— Features

Built for the whole path from recipe idea to dinner.

A connected workflow for saving recipes, planning the week, building grocery lists, and staying focused when it is time to cook.

— Core workflow

The features that make ChefDeck useful every single week.

Instead of stacking disconnected tools, each part of ChefDeck supports the next part of the cooking workflow.

Recipes

Your own cooking library, not a pile of bookmarks and screenshots.

Keep a recipe library you will actually come back to.

Create recipes from scratch, save favorites, and keep refining them over time so planning dinner gets easier instead of more repetitive.

Recipe creation

Create your own recipes from scratch and keep updating them as you cook them again.

Recipe import

Paid

Bring recipes in from a URL, pasted text, or a photo when you want to save something fast.

AI editing and simplification

Paid

Use AI to clean up recipe structure, simplify instructions, and make saved recipes easier to use.

Meal Planning

A weekly plan that stays structured without feeling rigid.

Lay out the week in a way that matches real life.

Plan meals by day, adjust servings, account for leftovers, and keep the whole week visible without turning meal planning into a second job.

Day-by-day planning

Map out dinners, lunches, and leftovers across the week so the whole plan stays visible.

Servings and leftovers

Adjust serving counts and keep leftover meals in the plan without rebuilding everything.

AI meal planning help

Paid

Use AI-assisted planning when you want help building a week faster with less manual setup.

Grocery Lists

Lists that work from the plan or stand on their own.

Build grocery lists the easy way, not just the automatic way.

ChefDeck can generate lists from the meals you planned, but it also works when you just want to add items manually and keep a clean, practical list for the store.

List generation from meals

Pull ingredients from your planned meals so the list reflects what you are actually making.

Manual list building

Add your own grocery items anytime when you need a standalone list that has nothing to do with recipes.

Shopping mode and export

Mixed

Use categories and shopping mode in the store, then export or share lists when you need something outside the app.

AI list cleanup

Paid

One tap merges duplicates, combines quantities, and fixes categories so your list reads cleanly before you shop.

AI price estimates

Paid

Get a ballpark cost range for a grocery trip tuned to your ZIP and preferred store. See per-item estimates, override any price manually, and your prices are remembered across future lists.

Cook Mode

A calmer handoff from planning into cooking.

Stay in the recipe when dinner is actually happening.

Cook mode keeps the recipe centered and easier to follow so the work you did while planning still helps you when it is time to make the meal.

Focused step-by-step cooking

Follow recipes in a cleaner cooking view built for the moment dinner is actually happening.

Recipe context stays visible

Keep the servings, recipe details, and planned context close at hand while you cook.

Better handoff from planning

Move from your weekly plan into cooking without losing the thread of what you already decided.

— Start with the core workflow
