It all started with a conversation with my friend Resat. He was working on a meal recipe app with AI-powered features. But right as he was making progress, a very similar app was released by someone else. That's when we realized — maybe the key isn't going broad. Maybe the answer is to go niche.
So we pivoted: What if we focused solely on breakfast?
Why Breakfast?
Breakfast is a highly habit-driven, deeply personal, yet often overlooked meal. People tend to repeat the same things (toast, cereal, eggs), not because they love them, but because they're rushed or uninspired. By narrowing our focus to just breakfast, we believe we can provide value through:
- Simpler, more focused user experience
- Optimized visuals and tags specifically for breakfast foods
- Smart suggestions based on pantry ingredients and morning mood
- A cozy, lightweight feel that aligns with early-day routines
Core Idea: Make Breakfast Less Boring
The MVP version revolves around a simple mechanic: Show me what I can make with what I have.
You add ingredients to your pantry, and we suggest breakfast recipes that you can make with them. If you're missing just one thing, we tell you — gently. No overwhelm, no ads, no 50-minute prep dinners. Just warm, cozy breakfast ideas.
Feedback So Far
We've tested an early prototype with friends, and the feedback has been super helpful. Here are some of the top feature requests we're working on:
- 🏷️ Icon-style labels for recipes: Vegan, Healthy, High Protein, etc.
- 🔪 Prep difficulty labels like Easy / Medium / Hard
- 🥣 Indication of whether cooking is required or not
- 🔧 Display of required equipment (e.g., blender, pan)
- 🔍 A better filtering screen on the homepage
- 🧭 More intuitive categorization and recipe flow
What's Next?
We're still brainstorming some magic features. Ideas include:
- 🌄 A couple of quick visual questions each morning to guide your breakfast choice — mood-based suggestions.
- 🤖 Smarter pantry integration using AI to match recipes even with partial ingredients and substitutes.
- 🎯 Simple gamification like streaks, favorites, or daily "spin the wheel" style inspiration.
We don't want to become another bloated food app. We want to be the one you tap when you're in bed thinking "Ugh, what should I eat this morning?"
We kept it simple and cheerful. Just like your favorite breakfast.
If you've ever opened your fridge and thought "meh"...
This app's for you.
