Mealbench helps home cooks collect recipes and turn them into a weekly cooking plan. Users can create recipes with photos and directions, group them into collections, and share individual recipes by link. A week calendar supports meals from breakfast through dessert, while a combined shopping list can gather ingredients from recipes and send items to Apple Reminders. Cook Mode presents one step at a time, keeps the screen awake, scales servings, and supports kitchen timers. The listing says the first 20 recipes are free; a one-time purchase on iPhone and iPad unlocks adding more and editing every recipe. The Mac app requires a separate purchase, while planning and grocery features remain free.
