The Story Behind PlanPlate

Hey, I'm Matthias, and I created PlanPlate out of pure desperation.

As a single dad to three kids, my evenings were chaos. I'd be scrolling Instagram at midnight, saving healthy recipes I genuinely wanted to cook for my family. But when 5 PM hit and three hungry kids were asking "what's for dinner?", those recipes might as well have been on another planet.

My camera roll was a graveyard of screenshots. My Instagram saved folder had hundreds of recipes I'd never make. And when I tried to cook from a video? I'd pause it every ten seconds with messy hands, losing my place, getting frustrated.

I built PlanPlate because I was tired of saving recipes I'd never cook.

Here's what I want for you: No more guilt about all those saved recipes you never cook. No more 5 PM panic. No more touching your phone with flour-covered hands. Import any recipe in seconds and actually cook it—hands-free, step by step.

I wanted dinner to stop being stressful. I think a lot of people feel the same way.

That's why PlanPlate exists.
