipe apps that generate a shopping list, PlateMyDay starts with what you already have and builds the entire week around it.

Pantry Ingredient Tracking
Add every ingredient you have — fridge, freezer, cupboard — and PlateMyDay builds your meal plan around them. No more buying ingredients you already own or throwing away produce that never made it into a recipe.
weekly meal plan generator
AI-Powered 7-Day Meal Plan Generation
PlateMyDay generates a complete week of meals — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — tailored to your pantry and dietary preferences. Powered by Google Gemini, every plan is unique and uses up what you have before it spoils.
ingredient based cooking app
Smart Gap-Fill Shopping List
Your shopping list is calculated automatically — it covers only what your meal plan needs that isn't already in your pantry. You buy less, waste less, and never come home with duplicate groceries again.
recipe generator from ingredients
Recipe Library
Every generated recipe is saved to your personal recipe library. Browse, search, and reuse your favourites. Add recipes manually, or generate new ones from specific ingredients whenever you want a quick idea.
food waste reduction app
Food Waste Reduction by Design
PlateMyDay is architected around one goal: getting every ingredient you buy into a meal. The plan prioritises items nearing expiry, uses ingredients across multiple meals in the same week, and generates a shopping list that fills gaps rather than starting from scratch.
personalised meal planner
Dietary Preferences & Customisation
Set your dietary requirements once and every generated plan will respect them. Whether you're vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, or following a specific cuisine style, PlateMyDay generates meals that fit your household.
weekly meal planning app
Meal Plan History
Every meal plan you generate is saved to your history. Browse and restore previous weeks, see which plans you've used most, and use past plans as a starting point when your pantry looks similar.
meal planning app mobile
Mobile App — Works on Any Device
PlateMyDay is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — install it to your home screen on iOS or Android for a native app experience. Works offline for browsing your saved recipes and meal plan.
How PlateMyDay Compares
Most meal planners don't know what's in your kitchen. PlateMyDay does — and it's the only one designed specifically to reduce food waste.
