About Smaklig
What is Smaklig?
Smaklig is an AI-driven meal planning service for the Swedish market. We automatically create weekly menus based on your goals, allergies, dietary preferences, and current campaigns at your ICA store. You get both the recipes and a sorted shopping list directly.
Who is behind Smaklig?
Smaklig is developed by Alexander Eriksson in Sweden. The service is self-funded and independent — we take no commissions from ICA, food manufacturers, or sponsors.
Which stores are supported?
Currently all 1,285 ICA stores are supported (Maxi, Kvantum, Supermarket, Nära) with campaign updates every Monday. Coop is rolling out gradually during 2026.
Can I use Smaklig without selecting a store?
Yes, but you won't get campaign-optimized recipes. We recommend choosing your nearest ICA store to get maximum value from the service.
Does Smaklig work offline?
Your shopping list works completely offline — it syncs automatically when you're back online. Recipe generation and campaigns require internet.
Diet and health
How does weight loss work with Smaklig?
At registration you set a goal (weight loss, maintenance, muscle gain), current weight, height, and activity level. Smaklig calculates your TDEE using Mifflin-St Jeor and creates weekly menus matching your calorie and protein profile. Weight loss happens through caloric deficit — not magic ingredients.
Does Smaklig handle allergies and special diets?
Yes. We support gluten, lactose, nuts, shellfish, eggs, soy, fish, sesame, and more. All AI-generated recipes are automatically validated against your allergies on the server — if a recipe contains an allergen, it is BLOCKED, not just warned. This is safety-critical for us.
Does Smaklig support vegetarian, vegan, and LCHF?
Yes. You can select vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, LCHF, keto, GI, Mediterranean, and several other diet types during onboarding. Smaklig adapts both recipes and campaign suggestions to your choice.
Is Smaklig a replacement for a dietitian or doctor?
No. Smaklig is a planning tool, not medical advice. If you have diabetes, kidney disease, pregnancy, or other conditions requiring special diets — always consult a licensed healthcare professional before following a Smaklig menu.
How are calories in recipes calculated?
Each recipe shows exact kcal, protein, carbs, and fat per portion — always with tabular-nums for clear reading. Values are calculated from a Swedish food database linked to the ingredients.
Savings and pricing
How much can I save with Smaklig?
The average user saves 800–1,400 SEK per month compared to shopping without a plan. Savings come from three things: campaign utilization (15–30% discount on 8–12 items/week), reduced food waste (ingredients reused), and fewer impulse purchases.
Does Smaklig cost anything?
The free version includes 3 AI recipe generations per day, access to all ICA campaigns, and an offline shopping list. Premium (89 SEK/month) offers unlimited AI generations, weekly menus, training programs, and multi-store comparison.
How are recipes optimized against campaigns?
Every Monday, the week's campaigns are fetched from your selected ICA store. When you generate a recipe, campaign prices are sent to the AI, which prioritizes cheap main ingredients without compromising on nutrition or flavor.
Does Smaklig show real-time prices?
We show the lowest campaign price valid during the current campaign week (Monday–Sunday). Regular prices may vary between store visits, but the campaign price is fixed for the week.
Can I compare multiple stores at once?
Premium users can connect up to 5 stores and see which has the best price per ingredient. Free users can switch stores anytime, but compare one at a time.
Technical and data protection
Where is my data stored?
All data is stored in the EU (Neon, Frankfurt). Passwords are hashed with Argon2id. Connections are encrypted via SSL. Health data (weight, allergies, goals) is considered GDPR special category and requires explicit consent at registration.
How do I delete my account?
Settings → 'Delete my account' permanently deletes all personal data within 30 days. You can also email lillalle@hotmail.com. Deletion covers health data, AI logs, and account data.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Your food preferences are sent to Anthropic (Claude) only to generate your specific recipe. Anthropic does not use API data for model training per their policy. We only log metadata (token cost, timestamp) — never raw text of your queries.
Is there a Smaklig app?
Smaklig is a progressive web app (PWA) installed directly from the browser on iOS and Android. Tap 'Add to home screen' and it works like a native app. Native apps on App Store/Google Play are planned for late 2026.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge in current versions. PWA installation works best on Chrome (Android) and Safari (iOS 17+). Internet Explorer is not supported.
How do I report a bug?
Email lillalle@hotmail.com with a screenshot, what you tried to do, and which device/browser you used. We usually reply within 24 hours.
