Built by a parent, for parents

Name: PlanPlate
Author: PlanPlate

Hey, I'm Matthias, and I created PlanPlate out of pure desperation.

As a single dad to three kids, my evenings were chaos. I'd be scrolling Instagram at midnight, saving healthy recipes I genuinely wanted to cook for my family. But when 5 pm hit and three hungry kids were asking "what's for dinner?", those recipes might as well have been on another planet.

I tried to fix it myself, more than once. First it was just saving photos of recipes. Then I built a library in Apple Notes. Early on I even gave Notion a shot. None of it stuck. And when I did try to cook straight from a video? I'd be pausing it every ten seconds with messy hands, losing my place, getting frustrated.

I built PlanPlate because I was tired of saving recipes I'd never cook.

Here's what I want for you:

No more guilt about saved recipes.

No more 5 pm panic.

No more flour-covered hands on your phone.

Import any recipe in seconds and actually cook it, hands-free, step by step.

I wanted dinner to stop being stressful. I think a lot of people feel the same way. That's why PlanPlate exists.
