CLUSTER RECIPE-LISTS-MANAGER · 27 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-03-30
Recipe and meal planning apps
This cluster consists of recipe management and meal planning apps that focus on saving recipes from web, social media, and photos, organizing them, generating shopping lists, and offering features like scaling, timers, and AI assistance. The dated history shows isolated entries in 2008 and 2012, a long gap until 2021, and then a gradual increase in frequency from 2025 through mid-2026. The traction leaders—Stravnyk - Recipe Manager, CuadernoCulinario, and openCook—each have zero stars, indicating negligible user traction so far.
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.
