## What is Dinner Dough?

Dinner Dough helps your household decide what to eat and keep the grocery shop inside the budget you set. Cook what you have. Spend what you planned.

Dinner Dough is a subscription. Try a meal idea first, then choose Plus or Family to keep going. New subscribers pay less for the first month of a monthly plan, and you can cancel any time in your store account.

Tell it what's in the kitchen and it suggests breakfast, lunch and dinner from that food, using up what is closest to its date first. Plan the week, take a shopping list that shows what fits the money left, and see at the end of the month where it went.

Meal ideas from what you have
• Ideas built around the food, drinks and snacks in your house, from jollof to shepherd's pie.
• Each idea shows about how long it takes, what it uses and anything you would need to buy.
• Ideas are saved. Ask the same again and you get them back without using another request.

A plan for the week
• Plan breakfast, lunch and dinner, or let Dinner Dough fill the empty slots.
• Mark a meal as cooked and what it used comes out of your stock.
• Add the missing ingredients to the shopping list in one tap.

A shopping list that fits the budget
• Set a weekly or monthly food budget in your own currency. Groceries, eating out and ordering in all count.
• The list shows what fits the money left and what goes over, so you can trim it or keep it as it is.
• Sort by priority or by store, skip what you don't need this time, and log what you bought in a tap.
• Log a meal out or a delivery in one tap, and other spending too, so what's left stays accurate.

Stock at home
• Keep a simple count of what's in the house with plus and minus.
• Anything at or below its restock level shows up on the shopping list.

Your monthly report
• See what you spent on food this month, groceries beside eating out, against your budget and against last month.
• Break it down by kind, by store, by week and by the items you spend most on.
• Save the month as a spreadsheet (CSV).

Plan and shop together
• Invite the people you live with by code: up to 2 people on Plus, up to 5 on Family. Each person is an owner, a member or a viewer.
• Everyone works from the same stock, list, plan and budget, and you can see who bought what.

Reminders, only if you want them
• Off until you turn them on. At most one a day, never in your quiet hours.
• Each one opens what you need in one tap: dinner isn't planned yet, something is close to its date, or the list costs more than what's left.

Works offline
• Stock, the list, the plan and the budget work without a signal. Changes are saved on your phone and sync when you're back online. Meal ideas need a connection.

Set up for your household
• Your currency, metric or imperial units, the day your week starts and the cuisines you cook.
• Add allergens to avoid and diets, and meal ideas take them into account.

About meal ideas and allergies
Meal ideas are written by AI from your household's food list. They are suggestions, not medical advice. If anyone in your household has an allergy, always check food labels yourself.

Your data
• No ads.
• Save your stock and purchases as CSV files, or a full backup, at any time.
• Delete your household or your account from inside the app.

Plans
Set up your kitchen and try a meal idea first, then choose a plan to keep going. Plus is for up to 2 people and Family for up to 5, with a larger shared allowance of meal idea requests. Both include receipt scan, price memory, spending beyond groceries and your full report history. New subscribers get a lower price for the first month where the store offers it. Prices are shown in the app and in the store before you buy, and subscriptions renew until you cancel.

Dinner Dough is for adults: you need to be 18 or over to use it.

Fixes and small improvements:

• Change an item's unit, and restock in the unit you bought it in.
• Add missing items from your week plan now sets the usual unit and amount.
• Bought all asks about each item first, so nothing is logged by accident.
• Bringing in your old records shows each item, asks "Same item?" for names that are close, and brings your week plan.
• Meal ideas fit properly on iPad.
