Every feature is designed for families who need dinner on the table fast — not families with an hour and a half to spare.
Set your max cook time — 20, 30, or 45 minutes. The AI only picks meals that fit, so every night is actually achievable after a long day.
Flag days when you want minimal effort. The AI picks simple, pantry-friendly meals that take fewer than 5 main ingredients to pull together.
Spend 30 minutes prepping on Sunday — chopped veg, marinated proteins, cooked grains — and cut active weeknight cook time to under 15 minutes.
If Tuesday turns chaotic, swap to a 15-minute emergency dinner in one tap. Quesadillas, eggs on toast, pasta from the pantry — always an option.
One consolidated shopping list covers every meal. Pick it up on Sunday and you won't need to stop at the supermarket mid-week.
Set each person's preferences once. The AI picks meals everyone will eat — no separate dinners, no negotiations at the table.
Sign up (free), complete the 90-second setup, and set your max cook time. The AI instantly builds a 7-night plan using only meals that fit within your time limit — no browsing recipe blogs, no last-minute decisions.
The quickest options in Meal Optimizer include egg fried rice (15 min), quesadillas (15 min), creamy tomato pasta (20 min), and sheet-pan fish (25 min). All are kid-friendly and involve minimal washing up.
Yes — batch-prep mode flags which ingredients can be prepped in one Sunday session. Chopped veg, marinated proteins, and cooked grains all store well and cut your active weeknight cook time to under 15 minutes.
Every meal can be swapped in one tap. Emergency options (under 15 minutes) are always available — quesadillas, scrambled eggs on toast, or a quick pasta. The plan updates the shopping list automatically.
