## What is HappySpoon?

Every meal this week, already decided. HappySpoon plans your household's breakfasts, lunches, and dinners around your goals — and builds the shopping list to match.

THE NIGHTLY SPIRAL, RETIRED
Set your rules once — "high protein," "no pork," "quick weeknights," "dairy-free breakfasts." HappySpoon turns them into a full week of meals in about fifteen seconds. No more 5pm scramble, no more recipe rabbit holes.

ONE PLAN FOR THE WHOLE TABLE
Invite your partner or family with a single code. Everyone sees the same week, live — swap a dinner, mark a meal eaten, and every phone stays in sync.

A SHOPPING LIST THAT WRITES ITSELF
Each week's list builds itself from the plan — organized by aisle, in amounts you actually buy: 4 bell peppers, 2 lb chicken, 2 dozen eggs. Check things off together at the store and watch progress update in real time. Meals you've already eaten drop off the list automatically.

PORTIONS THAT MATCH YOUR HOUSEHOLD
Tell HappySpoon who's at the table — adults and kids — and everything scales: servings, amounts, batch nights that cook once and feed you twice, even school-day lunchboxes.

EVERY MEAL, READY TO COOK
Tap any meal for ingredients with amounts and clear, numbered steps. Not feeling it? Swap it — start from your own idea ("something quick with salmon"), ask for a surprise, or reach for a favorite.

SIMPLE BY DESIGN
45 minutes or less per meal. Short ingredient lists. One shopping trip a week. Print the week and stick it on the fridge.

FREE TO START
Your first two weeks of AI planning are free — and planning by hand is free forever. HappySpoon+ unlocks unlimited AI generations and planning any week ahead: $5.99/month or $49.99/year, cancelled anytime in your account settings.

Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. No ads, no tracking — your table's data stays yours.
