CLUSTER MEAL-PLANS-GENERATES · 43 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2018-12-08
Meal planning with grocery lists
This cluster consists of apps that plan weekly meals, suggest recipes from ingredients or preferences, track nutrition, and auto-generate shopping lists, often aisle-organized or connected to grocery delivery. Timeline entries appear intermittently from April 2013 through July 2026, with a slight concentration in 2023 and early 2026, but no clear overall pattern. Traction leaders measured by activity are pantry-pilot, Appetizer-, and MealTap: Smart Meal Planner, each with zero stars, indicating minimal observed engagement.
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.
