Say what’s on your plate or in the fridge. Back comes a real dinner — your food, plus the one or two things that finish it.

That’ll hold you. Go eat.
Leftovers, a tin, whatever’s in the fridge. That’s the base, and it stays on the plate.
TypeSaySnap
Photo and voice come with the full app.
One or two additions that make it hold you, each named with a word, never a number.
Three real dinners, not one verdict. Pick the one you want and cook it a step at a time.
After the answer
Hands-free cook mode, listening. Things you can say to it: “What’s the next step?”, “I’ve run out of halloumi — what else works?”, “Set a timer for ten minutes”, “How do I know when it’s done?”, “Say that again?”, “What do I need for this bit?”.
One step at a time, with the timers built in — and with the full app, when your hands are full, just talk to it.
Whatever the plate needs becomes a list in aisle order. It waits on your Lock Screen, and a tick lands even without signal.
You: At the shop — what am I here for? Just Add shopping list: Basil, Spinach, Chickpeas. Assistant: Basil, spinach and chickpeas — all for yesterday’s wrap.
Now with an MCP server
The assistant you already use can read your list and tick things off. It never makes dinner — that stays in the app.
How to connect itEvery plate you ask for is kept, newest first. Find one by anything in it, or send it to whoever’s cooking — and with no calendar, there are no gaps.
Just you, or the whole table
You tell it once what you can’t eat. Everyone else brings their own. Nobody has to remember anybody’s — the plate does.

Just you tonight.
House rules
Cook for a table and every plate is built around all of it.
Cooking for a groupA love steers the plate. It never outranks an allergy.
Each change is a whole new plate, checked again — and you can always go back.
How refining a plate worksNot promises in a manifesto: the first four are enforced in code, and a failing test for any of them stops a release. The last three are how you can tell.
Enforced in the code
Subtraction was never built — ask it to make a meal smaller and it offers to make it more filling instead.
No calories, no macros, no score, no day you can fail — the only amounts are in a recipe, and they are cooking instructions.
Not a preference or a judgement call: anything you cannot eat is filtered out before a suggestion is written, and checked again on the way back. Watch it hold at the table
If what you type suggests you are struggling, it stops being a food app — a warm message and real support come back before a word about food is written.
Just Add is a meal builder, not a clinician. No diagnoses, no meal plans, no treatment claims — and never a word about your weight.
How you can check
Every answer is re-read for your allergens and for words we don’t allow, and one that fails is thrown away rather than tidied up.
Protein and fibre are judged by the thresholds printed on food packaging, corrected for digestibility — and never shown to you as a figure.
Photos are never saved, and a spoken ask becomes text on your phone — except hands-free cooking, which is off until you switch it on.
Nobody is ever locked out of working out what to have tonight. What a subscription buys is convenience and memory — never access to a decent dinner.

Everything above, plus
The line is simply whether something costs a model call. Cook mode, the cookbook, your tables, sharing and every recipe are free at every tier — for good, not until we change our minds.
Mostly variations on one question: is this going to be like the last one?
No, and it structurally cannot become one. There is nothing to log, no total that grows, and no day you can miss. You ask a question when you have one; the app answers it and gets out of the way.
It cannot. The system only ever proposes adding — there is no code path for removal, reduction, portion shrinking, or swapping something for a version the app prefers. That is both the method and a safety property, and it has tests.
You tell us once during a short, taste-first setup. From then on anything you cannot eat is filtered out of the candidate list before a suggestion is generated, and checked again on the way out. Never a weight, never a preference.
As often as you like. Picking a different option costs nothing — everything you were offered was written and checked together — and for anything the buttons cannot say you can just say it: “something crunchy on top”, “I've run out of feta”. Every version is kept and named by what changed, and going back to an older one is a move rather than a rollback, so nothing you liked is destroyed.
Yes — that is what a table is. Add the people you feed, and every plate you ask for is built around all of them at once. Allergies are the union of the whole table and are absolute; a vegetarian at the table makes the plate vegetarian. Only tastes are averaged. Constraints are read live from each person's own settings, so someone adding an allergy tonight makes tonight's dinner safe without anyone editing the table.
It goes straight to the vision model and is dropped. No bucket, no disk, no history — only the list of foods it read is kept. That is the honest privacy stance for people leaving food surveillance, and it happens to be the faster path too.
A real daily allowance of meals is free forever — typed, in every situation. A subscription adds far more of them, a photo or your voice as a way in, and asking for a change. Your cookbook, cook mode and tables are free either way. Convenience is what is paid for, never access to a decent dinner.
Each one is the pasta you already have, plus the one or two things that finish it. Say what’s there — the app does the rest.
Free every day. No card, nothing to log.
