How it works

A realistic preview of how this feature feels day-to-day.

Visual weekly meal planner

Drag and drop meals onto a weekly calendar. Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for each day. Swap meals between days with a tap. Copy successful weeks to future weeks. See the whole week at a glance on your phone or kitchen tablet.

Family recipe library

Import recipes from any website URL, upload photos of handwritten recipe cards, or type in family favorites. HuniDu extracts ingredients, prep time, and instructions automatically. Tag recipes by dietary needs, cuisine type, or family favorites.

AI meal suggestions

Get personalized dinner ideas based on your family's preferences, dietary restrictions, budget, and how much time you have. HuniDu learns what your family likes and suggests meals you'll actually make.

Automatic grocery lists

Every meal you plan automatically adds its ingredients to your grocery list. Ingredients are organized by category and combined (if you need chicken for two meals, it adds the total amount once). One-tap meal planning to shopping.

Cook rotation & assignments

Assign who's cooking each meal. Set up automatic rotation schedules so dinner duty is fair. Kids can see when it's their turn to help. Everyone knows who's responsible before 5pm panic sets in.

Prep time & difficulty ratings

Every recipe shows estimated prep time and difficulty level. Filter recipes by 'quick weeknight meals' or 'weekend projects.' Plan easy meals for busy days and save ambitious cooking for when you have time.

The AI meal planner saved us $340 in our first month by reducing food waste and duplicate grocery purchases. It remembers my daughter's nut allergy and my husband's vegetarian preferences.
