About Right Byte

Why we built it

Most planning apps assume one cook, one diet, one grocery run. Real families have a kid with a peanut allergy, a parent managing MCAS or POTS, a partner doing low-FODMAP for IBS, and a teen who wants Korean three nights a week. Existing tools force you to either pick one person to plan around or do all the cross-checking by hand.

Right Byte was built around the people first. Each family member gets their own profile with their own restrictions and why. Meal plans get generated against the whole household at once. The shopping list partitions automatically by store and aisle so the trip itself is faster.

What it does today

• Per-person profiles with allergy, condition, and preference tags pulled from a curated medical/dietary library — every restriction includes an explainer so the whole family understands the ‘why’.
• A free public recipe library you can filter by allergens you avoid, conditions you’re managing, cuisine, time, or community rating — and one-click add to a meal plan.
• AI meal-plan generation (Plus tier) that writes recipes from scratch matched to your household’s exact restrictions and pantry — never anything that violates a strict allergy.
• A shared, real-time shopping list partitioned by store and aisle, with one-tap Instacart hand-off for Publix, Costco, and others (Plus tier).
• Pet profiles + AI-drafted pet food recipes for cats and dogs with their own dietary needs.

How we think about safety

We treat allergen tags as safety-critical. Every recipe in the public library is double-checked against the restrictions it claims to respect, and any household can flag a recipe with one click — those flags route to a priority admin queue. AI-generated recipes are validated server-side against the household’s strict restrictions before they’re ever shown.

None of this replaces medical advice. Restriction explainers are educational; for anything diagnostic or dietetic, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian.

Who’s building this

A tiny team that lives the problem. We’re building it for our own families first — every feature has to earn its place in our weekly grocery run before it ships.
