## What is FamilyMeals?

FamilyMeals is the meal planner the whole household has a say in. Vote on the week's dinners, see who's cooking each night, and shop from one list that builds itself from the meals you pick.

Built for families, couples and roommates - anyone who shares a kitchen.

EVERYONE'S IN, ON THEIR OWN DEVICE
Share one invite code and each member joins on their own phone - or set up a shared household tablet. Meals, votes, the plan and the shopping list stay in sync live.

VOTE ON THE WEEK'S DINNERS
Anyone can start a vote. Each member ranks their top three, live standings update across devices, then lock the vote and assign the winners to the plan.

ONE MEAL PLAN, WHO'S COOKING SORTED
A rolling seven-day Meal Plan everyone can see. Tap a day to assign a meal and the cook, swap days in a tap - no more "what's for dinner?" every night.

A SHOPPING LIST THAT BUILDS ITSELF
Create your list from the ingredients of the meals on the plan, check items off as you shop, and add manual items too.

YOUR ROTATION, NOT A RECIPE FEED
FamilyMeals isn't a recipe-discovery app. Add the 20–30 dinners your household actually eats to your Meals library once - with ingredients - and reuse them every week. Star your Household Favorites, and see each meal's vote score, how often it's been eaten and who's cooked it.

ROULETTE FOR THE UNDECIDED NIGHTS
Create a scenario like "Takeout tonight?", add options and spin the wheel. Spin history included.

FREE TO START
Planning, meals and shopping lists are free. Voting includes 5 free rounds; unlock unlimited voting with a single one-time purchase - no subscription. No ads, no tracking.

Everyone votes. The week gets planned. The shopping list builds itself.
