Interaction - Bachelor
LinkBite is a streamlined meal-planning app that connects recipes, grocery lists, and inventory management into one cohesive experience. Designed to reduce friction and simplify decision-making, it helps users plan meals effortlessly while maintaining awareness of ingredients at home, promoting smarter, more mindful food management through intuitive interaction and clarity.
Many people struggle to keep track of ingredients they already have, often leading to duplicate purchases, forgotten items, and unnecessary food waste. While meal-planning apps exist, most depend on repetitive manual entry, which users quickly find tedious. Research revealed that the core issue isn’t a lack of motivation, it’s the mental load of staying organised. People want to plan meals efficiently, but without the effort of constantly updating lists or inventories.
How might we make food management feel effortless, helping users cook intuitively while naturally reducing waste?
LinkBite addresses this by automating key parts of the meal-planning process. The app connects recipes, grocery lists, and inventory management in a seamless flow, allowing users to see what they already have, plan around it, and reduce waste effortlessly. Through smart feedback, clear visual cues, and simplified navigation, LinkBite turns meal planning into an intuitive, low-friction experience that supports sustainable everyday cooking habits.
Start with what you have, browse recipes by ingredient or through search. LinkBite suggests meals that make the most of your existing ingredients.
As soon as you add a recipe, your grocery list is generated instantly, categorised by type and quantity. Check off items as you shop to see them seamlessly move into your inventory.
When grocery items are ticked off, they’re automatically added to your inventory with smart categorisation. Stay organised and aware of what’s fresh or expiring soon.
Meal Plan, Grocery List, and Inventory, perfectly connected.
