How do I use the AI Recipe Assistant?

The AI Recipe Assistant is available on iOS 26.0+ with Apple Intelligence enabled. In the Recipes tab, tap the floating "+" button to see two options:

• Generate Recipe with AI: Describe what you want to cook (e.g., "a healthy pasta dish with vegetables"), and Apple Intelligence will create a complete recipe with ingredients, quantities adjusted for your measurement system, and step-by-step instructions.
• Convert Recipe: Paste any recipe text from a website, cookbook, or message, and Apple Intelligence will automatically structure it with categorized ingredients and organized steps.

Both modes adapt to your language and local measurement system. You can review and edit the generated recipe before saving it.

How do I create a recipe manually?

Navigate to the Recipes tab and tap the "+" button (or "Add recipe" if AI is available). Fill in the recipe details including ingredients, preparation steps, cooking time, and servings. You can also add tags to organize your recipes.

How do I plan meals?

Go to the Meal Planner tab to see your calendar. Tap on any date to add a meal. You can select one or more recipes, specify the meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack), and set the number of people.

How does the shopping list work?

The shopping list is automatically generated from your planned meals. All ingredients from your meal plans are combined and organized by category. You can check off items as you shop, and the app remembers what you've bought.

Can I use PlanEat on my Apple Watch?

Yes! PlanEat includes a companion app for Apple Watch. You can view your shopping list and check off items directly from your wrist while shopping.

How do I sync my data across devices?

PlanEat uses iCloud to automatically sync your recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists across all your iOS devices. Make sure you're signed in to the same iCloud account on all devices and have iCloud enabled for PlanEat in your device settings.

How do I share recipes?

Open any recipe and tap the share button. You can export the recipe as a .planEat file and share it via Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or any other sharing method. Recipients can import the recipe directly into their PlanEat app.

What are Pro features?

PlanEat offers additional Pro features for enhanced meal planning and organization. Check the app for current Pro feature availability and early access opportunities.

Is my data private?

Absolutely! All your data is stored locally on your device and in your personal iCloud account. We never collect, access, or share your personal information. Read our Privacy Policy for more details.

How do I delete my data?

You can delete individual recipes, meals, or ingredients within the app at any time. To delete all local data, simply delete the app from your device. To remove iCloud data, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > PlanEat and delete the data.
