Made for people who eat on purpose.
Meros exists because meal planning apps kept solving the wrong problem — planning meals for a kitchen you don't have and a person you aren't.
Most meal plans are written for a stranger.
Most diet apps hand you a meal plan for someone else: ingredients you don't own, recipes you'd never cook, a daily calorie ceiling that turns Friday into a math problem. The plan looks impressive on day one and gets quietly ignored by Thursday.
Meros starts from the other end. Scan what's actually on your shelves, set a weekly target, and the plan is built around what you already have and how you actually eat — including the nights you'd rather not cook at all.
Not a stricter app. A more honest one.
Built by one person.
Meros is built by Carter Caldwell, a solo developer. One person writes the code, answers the email, and decides what ships.
That's a feature, not an apology. There is no growth team, no engagement quotas, and nobody whose job is to keep you scrolling. A feature gets built when it makes planning a week of food better — that's the entire roadmap.
And when you write to support, the email goes to a person. The same one.
Built around Claude.
Meal plans in Meros are generated by Claude, Anthropic's AI model — chosen because its plans read like a good cook wrote them, not like a database sorted itself into dinner.
Meros is also honest about what AI can and can't do. Nutrition estimates are estimates. Restaurant macros are labeled as estimates, because that's what they are. And per the agreement with Anthropic, your prompts are not used to train their models.
The full details are in the privacy policy — written in plain English.
Four rules the app lives by.
Weekly budgets, not guilt.
A week is the honest unit of eating. One big dinner isn't a failure — it's Friday. Meros balances the rest of the week around it.
Your kitchen first.
Plans start from what you own. The pantry is the source of truth, not an afterthought — recipes fit your shelves, not the other way around.
Honest about weight loss.
A calorie deficit is arithmetic, not magic. Meros shows the trend and skips the lecture, the streak-shaming, and the miracle promises.
No engagement tricks.
No infinite feeds, no manufactured streak anxiety, no notifications designed to make you feel behind. The app's job is dinner — then getting out of your way.
