Free tier available · No credit card required · iOS only
Everything You Need
PlateCraft ties together every part of dinner time — from finding a recipe to checking out at the store.
Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks across the week. Mark eating-out days, schedule leftovers, and add notes for busy evenings like sports practice or travel.
Store all your family favorites in one place. Search and filter by dietary tag, prep time, difficulty, one-pot meals, or kid-friendly flag — find exactly what you need, fast.
Snap a photo of a cookbook page, handwritten card, or screenshot. PlateCraft uses Claude Vision AI to extract every ingredient and step instantly — no typing required.
Paste any recipe blog URL and PlateCraft automatically pulls the title, ingredients, and instructions. Handles structured data (Schema.org) and uses AI as a fallback for tricky sites.
Know exactly what you have. Organize items by fridge, freezer, pantry, or counter. Mark pantry staples so you never forget to restock essentials.
Generate a shopping list from your week's meals in one tap. PlateCraft checks your pantry first and only lists ingredients you actually need, grouped by store section.
Check off an item on your shopping list and PlateCraft asks where to put it. Ground beef? Fridge. Pasta? Pantry. Your inventory stays up to date effortlessly.
Invite up to 8 family members to share a single household. Everyone sees the same recipes, calendar, pantry, and shopping list — always in sync across all devices.
Changes appear instantly on every device. Add a meal from your phone and it shows up on your partner's tablet before they even refresh the screen.
Print a formatted weekly meal plan, any recipe, or your shopping list. Great for pinning to the fridge or handing off to someone else doing the cooking.
Share recipes via SMS as a readable link — no app required to view it. Or share directly to other PlateCraft users who can save it to their own library.
Full system, light, and dark theme support. Export all your data at any time in JSON or CSV format — your recipes always belong to you.
Powered by AI
PlateCraft uses AI to read recipes the same way you do — and turns them into searchable, editable, cookable cards.

FAQ
Your data is never deleted. If you downgrade to the free tier, you can still view and edit all existing recipes. You just won't be able to add new ones until you're back under the 25-recipe limit. Everything stays safe and readable.
Photo import uses AI vision technology (via a secure cloud function). You take a photo of any recipe — a cookbook page, handwritten card, or screenshot — and it extracts the title, ingredients, and step-by-step instructions into a structured recipe card. Blog import fetches the page and parses structured data (Schema.org) first, then falls back to AI for sites that don't have it.
