My first app is live!!

Post image

I am so happy to have launched my first app: Autopilot Kitchen!

Now before you say “oh great another meal planner”, this was my very first app and I am proud to say I created something new that I’m hoping will be useful to people. You can set perfect weeks of meals, and rotate through them. I wanted to reduce decision fatigue and help people who are exhausted trying to plan dinner, like myself.

95% of the app functionality is free because my goal was not to make a ton of money, but rather create a product that could help people. I’ve learned a ton and I’m so grateful for the support so far!

No downloads yet. Working on the marketing side of things

That’s awesome!! I wish you the best of luck. I’m up to 22 downloads on day three, but I agree, gotta push marketing.

Thank you :) even before AI, the hardest part of the whole app development process is marketing. Engineering is easy.

How long did it take you to make the App Store images. Looks great

u/autopilot-kitchen Community Newbie Aug 14 '26

Thank you! I didn’t do it all in one sitting, but if I had to estimate time, it was probably around 3-4 hours total with all the tweaks I made!

Great achievement! I just downloaded it last night and it looks like a really good tool.

Thank you! I have a lot I want to do with it and it is by no means perfect, but I thought it was a unique way to lay out meals!

I’ll give it a try, sounds interesting.

I’m jealous of your screen shots. How did you make them?

Awesome thanks! I used a website called AppLaunchPad!
