## What is Grovbite?

Grovbite is a meal planner that decides what your family eats this week, then builds the grocery list to match. 

Tell it who you cook for once. Diets, allergies, ingredients nobody will touch, how much time you actually have on a weeknight. Every plan after that is built around those answers.

PLAN A WEEK IN ONE GO
Out of dinner ideas? Generate a full week of dinners, then adjust it. Swap any meal for a different recipe that reuses ingredients you have already bought. Drag meals between days when the week changes on you. Finish the week early when it does not.

A GROCERY LIST THAT MATCHES YOUR STORE
Every ingredient from every meal, combined into one grocery list and grouped by aisle. Reorder the aisles once to match your own supermarket and shop it in a single pass. Items you already have in the pantry are left off. Where a substitution works, Grovbite says so, so a missing ingredient does not end the plan.

COOK WITHOUT SCROLLING
Recipes open into a full screen, one step at a time, in text large enough to read from across the counter. Steps that need timing carry a timer you start with one tap.

FROM ONE COOK TO A FULL HOUSE
Cook for yourself or for the whole family. Add the adults and children you cook for and portions scale to match. Share the meal plan and the grocery list with the rest of the family so anyone can pick up the shopping.

SEE THE HABIT CHANGE
Meals cooked, weeks completed, time spent at the stove, and what you rated highest. The point is not the numbers, it is watching the takeout habit fade.

WHAT YOU GET
- A new week of dinners whenever you want one
- Recipes with exact quantities, scaled to your household
- A combined grocery list, grouped and reorderable by aisle
- Substitution suggestions on ingredients that allow them
- Step-by-step cook mode with built-in timers
- Favorites, so the meals that landed come back
- Pantry tracking, so you stop buying cumin you already own
- Cooking stats and ratings
- Available in English, Norwegian and French

Start with a free week, then decide.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-18

• While your week or a meal is being made, a card shows a tip about something Grovbite can do, with a small moving picture, and a new tip every few seconds.
• Swapping a meal offers every protein your family eats again. A food you avoid, such as organ meats, no longer hides Chicken, Beef or Pork. A protein is left out only when an allergy or your avoid list names it.
• In French and Norwegian, the days in "Pick days to plan" now show in your language.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-14

• When a newer Grovbite is out, the app says so when you open it and takes you to the update. You can choose Not now.
• Before turning on notifications, the app asks and says why: a word when your week's plan is ready, and on a trial, a reminder before you are charged.
• Your credit balance updates the moment it changes, on every phone your family has the app open on.
• A meal whose photo could not be made shows a finished tile instead of loading stripes.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-05

• Fixes the app turning light when you came back to it with your phone in dark mode.
• Choices during setup now register every tap, even when you tap quickly. A cuisine, an allergy or a goal could stay selected after you tapped it off.
• Swapping a meal no longer offers a protein your family has ruled out.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-04

• Every recipe is now checked before it reaches you: against its own ingredients, its steps and what your family does not eat. You can watch the check happen while a week, a meal or a swap is being made.
• Tap your avatar and everything about your account is there, with no second screen to open.
• Theme is back, next to Language: choose Light, Dark or System.
• Cook mode remembers what you have put on the counter when you step out to the grocery list or the recipe.
• Generating several meals at once shows one banner, not one per day.
• Fixes a gap above the meal photo on a fast pull, a family list header that did not collapse, a build screen that shifted as its text changed, plan cards that showed the wrong member limit, and French text that ran out of its card on the Devices screen.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-30

• Swap a meal you have already shopped for and choose: cook around what you bought, or swap freely.
• Answer "Did you cook tonight's meal?" with Cooked it or Skipped, right from the notification.
• The "Tonight's groceries" reminder opens on that day in Groceries, and the next-week reminders open your plan.
• Once every meal is marked, you can wrap up the week on its last day.
• The week review and meal feedback now come in Norwegian and French.
• Fixes a rare crash when changing screens, a flicker at launch, a moved meal shown as skipped, a loading screen that could hang while a week was built, and French and Norwegian button labels that did not fit.
