About PlateParrot

PlateParrot is an app for iOS and Android that automatically converts recipes into a shared shopping list with aggregated ingredients. Our goal is to speed up grocery shopping and reduce food waste.

One line per ingredient, not three

The app automatically combines identical ingredients and eliminates duplicates. If three separate recipes call for onions, PlateParrot merges them into a single entry showing the exact total amount required.

Simply type a line like “1 big onion, 2 apples, 3 cucumbers” and the smart input system instantly identifies the amounts and units. It automatically separates everything into distinct items on your list with no forms or tedious fields required.

Your recipes in one place

Manage everything you cook from one beautiful dashboard. Group your recipes into custom folders like Quick and Easy or Weekend Cooking, and add tags so the perfect dish is always just a tap away. Mark your absolute favorites and find any meal in seconds using the instant search feature.

Add an entire recipe to your grocery list with a single tap. You can adjust the servings on the fly because every single quantity scales automatically. Plan a full week of meals effortlessly and watch your shopping list build itself.

Shop the way the store is laid out

Shop efficiently instead of walking back and forth. PlateParrot groups your items by section, including Produce, Deli Counter, as well as Milk and Eggs. The list matches the way you naturally move through the store, leading to less aimless wandering and a much faster checkout.

Cooking is for sharing

Great food is meant for sharing. Send your best dishes to friends and family instantly. They receive a complete recipe with ingredients, servings, and timing, completely ready for them to cook and add to their own personal list.
