Cook for exactly who’s home.

260 recipes, every amount sized to your household — and re-sized on the nights someone’s out. One shopping list at the end of it.

The film, 83 seconds — recorded from the app itself, nothing staged.

Most meal apps round. This one counts.

Most meal planners multiply one number by the number of plates. This one knows who’s on them.

Eleven shells, or nine.

Taco night serves four. Your house isn’t four — it’s two adults, two teenagers and a small one, and one of the teenagers has practice. DinnerCount already knows that’s 4.10 portions tonight instead of 5.10, so the recipe asks for nine shells instead of eleven, and the shopping list follows.

Drag one person’s appetite and watch the household count move. That’s the whole idea. Not calorie targets, not age brackets: you set each person’s appetite once.

260 recipes, already written, every one with its picture.

Not a search box. Not a million recipes someone else uploaded. Nearly two hundred dinners and breakfasts, fifty-seven sides and a handful of desserts — written in plain English, each with a picture of the dish, ready the minute you open it. Nothing to import, nothing to set up, nothing to clip from a blog.

The time, the method and a $, $$ or $$$ on every card.

One list, in the order the store is laid out.

Beef from three different dinners adds up into one line — and it tells you how much is for which dinner. The paprika and the chicken broth already in your cupboard aren’t on it. Twenty-three things, sorted by aisle, ready to take to the store.

Build my week fills the spare nights in one tap — the list is built from what lands on them.

And the bits that go wrong at six o’clock.

Cook mode gives you one big step at a time with the timer already in it. Someone’s out on Thursday — mark it and everything downstream redoes itself. Half of every kitchen argument is just arithmetic, so the conversions are a tab: tablespoons in a stick of butter, nine-by-thirteen when the recipe wants eight-by-eight.

What’s free, and what isn’t

Said exactly, so nothing reads as a trick the first time you meet a lock.

Fair questions

Is this a subscription?: No. You pay once. Nothing renews and there’s no card kept on file with us.
Do I need an account?: Not to try it. Your household, your week and your list live on your own device. An account comes with buying: it puts your household on every device in your home, so nothing lives on one phone alone.
Does it work on my phone?: It’s a website, so it works on anything with a browser. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app — and, once it has loaded once, it opens with no signal.
Can I add my own recipes?: Yes — type or paste them in, free, on this device. Bringing one in from a link or a photo comes with the full version. Your grandmother’s lasagna belongs in here more than anything of ours.
Are the pictures photographs?: No. They’re illustrations made with an image tool, one per recipe, so you can see what you’re aiming for. The recipes are the real thing.
Does it do keto, Whole30 or paleo plans?: No. It’s a family cookbook, not a diet program. Every recipe carries its time, method and main protein so you can filter on those, but there are no protocol tracks and we’d rather say so than pretend.
Where does my data live?: On your device — and, once you sign in, sealed in your household’s own space on our servers so your other devices can see it. There’s no advertising in it and nothing about your household is sold to anyone. The whole of it is in the Privacy Notice.
I’m coming from Mealime.: Read this first — it closes on 21 October, and your saved recipes and plans are deleted with it.
