About
Most meal planning begins with a calendar. Nom Nom begins with a cookbook.
A household keeps its recipes in one place and puts the meals it intends to cook onto a plan. The shopping list is then computed from that plan — every ingredient, added up across every meal, sorted the way the store is laid out. Nobody writes the list, and nobody writes it twice.
The plan carries no days, no slots and no times. Households rarely cook in the order they expected to, and an app that insists otherwise mostly creates work correcting itself. What matters is what the household means to cook, and what it therefore needs to buy.
How it works
Build a cookbook
Paste a link, copy one of 1,200, take one a friend sent, or let a chatbot do it.
Put meals on a plan
No days, no slots, no times. Just what you intend to cook.
Shop from a list that writes itself
Every ingredient your plan needs, summed across meals and sorted the way your store is laid out.
What it does
Connect Claude or ChatGPT
An AI assistant can read and change your household's cookbook, plan and list, over a connector you set up yourself. It is per household, it is never on by default, and you turn it off where you turned it on.
Shared by default
Invite the household and everyone works from the same cookbook, the same plan and the same list.
Six ways in
Type a recipe out, paste a link, copy from the 1,200 in the shared library, or take one a friend sent you with a code. Connect Claude or ChatGPT and it can write recipes straight into your cookbook. Or hand any chatbot a photo of a page and paste back what it gives you. It all lands in one cookbook, and every recipe is yours to edit.
Nutrition as reference
Look up what is in a meal when you want to know. Nothing is targeted or scored.
Allergen marks
Ingredients carry best-effort allergen marks to help you spot problems.
Optional history and profiles
Log what was actually eaten, and set age group and sex to give a member's own history context. Nothing is recorded until someone logs a meal or sets a profile.
