Lunch Sorted

Our daughter started kindergarten and the lunch packing nearly broke me. I wanted it balanced. I wanted it healthy. I also wanted her to eat it, in the twenty minutes she gets to sit down. Most nights I was standing at the counter with the fridge open, out of ideas. So I built this. A WEEK OF LUNCHES PLANNED IN A MINUTE Answer three questions and you get five planned lunchboxes: a main, a side, a fruit and a sweet for every school day. Not a random shuffle. Something crunchy against a soft main, protein when the main is light, something sharp to cut the salt. Re-shuffle the whole week, or individual boxes if needed, or just switch out one item. NOTHING TO SET UP FIRST There is no food library to build before you get anything back. It starts with foods most kids eat and you adapt from there. Take out the options they refuse, and add more from a long list of ideas. On the Household plan you can write in that pickle roll-up only your kid will eat or add a recipe you found online. YOUR SCHOOL'S RULES BUILT IN Nut free, seed free, dairy free, no microwave, no ice pack, a short eating window, no chocolate, or set your own. Set them per kid, per school. A food that breaks a rule gets flagged in your list, so you always know why something stopped showing up. THE SHOPPING LIST WRITES ITSELF Everything you planned across all kids, in one list, grouped by aisle. Send it to Notes, to Reminders, or as a text to whoever is nearer the store. RECIPES BUILT INTO THE FLOW A Recipes tab houses tried and true kid-friendly recipes and the ability to import your own via link or paste. When it's time to cook, the app walks you through, one step on the screen at a time, with the amount of each ingredient that step calls for right underneath it, so you're not scrolling back mid-mix. Add it to food lists per kids preference and it automatically plans it and creates the shopping list. BUILT FOR MULTIPLE KIDS Simplify shopping by matching all kids' lunchboxes, while honoring each school's rules with alternative options. Kids with wildly different preferences can have totally different lunchbox plans. You choose your setup, and one shopping list still covers them all. LET THEM PICK Kids who help plan their lunches eat more of them. We have all seen it. Hand your kid the phone the night before and let them choose between two options within the week's plan. Everything they are choosing from is already on the shopping list, so there is nothing new to buy and nothing to renegotiate at seven in the morning. WHAT CAME HOME Tell it what got eaten and what came back. Next week leans toward the things that actually get eaten and puts on hold the ones that keep coming home untouched. EVERYONE WHO PACKS Sign in with your email. No password to remember. Add your partner, a grandparent, a nanny, or anyone else who gets lunches out the door on a busy morning. It works online and off. FREE: Planning the week, the shopping list and the pack list are free for good, for one lunchbox. Build the food list from a long list of ideas, with two kid-tested recipes to cook from, take out the ones they refuse, and set your school's rules. THE PAID HOUSEHOLD PLAN: Add your own foods or bring in a recipe from anywhere, let them pick, track what came home, a shopping list that remembers what you already have at home, more lunchboxes and sharing with another parent. Every new household gets all of it free for three weeks, no card. Anything you added in those three weeks stays yours. In this app the plan is an in-app purchase, yearly or monthly, at the price the App Store shows; the launch price is a founding price, kept for as long as you stay subscribed. Both plans renew automatically until you cancel them in your Apple Account's subscriptions.
