Every night, the same question: what's for dinner? For most families, it's not really about the food. It's about the logistics. Who can eat what. Who won't eat what. What's already in the fridge. Whether you have 20 minutes or an hour. Whether your kid will actually touch it. DinnerTable builds your family's weekly meal plan around the things that actually matter: allergies, dietary needs, picky eaters, your schedule, and what your family genuinely likes to eat. BUILT IN SAFETY, NOT AROUND IT Most meal apps treat allergies as a filter you check once. DinnerTable treats them as architecture. Anaphylactic and autoimmune conditions are hard-filtered. Recipes that could hurt your family never appear. Intolerances get flagged with clear warnings. YOUR FAMILY, NOT A GENERIC HOUSEHOLD Set up each family member with their own dietary profile. Allergies, intolerances, conditions, dislikes. The plan generator weighs all of it together, so the meals it suggests actually work for everyone at the table. PICKY EATERS WELCOME We don't pretend your seven-year-old is going to eat shakshuka. DinnerTable adapts recipes for kids: milder flavors, familiar textures, smaller portions. The feedback system learns what they'll actually eat, so plans get smarter over time. PLANS THAT THINK AHEAD Weekly meal plans generated for your family. Themed nights if you want them (Taco Tuesday, Pizza Friday). Weeknight meals stay quick. Weekend meals get more room. Swap anything you don't like with one tap. GROCERY LIST, DONE Your plan turns into a grocery list automatically. Ingredients are merged across recipes. Check items off as you shop. COOK MODE Step-by-step instructions with built-in timers. Hands-free, big text, easy to follow while you're actually cooking. FEEDBACK THAT MATTERS After dinner, quick thumbs up or down from each family member. Over time, DinnerTable learns what works and stops suggesting what doesn't. 450+ recipes and growing. Works offline. Free to use.

Allergy-Safe Meal Planner & Recipe Builder is the calm, all-in-one way to feed a family with many different dietary needs — safely, and without cooking three separate dinners. Create a profile for each person (up to 8) with their allergies, intolerances, medical conditions like celiac or diabetes, food preferences and dislikes. Then choose who's at the table and let the app do the hard part. ONE PLATE, CHECKED FOR EVERYONE The Safe-Plate cross-check reads every recipe against the combined restrictions of everyone eating and shows a clear Safe / Caution / Conflict verdict for each person — in plain words, with the exact reason and a safe swap. It even catches the tricky conflicts, like a gluten-free flour that spikes blood sugar for someone with diabetes. PLAN THE WEEK, BUILD THE LIST - Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the days and people you choose - Generate an aisle-sorted shopping list, scaled to who's eating - Save your own recipes or get AI-drafted ones — every ingredient is re-checked for safety before it's shown - Keep a library of hard-to-find specialty foods and where to buy them FAMILY TABLE PRO (optional subscription) Free stays generous — up to 3 profiles, unlimited safety checks, daily planning and full shopping lists. Pro removes the limits: - Up to 8 family profiles - Unlimited AI recipe & meal-plan generation - Auto-plan a full safe week - Weekly safety & nutrition insights Pro is $5.99/month or $39.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Your subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. This app supports safe meal planning and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
