The week's dinners, planned in five minutes, shopped in one trip. PlateJar turns "what's for dinner" into a filled board and a single grocery list. Plan seven dinners, point one night at leftovers, and walk into the store with everything merged, counted, and grouped by aisle. A BOARD FOR THE WEEK - Seven dinner slots, plus an optional lunch row when you want it. - Tap a slot, pick a recipe, done. Today is always highlighted. - Leftovers planning: aim any night at a meal cooked earlier in the week. Cook once, eat twice, buy nothing extra. ONE TAP, ONE LIST - Make grocery list merges ingredients across every planned meal: 1 cup here and 2 tbsp there become one clean line. - Grouped by aisle in store-walk order: produce, dairy, meat and fish, pantry, frozen, bakery, other. - Check items off in the store with a satisfying strike-through. - Add your own extras; they survive every rebuild of the list. - Share the list as plain text or export a printable PDF. A RECIPE BOX THAT STARTS FULL - 12 family classics with real ingredient lists are included, so your first week plans itself. - Quick entry for your own meals: name, servings, ingredients with quantity, unit, and aisle, optional steps, a photo, and tags. - Search and tag filters find the right meal fast. PANTRY AND PORTIONS (PRO) - Mark the staples you already have; in-stock items never land on your list. - Set your family size once and every list scales to it, with clean kitchen fractions like 1 1/2 cups. PLAN FASTER, COOK CALMER - Plan my week fills your empty dinner slots from the recipe box in one tap, favorites first. - Star your favorites so the meals you love lead the box and the auto plan. - Cook mode turns any recipe into full screen, keep-awake steps with the scaled ingredients on hand. - Kitchen insights show how much you cooked this month, your household staple, and your variety. - Back up your recipes, plan, and pantry to a file you keep, and restore anytime. FREE AND PRO Free forever: plan one week at a time and keep up to 15 of your own recipes (the starter pack never counts against you). PlateJar Pro unlocks unlimited recipes, unlimited weeks, pantry staples tracking, family portion scaling, and Kitchen insights.
