About

CartBrain plans your family's whole week of meals around the money you actually have — and the prices at the stores you actually shop. Tell it who's eating, what your budget is, and which stores are near you. CartBrain builds a week of real meals, prices them against current local flyer deals, and hands you an organised shopping list split by store. BUILT AROUND YOUR BUDGET Set what you can spend this week. Every plan is built to fit it, using what's on sale near you and what's already in your pantry. You see the running total before you shop — not a surprise at the till. REAL FAMILIES, NOT SERVING SIZES Adults, teenagers, school-age kids and toddlers all eat differently. CartBrain sizes portions from each person's age, and handles allergies, diets and the food your kids will genuinely eat. SCHOOL AND DAYCARE LUNCHES Nut-free, cold-only, no reheating, thermos or no thermos — set it once per child and every packed lunch respects it. Rotating shifts are handled too. YOUR SHOPPING LIST WORKS IN THE STORE Grocery stores have terrible reception. CartBrain's list is saved on your phone, so you can tick items off with no signal at all — and everything syncs the moment you're back online. Close the app mid-shop and nothing is lost. ONE RUNNING SHOPPING LIST Your own list, always in sync with your plan. Tick something off in either place and it's ticked in both — it's the same item, not a copy. Add anything you like, and see this week's real flyer prices from shops near you before you do. Archive a finished list and it's kept exactly as it was. TRAVEL MODE Going away? Tell CartBrain where you're staying and it follows you: stores near you, that area's flyers, and prices in the local currency. Your home address, your usual stores and your billing all stay exactly as they are, and coming home is one tap. Available for Canada and the United States. BREAKFAST, LUNCH, SUPPER AND SNACKS Plan whichever meals you want. Regenerate a day you don't like, swap a single meal, or lock the ones everyone loved. IT LEARNS YOUR HOUSEHOLD Loved meals come back. Rejected ones don't. Must-have items — the specific snacks and brands your family insists on — are added to every list automatically and counted in the budget. BILINGUAL Entirely available in English and Canadian French. Switch any time. WHY PEOPLE USE IT • Stop staring into the fridge at 5pm • Stop overspending on groceries without knowing where it went • Stop buying what you already have • Get the week's cooking decided in a few minutes Start free — no credit card. Live flyer deals cover Canada and the United States; meal planning, budgeting and shopping lists work anywhere.

What's New in CartBrain

1.1.47

September 7, 2026

• The header shows today's weather where you are: a sky icon that changes with the conditions, your town and the temperature. • A recipe's ingredient list now names every seasoning its steps use — garlic, salt, pepper — and new plans buy them; recipes you already have are completed as you open them. • A redone day or a swapped meal brings its recipe along, instructions and calories included. Redo day asks first. • Store groups on the grocery tab and the shopping list have a calm header: the store's mark, the number of items and that store's total. • A loved recipe can be told which meal it is — breakfast, lunch, supper or snack — and lands there when pinned into a plan. Ingredient levels now read Love, Like, Neutral, Not as often and Never. • Nothing in Settings changes until you press Save. After you confirm your email, the app moves you into setup by itself. • The planner has three views, chosen in Settings: days as rows with the meals across, the classic columns, or one day at a time with a date picker that opens on today. Every day shows its date. • Meal cards are tighter and line up across the week; each swap button has its own calm colour. • Choosing meals is clearer: your last choice is remembered, each card shows how many times it is planned, and the week's total stays in view. A plan with only a few days asks first and offers the full week. • Your plan opens as soon as the meals and grocery list are done; photos keep arriving on their own for a few minutes after. • The budget step says what your number means per person per day. The stores step shows your chosen stores first, then everything nearby; every branch shows its street. • The grocery list wears each store's banner. Next week opens on Friday, once the flyers are out. • Grocery lists buy what the recipes use and a week over budget swaps its dearest meals for cheaper dishes. Cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles and almond flour no longer trigger a diet alert.
