It's 5pm and someone just asked what's for dinner. Again. Family Fork ends the nightly scramble. It turns the meals your family actually eats into a menu, helps you plan the week in minutes, and builds the shopping list on its own. YOUR MENU Most families cook the same fifteen dinners. Put yours on a menu, sorted the way you think about food: quick weeknight stuff, weekend cooking, freezer standbys and the take-out you always come back to. Adding a meal takes seconds. Paste a recipe link, snap a photo of a cookbook page, or just type "spag bol". Family Fork fills in the photo, ingredients, steps and cooking time for you. KIDS GET A SAY Kids can suggest meals for the menu and dinners for the week, in their own purple handwriting. You stay in charge: one tap locks an idea in, one tap passes. And when someone won't touch the fish, they can pick their own plate for that night without derailing dinner for everyone else. No kid accounts, no kid email addresses. You create their profiles and they join with a code. THE WEEK, PLANNED Plan seven dinners in a couple of minutes, or get suggestions when you're out of ideas. Add a note to any night ("defrost the mince", "Dad home late"). Tonight's dinner is always one glance away, on the Tonight tab or the home screen widget. ONE LIST, EVERY PHONE The shopping list builds itself from the week's plan, grouped by aisle. Tick things off together in the supermarket and they disappear from everyone's phone in a second or two. Or share it as plain text in one tap. THE DETAILS • Recipes stay attached to meals, with a clean step-by-step view • Mark the meals each person loves • Budget tags for keeping the week honest • Take-out nights are dinners too, no guilt • Changes sync to the whole family almost instantly Family Fork Premium is a subscription with a free trial, and one subscription covers the whole family.
