## What is Lilara?

Plan family dinners together. Build weekly menus, browse hundreds of beautifully photographed recipes, and generate a full week of meals in one tap with Smart Plan. Ask Siri what's for dinner tonight.

Built for busy households, Lilara makes it easy to organize breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the week ahead — all in one place.

Plan meals for the week
Create and manage weekly meal plans with ease. See upcoming meals at a glance and keep everyone aligned on what's planned, with a calendar and planner that feel naturally in step.

Shared meal planning for families
Lilara is designed for households and couples. Update meal plans anytime so everyone stays informed when plans change, with household profiles visually grouped so it's clear who plans together. Guided household setup walks you through adding everyone you cook for and inviting a co-planner.

Meals that suit your household
Tell Lilara about allergies, intolerances, and the foods your family simply won't eat. Your avoid list is respected everywhere — Smart Plan won't suggest them, and recipes containing them stay out of the way until you ask to see them. Change your goals, preferred styles, and avoid list any time in Settings.

A recipe library that grows with you
Browse hundreds of shared recipes with beautiful hero photography and save your own family favorites. Add one by pasting the text or importing a link, and Lilara pulls out the ingredients and steps for you to check. Share any recipe through a link.

Calories and nutrition, without the fuss
Recipes show calories, protein, carbs, fat, and more per serving, estimated from the ingredients. Open any day to see how the whole day adds up.

Smart, simple organization
A clean and flexible design keeps meal planning simple, helping you stay organized without unnecessary complexity. Smart Plan generates a week of meals in seconds — see what it took into account, swap anything that doesn't fit, then save.

On your Home Screen
A widget keeps today's and tomorrow's meals a glance away, with a tap straight through to your week.

Insights for your household
A refreshed Insights page shows what your family is cooking, sharing, and planning — calm patterns, not noisy stats.

Built for everyday life
Lilara focuses on reliability, privacy, and ease of use, giving families a calm and dependable way to plan meals together.

Start planning your meals with confidence using Lilara.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.89.0 — 2026-09-01

• Share your week — turn your meal plan into a beautiful card and send it to the family group chat. Pick your start day, choose a look, and share from the planner's new menu.
• Invite a family member to their own profile — when they join, they take over the person you already plan for instead of showing up twice.
• Smart Plan remembers where you left off. Leave the preview and come back later — your swaps and skips are still there, no need to generate again.
• Smart Plan now shows who it's planning for, so you can check the right people are covered before you generate.
• Upgrading to Pro feels smoother, with a clearer explanation while your purchase activates.
• Plus: new and edited recipes show up in search right away, signing in handles a stray space in your email address, the back button always finds its way home, and plenty of small fixes.

### 1.85.0 — 2026-08-19

• Every recipe now shows calories and nutrition per serving, estimated from its ingredients — and each planner day adds the whole day up for you.
• Add a recipe by pasting the text or importing a link. Lilara pulls out the ingredients and steps for you to check, and creating one is now a short guided flow you can leave and come back to.
• Set an avoid list — allergies, intolerances, and the foods nobody in your house will touch. Smart Plan never suggests them, and recipes containing them stay hidden until you tap to show them.
• New Meal preferences screen in Settings: change your goals, preferred styles, and avoid list whenever they change.
• Setting up now asks which meals you actually plan, so breakfast, lunch, and dinner match your household from day one.

• The planner's day strip now scrolls across your whole planning window.
• Roomier planner, recipe, and Smart Plan layouts that use more of the screen.
• Plus: deleting your account now signs you out cleanly, the family shortcut takes you into household setup if you don't have one yet, and plenty of small fixes.

• A redesigned Home Screen widget — color-coded meal icons, today and tomorrow at a glance, and a tap straight through to your week.
• Adding a recipe to a day now opens that day's existing meal instead of creating a second one.
• Setting up your household is now a guided flow — add everyone you cook for, then invite a co-planner. Reachable from Settings or straight from the meal screen.
• Planner, Smart Plan, and meal settings now live where you use them: view options in the planner, Customize in Smart Plan, and a new defaults sheet on a meal.
• Create a recipe from anywhere in Recipes, including while you browse Discover.
• Shopping list fixes — no more gray blocks over items on iOS 26, and sharing your list works every time.
• The recipe picker now fills the sheet properly at any height.
• Fixed a problem that could sign you out unexpectedly.
• Plus the plan-saved confirmation no longer hides behind the tab bar, and plenty of small polish.

• Ask Siri what's planned — just ask and Lilara tells you tonight's meal.
