Notice, decide, plan, cook.
Kale Diary helps repeated meals and routines become visible. Kale AI then turns the patterns you choose into realistic meals, adapted recipes, shopping lists, and guided Cook Mode steps.
Starting from a blank page creates too many choices.
Food patterns give the plan a starting point.
A diary without a planning handoff can stall.
Kale AI turns chosen observations into dinner defaults.
Patterns need interpretation, not judgement.
You decide what to keep, vary, or avoid repeating.
Find the pattern first. Then plan from the defaults you choose.
Kale Diary is a free companion tool — log what you ate, note how the day felt, and let repeated meals and ingredients become easier to see. No barcodes. No database. As fast as a text message.
After a few days, Kale Diary can help you spot repeated meals, ingredients, sauces, grocery habits, and dinner routines that keep showing up in your notes.
Once you know what you want your kitchen profile to remember, Kale AI turns those preferences into meals, swaps, groceries, and cooking steps.
Kale Diary → notice patterns. Kale AI → plan and cook around them.
