This App Makes Meal Planning Smarter: Here’s Where to Get It

It’s available on the Apple Store.

Meal planning has long been a chore. Between juggling busy schedules and the mental load of figuring out what to cook, it’s easy to let things slip. But now, Cook Smarts has created a new app that’s about to change the game. 

The company launched its Cook Smarts app, designed to “make meal planning smarter” with hundreds of pre-made, customizable meal plans to help reduce waste and save money.

With over ten years of helping families cook at home, Founder Jess Dang claimed that they have a “deep understanding of how to support busy home cooks.” 

Every week, app users get meal plans on Thursdays, including gluten-free, paleo, and vegetarian options. It also has a recipe library with filters to help find meals based on preferences.

To minimize waste, the Cook Smarts app promotes efficient ingredient use and provides leftover and freezing tips. It also creates grocery lists organized by store sections for easy shopping.

Early users have already shared their excitement about the app, with one saying, “Cook Smarts is a life changer!”

One working mother said, “What sets Cook Smarts apart is their thoughtfully written recipes that manage to be both approachable and diverse.”

Another user added, “I love the ability to select the method of prep for some meals (grill vs. oven or Instapot vs. not).”

The app is available on the App Store and works with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision. It’s free to download, with optional in-app purchases.
