Just Add builds dinner around the food you already have

Shipaton's Nutrition & Healthy Eating brief came from a registered dietitian: start with what someone already wants to eat and suggest useful additions, such as protein, fiber or healthy fat, with no calorie counting and no rigid meal plans.

Most food apps are trackers. They count, score and log, which wears people out. The people this app is for are done being tracked, and some have a hard relationship with food. One wrong answer breaks trust or does harm: a number, a "cut back", an allergen.

Real dinners are also shared. The person cooking usually carries everyone's allergies and diets in their head. And Shipaton required a brand-new app, released publicly between 1 August and 30 September 2026.

We turned the brief into hard product rules: only ever add food, never show a number, treat allergens as absolute, and point to real support when someone seems to be struggling.

Then we made the rules structural. Every request passes a distress check before any food is generated. One model call writes three meals. A plain code check, with no AI in it, reads every answer for allergens, diet-culture language, health claims and numbers. A failing answer is regenerated once, then withheld. A failing test for any rule stops a release.

Three options instead of one keep the decision with the person. Every change they ask for is a new plate, checked from scratch. The free plan includes three plates a day, and the paid line follows model cost.
