About MealWise
MealWise is an iOS recipe application that converts a single natural-language description of a meal into a structured recipe with ingredients, portions, cooking steps and estimated costs. Users can describe what they want to cook, specify constraints such as budget, servings, dietary preferences, timing or ingredients, and MealWise returns one practical recipe. Recipes are saved locally by default and can optionally be synced across devices via a paid Pro feature. The app supports text and voice input in multiple languages and provides clear cooking steps along with helpful tips. It emphasizes budget awareness by showing estimated ingredient and per-person costs before shopping. MealWise is designed to reduce friction in meal planning by avoiding ad-filled recipe pages and complicated forms, focusing instead on a calm, privacy-respecting experience.
