Meal planning that actually works.
Yummly shut down. PlateJoy is gone. The rest want your data and $10–$20/month. Stock plans your meals, auto-generates your grocery list, knows what's in your pantry — and never asks for an account.
Meal planning apps either died, got too expensive, or require you to hand over your dietary data to the cloud. What's left is broken:
Yummly shut down December 2024. PlateJoy died mid-2025. Millions of users left with no home for their saved recipes and meal plans.
No affordable app checks your pantry before generating a shopping list. You buy a second jar of cumin every. single. time.
Eat This Much costs $120/year. AI newcomers charge $10–20/month. For what's essentially a recipe picker with a calendar.
Mealime only handles servings in increments of 2. Cooking for 1 person? 3? 7 for a dinner party? Too bad.
Plan meals → generate grocery list → pantry items auto-excluded → shop and check off → move checked items to pantry in one tap → next week's list already knows what you have. The loop that eliminates duplicates forever.
Only in StockWhen pantry items approach expiration, Stock surfaces recipes from your box that use those ingredients. Cook from what you have, not what you want. Reduce waste. Save money.
Only in StockTwo recipes need chicken breast at different serving sizes? Stock combines them into one line item with the correct total. Ingredients are grouped by grocery aisle for efficient shopping.
Change servings on any recipe from 1 to 12 and every ingredient adjusts proportionally. The grocery list recalculates automatically. Cook for one tonight, six on Saturday.
Full-screen, one step at a time, swipe to advance, screen stays on. Built-in timers on steps that mention time. No more flour-covered phones trying to scroll a recipe page.
Tap one button and Stock fills your empty dinner slots with recipes from your box — no repeats within a week, respects your dietary preferences. Decide in seconds, not hours.
