    One record of what your household eats

    The Meal Plan Vault keeps a household’s recipes, this week’s meal plan, and the grocery list in one place that everyone can open, and that an AI assistant can read and update when you ask it to.

    Why we built this

    Most meal planning apps assume one cook working alone, with recipes in one app, the plan on a calendar, and the list on the back of an envelope. In a real house, several people eat, a couple of them cook, and somebody has to do the shopping.

    So the whole household shares one vault. Anyone can save a recipe or request a meal. Whoever plans drags recipes onto the week, and the grocery list is built from what’s on it.

    What it does

    Recipes from anywhere
    Paste a link from a recipe site, or upload a photo of a recipe card or a screenshot, and it’s read into ingredients and steps you can edit.
    A weekly plan the household shares
    Drag recipes onto days. Members can request meals and vote on each other’s requests. Admins, editors, and viewers each get the access their role allows.
    A grocery list from the plan
    The list comes from the week’s recipes, grouped by store section, and anyone can check items off from their phone.
    Your AI assistant can use it
    A built-in MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor fill in the week, import a recipe, or build the list in your account, with your household’s permissions still applied. How to connect one.

    What we care about

    Households, not solo cooks. Real kitchens have more than one cook, picky eaters, and a shared list. Features are built for that from the start.

    Doing it by hand stays easy. An assistant can plan the week for you, but nothing you do yourself gets harder because of it.

    No streaks and no nags. No gamified meal goals. The app should get out of the way so dinner happens.

    Who makes it

    The Meal Plan Vault is built and run by Michelle, who plans her own household’s week in it.

    Questions, bugs, and feature requests go to our Featurebase, where the roadmap is public and every request gets a status.
