Cooking and meal-planning web app

Cookr

Early-stage mobile-first cooking assistant for New Zealand users, focused on practical meal ideas, planning support and an easier alternative to takeaway defaults.

Cookr website setup screen for selecting cooking confidence, constraints, styles, budget, time and dietary needs

Project context

Cookr explores a mobile-first cooking and meal-planning flow for everyday decisions: what to cook, how much time it needs and what fits the budget.

The prototype brings cooking confidence, available time, dietary needs and ingredient preferences into the setup flow.

The design focuses on recipe selection, planning, substitutions and cost awareness in a small-screen interface.

What this project demonstrates

Mobile-first product thinking

Shows a practical consumer workflow shaped around quick meal decisions, small screens and low-friction planning.

Interface and flow design

Explores a short setup flow and a readable mobile interface for everyday meal decisions.

Evidence-linked project note

Connects the main John Finnerty case study, this finnerty.me project note, screenshot evidence and an owned source archive.

Evidence and current limits

Status: Early-stage cooking and meal-planning prototype. The screenshots and source archive document the work so far; it is not a mature public service.

The case study explains the design choices in more detail, and the source archive preserves a snapshot of the project.
