CookCal

CookCal is a mobile + web app that turns your weekly calendar into a realistic home-cooking plan. Instead of asking what you “want” to cook, it asks what time and energy you’ll actually have each day, then suggests recipes that match that constraint (15-minute, one-pan, make-ahead, or “no-cook”). It generates a grocery list that’s grouped by store section and supports quick swaps when plans change. The app also includes a simple “friction score” for each recipe (prep steps, cleanup, active time) so you stop choosing meals that look good but never happen. This is a combination traditional + AI app: AI helps map recipes to your constraints and learns your household patterns, but the core value is the scheduling workflow and fast replanning.
