Everything you're wondering about Prepful.

Prepful is a free meal-planning app. Save recipes from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, any recipe website, or a photo, put them on a weekly plan, and get one shopping list for the week. It works on iPhone, Android, and the web.

Prepful is free to start. There's no trial to cancel and no card to enter: create an account, import recipes, and plan your week at no cost.

Yes, especially if you save recipes from social posts. Prepful keeps every recipe you save from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, websites, and photos in one searchable library, then adds a weekly plan and one grocery list. It's free to start.

No. Prepful at prepfulapp.com is a recipe saver and meal planning app made by Wald Ventures LLC in Seattle. It has no connection to the test prep or tutoring services that also use the name Prepful.

Paste a link from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, or any recipe blog, and Prepful pulls out the ingredients and steps automatically. You can also take or upload a photo of a recipe, such as a cookbook page, a handwritten card, or a screenshot.

Prepful is available on iOS, Android, and the web at app.prepfulapp.com.

Yes, in a few places. When you import a post, AI reads its caption and what's said in the video to pull out the ingredients and steps; recipe websites that publish a standard recipe card are read directly. AI also suggests meals for your week when you ask, and can make a photo for a recipe that has none. You stay in control: edit any recipe, swap any meal, and plan the week your way.

Recipes you import from a link or a photo are private by default. Recipes generated with Prepful's AI become part of the shared recipe library so other users can discover them too, without attribution to your account. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Delete your account any time from Settings in the app, or by emailing privacy@prepfulapp.com. Your personal information is removed immediately; any community recipes you've shared remain in anonymized form.
