CLUSTER GENERATES-MEAL-WEEKLY · 68 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-06-12
Weekly meal planning apps
This cluster consists of 52 meal-planning applications that generate weekly menus and grocery lists for households, with features spanning budget constraints, dietary preferences, pantry inventory, and recipe libraries. Pre-index dated history shows sporadic entries from June 2015 through early 2025, then a gradually higher monthly cadence starting mid-2025, peaking in May and June 2026. Traction is led by whatsfordinner, followed by MealCraft and Prepflow.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
