Almost everything I eat is prepared from scratch by me at home. I cook mostly be feeling these days. I don't find rando recipes online that useful. They tend to take more time just because you're trying to work out what they're talking about only to find out after several precise instructions, oh, they're making a béchamel sauce, which I could make with my eyes closed.

What I've been working on for my own personal uses is a curated database that keeps track of ratings and numbers like perceived difficulty and actual time taken (these vary wildly from what they tell you). Then an algorithm that generates a plan based on given parameters for that week, mainly how much time you have and whether you want to try new things.

I also essentially rewrite all recipes in my own shorthand format which is based on how I think and execute the recipes in the kitchen. For example, I do mise en place for some things, but not others. I do chop all vegetables first, for example, but I don't pre-measure out all my spices because that's pointless.

Most off the shelf software has the wrong priorities for experienced cooks IMO. Like I don't need or care about the exact quantity required of tomatoes for the week. I just know this. I also don't need it to tell me I need e.g. turmeric. I cook mainly Indian food, I always have turmeric. I also haven't found one that understands meal prep or base ingredients that still need preparation (like cooked dal, dosa batter, masalas etc.)

My main problem is the analysis paralysis when deciding what to eat for the week. But using someone else's database for recipes is useless to me.
