Week overview of the app: deadline on Saturday, wishes and votes for every day

How it works

From wish to groceries in four steps

  1. Collect wishes

    Choose the days you plan for. Until the deadline, everyone adds a wish – a recipe, their own idea or simply “anything”.

  2. Vote

    Everyone has one vote per meal. The whole family sees right away which dish is ahead.

  3. Decide

    Whoever manages the family takes the proposal from the votes or decides differently. Then the plan is set for everyone.

  4. Shop

    The recipes become the shopping list – added up, sorted by aisle and checked off together.

Wish & vote

Everyone has a say – no debate at the dinner table

Wishes and votes are visible to everyone and update live. You see at a glance where a wish is still missing and which dish is ahead.

  • A recipe, your own idea or “anything”
  • You decide how many wishes per meal
  • A reminder if your wish is still missing
Monday dinner: three wishes with votes, spaghetti bolognese is ahead

Weekly plan

A plan everyone can rely on

After the deadline it is decided – with one tap for the family’s proposal or with your own choice. From then on, everyone knows what’s for dinner.

  • Breakfast, lunch and dinner for up to 14 days
  • A notification as soon as the plan is ready
  • Plan and shopping list available offline

Shopping list

The shopping list writes itself

The ingredients of all recipes of the week are added up and sorted by aisle. Whoever shops checks items off – everyone else sees it immediately.

  • Amounts from several recipes combined
  • Add your own items, like bread for lunch boxes
  • “Tom is shopping” – see who is out
  • Checking off works without signal too
