📅 Meal planning
Plan a week, suggest recipes, assign cooks, and build groceries from it.
- How the meal plan worksOne shared plan for the household, a week at a time. No meal slots — each day is just an ordered list of recipes.
- Adding a recipe to your weekTap + on a day, pick a recipe, choose one or more days, set servings per day, and optionally choose a cook.
- Suggesting recipes — the meal pool"Suggested by your household" is a shelf of up to 12 recipe ideas not yet on a date. Add to it from a recipe; tap one to schedule it.
- Assigning who cooksIn a household with more than one member, pick who's cooking a planned meal. They get a notification.
- Filling the week & bulk servings"Suggest recipes for this week" drops a random unused recipe onto each empty day; the servings tool rescales every planned meal in the week.
- Removing meals & clearing a weekSwipe a meal to remove it (a multi-day plan asks which days); the toolbar trash clears the whole week. Both offer Undo.
- When a meal shows "Cooked"A planned meal is marked Cooked automatically when that recipe gets a cooking record on one of its planned dates. There's no manual toggle.
- Adding a planned week to your grocery listThe cart button on the Meal Plan turns the visible week's recipes into grocery items, with per-recipe servings.
- Changing when your week starts"Week starts on" is in Settings → Preferences and applies to the whole household, not just you.
- Meal planning offlineYou can view the plan and add meals offline; everything else — cook, servings, shuffle, remove, clear, the pool — needs a connection.
