Frequently asked questions

How does MenuPath generate my meal plan?

MenuPath uses the Spoonacular recipe database (500,000+ recipes) and your preferences — household size, diet style, cooking time, and nights you eat out — to build a personalized Mon–Sun plan. You can swap any meal with a single tap.

Is MenuPath free?

Yes, MenuPath is free to download and use. Some features may require a subscription in a future update — if so, we'll give plenty of notice.

How does the Instacart integration work?

When you tap "Order on Instacart" from your grocery list, MenuPath hands off your ingredient list to the Instacart app or website with your cart pre-populated. You'll then choose a store and checkout in Instacart. MenuPath does not process any payments.

Can I set dietary restrictions?

Yes. During onboarding (and in Settings), you can choose from: Standard, Vegetarian, Vegan, Low-carb, and High-protein. You can also enter specific ingredients you dislike to exclude them from recipes.

What does "nights out" mean?

During onboarding you can set how many nights per week you typically eat out or order in. MenuPath automatically marks those days as "Dining Out" in your plan so you don't get ingredients for meals you won't cook.

How do I mark items I already have?

In the Grocery List screen, each ingredient has a "Have?" button. Tap it to mark the item as already owned — it gets crossed out and excluded from the total count.

The app crashed or something isn't working

Try force-closing and reopening the app first. If the issue persists, delete and reinstall MenuPath from the App Store. If you're still having trouble, email us at jwilcox06492@gmail.com with a description of what happened and your iOS version.

How do I change my preferences after onboarding?

Tap the settings icon on the Plan screen to update your household size, diet style, cooking time, or nights out. Your plan will regenerate with the new settings.

Does MenuPath work offline?

Your saved meal plan and grocery list are available offline. Generating a new plan or searching for recipes requires an internet connection.

How do I delete my data?

All your data is stored locally on your device. To delete it, simply delete the MenuPath app from your iPhone. There is no account to delete since we don't store data on our servers.
