ChopYum brings together everything a home cook needs — without the clutter, the life stories, and the three-minute video intros.
Discover wholesome recipes
Browse ChopYum's growing library of curated recipes. Filter by cuisine, dietary preference (vegan, vegetarian, non-veg), difficulty, meal type, and total cooking time. Every recipe includes realistic prep times, clear ingredient lists, and step-by-step instructions.
Plan your week in minutes
Add your chosen recipes to ChopYum's weekly meal planner. Assign breakfast, lunch, and dinner slots for each day of the week. The meal plan is flexible — swap recipes, move them between days, or clear a slot if your plans change. A good plan beats no plan, even when life intervenes.
Generate your grocery list
ChopYum automatically consolidates every ingredient from your weekly plan into a single, organised grocery list. Duplicate ingredients are combined — so if three of your recipes use onions, the list shows one combined quantity, not three separate entries. Tick items off as you shop, directly in the app.
Cook, save, and connect
Save your favourite recipes to personal collections, use the built-in serving scaler to adjust quantities, check off ingredients as you prep, and mark steps as complete as you cook. Share cooking notes and photos with the ChopYum community — a growing feed of home cooks sharing meals, tips, and inspiration.
Everything you need to know
about ChopYum
Is ChopYum free to use? +
Yes. ChopYum is free to download and use on Android. The free version includes full access to recipe discovery, dietary filters, the weekly meal planner, and the grocery list generator. Ads are shown in the free version to keep the app sustainable. A ChopYum Premium subscription is available for an ad-free experience with additional features, billed via Google Play.
How are recipes on ChopYum curated? +
Every recipe in the ChopYum library is reviewed by the ChopYum editorial team before being published. We verify ingredient accuracy, realistic cooking times, clear step-by-step instructions, and correct dietary labelling. We add storage guidance, nutrition information, and contextual cooking notes to help you cook with confidence. Our goal is a recipe library built on quality, not volume.
What dietary filters does ChopYum support? +
ChopYum supports filtering by vegan, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian dietary types. You can also filter by specific dietary preferences such as gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and others, depending on the recipe library content. Filters can be combined — for example, vegan + gluten-free — to help you find recipes that match your precise requirements. We use the strict definition of vegan (no animal products of any kind) so you can trust the label.
Does ChopYum have an iOS app? +
ChopYum is currently available on Android via the Google Play Store. An iOS version for iPhone and iPad is in development and will be released in the coming months. If you would like to be notified when the iOS version launches, please follow ChopYum on Google Play or check back on this site for updates.
How does the meal planner work? +
The ChopYum meal planner lets you assign any recipe to any meal slot (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) for any day of the week. Once you have filled in your plan, ChopYum automatically generates a consolidated grocery list from all the recipes in your plan — combining duplicate ingredients into single quantities so your shopping trip is as efficient as possible. You can modify your plan at any time, and the grocery list updates automatically to reflect your changes.
Can I scale recipe servings? +
Yes. Every recipe page on ChopYum — both in the app and on the website — includes a serving scaler. Use the plus and minus controls on the recipe page to adjust the number of servings, and all ingredient quantities will update automatically to match. This works for both simple and complex ingredient ratios, including fractions like ½ cup and ¾ teaspoon.
How do I contact ChopYum for support? +
You can reach the ChopYum team at pixelapp89@gmail.com. We aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours. If you have found a bug in the app, please include your device model, Android version, and a brief description of what happened so we can investigate and resolve it quickly.
