Everyone at the table

One pot. Everyone’s plate.

One dinner for the whole family. What changes is the plate: a portion sized for each person, toppings that stay on the table, a big lemony salad beside it for whoever’s eating lighter.

Allergies are hard rules, checked in code and never planned. Even for someone who’s out tonight, because leftovers turn into lunch.

Sunday’s plates

Pasta e Lenticchie · 4 plates, one pot

Portions for Sunday's Pasta e Lenticchie: Alex 1¼ cups, 300 g, 420 kcal. Jordan 1¾ cups, 440 g, 580 kcal. Leo 1¼ cups, 300 g, 360 kcal. Mia 1 cup, 250 g, 310 kcal. About 300 g left in the pot for tomorrow's lunch.

Lighter for AlexThe pot uses a little less oil. Cheese and oil go on at the table. A big lemony salad on the side (~60 kcal), already on the list.

At the table

Out of the pot, so one dinner works for everyone.

At the table: Parmesan, Alex takes a spoonful and Leo skips it. Chili flakes, Mia skips it.
The Who's eating Thursday sheet for dinner: Alex, Leo and Mia are eating, Jordan is switched to Out with a Save a plate for later button, and guests are set to zero. The button reads Done, 3 plates.

Thursday · Dinner

Garlic Mushroom Spaghetti

25 min · $2.98 a plate

Jordan is out, so Garlic Mushroom Spaghetti works tonight. You saved it.

Back to original

Meal by meal

Jordan’s out. Dinner adjusts.

Tap a face to mark someone out for one meal, add a guest, or save a plate for later. A swap only shows up when there’s a reason for it, and Back to original is always one tap away.

Next week is a draft until Saturday morning. Then the list is ready and you get one notification. That’s the only one, by default.

Groceries

Prices you can check.

Quantities merged across the week and rounded to packages your store actually sells. Every price says whether it’s live from the shelf or our estimate, so the total is a range, not a guess dressed up as a number.

Kroger family

Walmart

Everyone else
Est.

Kroger family means Kroger, Ralphs, Fry’s, King Soopers and more. No Instacart at launch. Receipts sharpen the estimates for your area over time.

The Fill your Kroger cart sheet over the grocery list: connected to Kroger, 53 items go straight into your Kroger cart with live prices from your store, $192 to $204, and a Send to my Kroger cart button.

Receipts and your kitchen

Snap the receipt. That’s it.

One photo ticks off what you bought for the whole family, files the extras in your kitchen, and makes next week’s estimate a little more honest.

Cook mode

Hands busy. Timer’s on it.

Big text, one step at a time, real timers. Lock the phone and the timer keeps running on the Dynamic Island. The last step, Serve, shows everyone’s portion. Then everyone rates it, and next week listens.

The cook timer as a Live Activity in the Dynamic Island: Lemon Herb Chicken, 27:12.

On the Dynamic Island and the Lock Screen.

Cook mode, step 4 of 5: Roast until the skin is deep golden and the chicken reads 175°F inside. A gold timer ring shows 27:12 with Pause, and a Next button.

Hand-picked, not generated

Every recipe is picked and checked by people. None are generated. AI never writes a recipe, never decides what’s safe for Leo, never does the math on prices or portions. It reads things in, a receipt or a shelf of your fridge, and that’s all.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Anything else, write to hello@mealplum.com. Real people reply within 24 hours.

When can I get it?

Soon. Mealplum is coming to the App Store for iPhone first. There's nothing to sign up for yet; check back here.

Are the recipes AI-generated?

No. Every recipe is picked and checked by Mealplum, with complete quantities, spices included, and nutrition from USDA data. AI is only used to read things in: receipt photos and kitchen photos.

How do you handle allergies?

As hard rules, enforced by code. An allergen is never planned for anyone who has it, even on a night they're out, because leftovers end up in lunches. Soft dislikes like mushrooms or cilantro are avoided when we can.

We all eat differently. Does that mean four dinners?

One dinner, different plates. Portions are sized per person, toppings like parmesan or chili flakes stay on the table, and there's a lemony salad on the side for whoever's eating lighter. Weight goals are for adults only, never for under-18s.

Which stores do you work with?

Kroger and Kroger-family stores (Ralphs, Fry's, King Soopers and more) get live prices and fill your Kroger cart. Walmart opens walmart.com with your items in the cart. For Target, H-E-B, Costco, Aldi, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and others we show estimates, and your receipts make them better.

What does it cost, and how do I cancel?

7 days free, then $39.99 a year or $7.99 a month. We remind you 2 days before the first charge, always. Cancel in 2 taps in iOS Settings or in the app under Home → Subscription.

Can my partner and kids use it?

Yes. One subscription covers the household: up to 6 accounts and 8 profiles, and the people you invite never pay. Kids get profiles, never accounts under 13.

Does it plan breakfasts and lunches too?

If you want. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are each optional, on any days you pick. Dinners can cook once and feed tomorrow's lunch, and there's a setting for kids who eat lunch at school.

What happens to my data?

We keep what the plan needs and nothing for advertising. Avatars are illustrated, and we never store photos of people. Receipt and kitchen photos are read, then thrown away. You can download your data or delete your account from inside the app; the privacy policy has the details.

Is there an Android version?

iPhone comes first. Android and a web app are planned for later.

Tonight’s sorted.

One plan for everyone at your table. Android and the web come after iPhone.
