I wanted a simple meal planner. For $2 in Claude credits I have one running on my Kubernetes cluster now. Isn't that crazy? Instead
of paying $10 a month for ads, constant useless updates, creepy tracking, dark patterns, and constant up selling, I have the exact
app I want that won't get rug pulled form under me.
Features

AI recipe generation — describe a dish and Claude writes a full recipe with a lazy shortcut version and a from-scratch version, ingredient list, step-by-step instructions, and storage notes
Weekly planner — drag recipes onto any day of the week; navigate backward and forward across weeks
Day view — see today's recipe at a glance with quick prev/next navigation
Pantry tracking — list ingredients you have on hand so the AI can work them into suggestions
Configurable AI prompt — tune the assistant's cooking style and dietary focus
Export / import — zip backup of all recipes, plans, and images
