Meal Planner
Read full descriptionHide full description
Decide the week's meals once — then stop thinking about food until it's time to cook. MealPlan is a weekly meal planner, recipe book and grocery list in one: lay every breakfast, lunch and dinner out on a Monday-to-Sunday board, and the shopping list writes itself from whatever you planned. No account, no cloud, no calorie lectures. MealPlan works completely offline and keeps everything on your iPhone. It reads the ingredients out of every planned meal, merges duplicates — two dinners that both need onions become one line, not two — and sorts the result by supermarket aisle so you walk the store in order. WHAT YOU GET • The whole week visible at a glance — every breakfast, lunch and dinner on one Monday-to-Sunday board, as a compact grid or a day-by-day list • A grocery list that writes itself — ingredients pulled from every planned meal, quantities merged, grouped by aisle, ready to check off in the store • Next week planned in under a minute — copy last week's board in one tap, then auto-fill the empty dinner slots from your favourite recipes • Every recipe where you can actually find it — save your own with ingredients and steps, search, filter by category, mark favourites • Ideas when you have none — a built-in collection of curated recipes to browse offline and drop straight onto the board • Dinner starts on time — an optional evening reminder tells you what's planned and when to start cooking PERFECT FOR • Family cooks who answer "what's for dinner?" once on Sunday instead of every day at five o'clock • Meal preppers who shop once a week from a single, complete list • Couples splitting the cooking — the board settles who makes what before it becomes a debate • Anyone tired of buying an ingredient twice and still forgetting the one that mattered WHY NOT JUST USE A NOTES APP? A note can hold a list of dinners, but it cannot turn them into a shopping list. MealPlan does the tedious part for you: it extracts the ingredients from every meal on the board, totals the quantities, removes the duplicates and orders them by aisle. And next week, instead of typing everything again, you copy the whole board in one tap. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your plans, recipes and shopping lists never leave your iPhone. There is no account to create, no cloud upload, no ads and no tracking. The app is fully usable offline, and notification permission is only requested if you switch on a dinner reminder. FULL ACCESS MealPlan unlocks with a single purchase choice: Weekly, Yearly or Lifetime. Full access includes planning any week past or future, one-tap copying of a whole week, auto-filled dinners from your favourites, unlimited saved recipes and week-plan export — plus the planner board, the offline recipe collection, the self-building grocery list and your cooking insights. Prices are shown in the app before you confirm, and subscriptions can be cancelled anytime in your Apple Account settings. Download MealPlan, plan your first week tonight, and walk into the store this weekend with the list already done.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meal Planner at none against Matsystemet's 5. Matsystemet's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
