About

You're great at buying snacks and even better at ordering delivery. The planning is the part that never happens. Everything But The Chef does everything a personal chef would — the planning, the organizing, the shopping list. Everything but the actual cooking. PLAN THE WEEK IN ONE TAP Seven dinners, chosen the way a chef would: no repeats, proteins rotated so it's never chicken twice in a row, quick meals on weeknights and longer projects saved for the weekend. Swap any night by hand, or reshuffle the whole week. EVERYONE AT THE TABLE EATS Add each person's diet — vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free — and anything they just won't eat. The planner only ever picks dinners the whole household can enjoy. Picky eaters rejoice! ONE PAN, TWO PLATES Real kitchens aren't all-or-nothing. Split meals cook one shared base with a choice of protein — taco night becomes ground turkey for one of you, blackened cod for the other, automatically. The grocery list buys exactly the right amount of each. ONE LIST, ONE TRIP Every ingredient from the week merges into a single grocery list — two recipes that each need onions become one line — scaled to your servings and grouped by aisle in the order you'd walk the store. Check things off as they land in the cart. Works completely offline. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No ads. No analytics. Your meals and your household's dietary needs stay yours — never sold, never shared. EBTC PLUS One subscription covers your whole household: • Plan together — share the week and a live grocery list with your household. Check off the milk in aisle 4 and it disappears from their phones too. They join free with a simple code. • Your recipes — add unlimited recipes of your own, or import any recipe straight from the internet. • Whole-day planning — breakfast and lunch slots on every day, merged into the same list. Coming to Plus: pantry tracking and nutrition targets. EBTC Plus is $2.99/month, or $19.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Family Sharing is supported.

What's New in Everything But The Chef

1.1.0

July 28, 2026

Thank you to all who have tried out and provided feedback on EBTC! This update is all about polish based on user feedback. YOUR LIST, YOUR CALL • Skip it, already have it, or swap it: take any item off the grocery list without unplanning dinner. Bought brussels sprouts instead of asparagus? Two taps. • Meals with a protein choice now include "None". Pesto pasta with no shrimp, and the list updates accordingly. • Pantry staples like olive oil and oregano now say "check your pantry — recipes need 2 tsp" instead of sending you to buy salt you already have. • Type anything into the shopping list and it files itself under the right aisle. SMALL FIXES • Search the meal picker — find tacos without scrolling past every dinner. • The keyboard finally gets out of the way of what you're typing. • Your household invite code can be copied or texted with a tap. • Joining your partner's household now spots duplicate people ("Sam" on both phones) and merges them with your okay. ONE SUBSCRIPTION, WHOLE HOUSEHOLD EBTC Plus now covers everyone in your household — your partner gets breakfast & lunch planning, recipe import, and unlimited recipes automatically. No second subscription, nothing to set up. Household heads-up: if one of you updates before the other, "no protein" picks and removed list items may look slightly off on the not-yet-updated phone. It sorts itself out when both of you are on the latest version.
