Coming to iOS — early 2026

Stop ordering.
Save thousands.

COOKED is the iOS app that makes cooking the default again. Streak counter, copycat recipes for the items you'd order on DoorDash, smart-order backstop when you really don't have 15 minutes. Built for people tired of feeling broke.

No spam. We email you once when COOKED hits the App Store. That's it.

What COOKED users typically keep their first year. Different rent, different vacation, different account.
How it works

Three things, no gimmicks.

Not a recipe app. Not a habit tracker. Not meditation. A streak counter, a craving interrogator, and a copycat recipe vault for the exact items you'd otherwise order.

01 — STREAK

Every day you don't order, the number goes up.

Live counter. Day 1 starts the second you sign up. Day 30 is the real test. Day 180 is when you've become someone different. The savings compound in real time as you log cooks.

02 — RECIPES

Copycat versions of what you'd actually order.

Big Mac. Crunchwrap. Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Orange Chicken. 99 recipes from 10 chains. All under 30 minutes. All under $8 to make at home. Plus AI generation for whatever isn't in the library.

03 — BACKSTOP

If you really don't have 15 minutes, order smart.

We tell you exactly what to order from a real chain that does less damage. Specific item, specific modifications, real cost, real calorie delta vs what you originally wanted. Better than rage-ordering.

The flow

Open the app instead of the delivery app.

1

Hit the craving button.

Big red button. We ask why you actually want to order. Hungry, bored, tired, just habit. Tell the truth.

2

See the cost.

Food + fees + tip = $32. Streak = gone. Days further from your goal = 4. We show the real number before you tap order.

3

Cook the craving instead.

Get the home recipe of what you wanted. 12-minute Big Mac. 15-minute Crunchwrap. Tastes the same, costs $4, savings counter goes up.

What you get

Everything that makes cooking stick.

Live savings counter

Real delta between cooking at home and what delivery would have cost. Watch a year compound into rent money.

99 copycat recipes

Top 10 chains × top 10 items. McDonald's, Chipotle, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Chick-fil-A, Subway, Domino's, Popeyes, Panda Express, Burger King.

AI craving generator

Anything not in the library, type the craving — we generate a 30-min, $8 home version on the spot.

Smart-order backstop

Real menu item from a real chain that does less damage. Specific item, specific modifications.

Daily check-in

Two minutes. Did you order? Sleep, energy, intensity. Tomorrow's nudge gets sharper.

Adaptive notifications

One push a day, timed to your usual ordering window. Copy adapts to whatever you were craving hardest yesterday.

Milestone celebrations

Day 30, 60, 90, 180, 365. Earned, not generous. Share cards optional.

Anonymous community

How many people held the line today. Average streak. Total kept out of delivery apps. No usernames, no leaderboard.

iOS Screen Time blocking SOON

Friction layer for the delivery apps you keep opening. Soft warning, conscious override, or full block — your call.

FAQ

Honest answers.

Is this a diet app?

No. COOKED is a money and habits app. We don't track calories, prescribe diets, or moralize about what you eat. The only number that matters is what you keep in your account by cooking instead of ordering. If you have an eating disorder, please talk to a licensed professional — we are not that.

What if I genuinely can't cook?

Every recipe is under 30 minutes and uses ingredients you can buy at any grocery store. The fastest is 8 minutes. If you can boil water and use a pan, you're fine. The "smart-order backstop" exists for nights you really don't have time — we tell you what to order that's better than rage-ordering.

How does the savings counter work?

Every cook you log adds (delivery cost − home cost) to your running total. Big Mac home is ~$4.50, delivered is ~$16, so each Big Mac you cook adds $11.50 to your saved column. Numbers are conservative — we'd rather underpromise.

What about the streak — does it punish me if I order?

It resets, but the goal isn't perfection — it's pulling the lever fewer times this year than last year. We have a "warm recovery" flow if you order. The number resets, the savings stay.

Will it work without internet?

Browsing the recipe library, the streak counter, and the daily check-in all work offline. AI craving generation needs a connection.

Privacy?

We sell nothing, share nothing, target nothing. Email + your activity stay in our database. AI craving prompts go to Anthropic server-side — no name, no email attached. Read the full Privacy Policy.

When does it launch?

Early 2026, on iOS first. Sign up on the form at the top — we email you once when it's live. No newsletter, no drip campaign.

The version of you who orders nightly is shrinking.

Sign up. We'll email you once at launch. That's it.
