Dinnerfy

What is Dinnerfy?

Dinnerfy is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that runs in your web browser — no download from Apple’s or Google’s app stores required. You can add it to your device’s home screen like a regular app. The app is designed to help families spend more quality time together: its technology learns what your family likes and helps you reach your goals, and you can customize your menus. Dinnerfy is free to use, with voluntary donations accepted to keep it running.

Who created Dinnerfy?

Chuck and Aman created Dinnerfy, as they shared in a message on the website. Their stated goal is to help families achieve their goals and spend more time together using the app’s taste-learning technology. They also welcome user feedback to improve the platform.
