Dinner, answered. Dished is the home for every recipe your family loves and the fastest way to turn them into a week of dinners. Save recipes from anywhere, get a plan built around your household in seconds, and shop from one grocery list. Give yourself your evenings back. SAVE RECIPES FROM ANYWHERE • Paste a link from any recipe site or food blog • Snap a photo of a cookbook page or a handwritten card • Paste a recipe you keep in Notes, a text, or an email • Paste a TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube link and Dished watches the video and writes the recipe down • Type your own in by hand • Moving from Paprika or Recipe Keeper? Bring your whole collection over, photos included Every recipe lands in your vault with ingredients, steps, and tags, ready to plan. A WEEK OF DINNERS IN SECONDS Tell Dished who is at your table, what they will and will not eat, and how much time you have on a weeknight. It builds a plan from your own recipes, mixes in new ideas when you want them, and lets you swap, lock, or remove any night. Busy evening? Dished keeps those nights to quick dinners. MY FREEZER Keep track of what's in your freezer, including meals with no recipe, like the lasagna a friend dropped off. Put one on any night with a tap, and Dished takes the servings out once it's eaten. ONE GROCERY LIST, SORTED BY AISLE Every plan becomes a single list, grouped by aisle, with quantities combined across recipes. Check things off as you shop, add your own items, and keep pantry staples off the list. COOK FROM THE RECIPE The screen stays awake while you cook, and every timed step becomes a timer you can start with one tap. Timers keep running if you leave the recipe, or the kitchen. DISHED REMEMBERS After dinner, a quick three-tap check-in: again soon, fine, or not again. Dished learns what your family loves and plans around it. PLAN TOGETHER Invite your partner or anyone who cooks in your house. You share one recipe vault, one plan, and one grocery list, so whoever is at the store has the list and whoever is home knows what's for dinner. Add the kids to the table without giving them an account, and Dished keeps track of who loved what. TONIGHT, AT A GLANCE A home screen widget and Siri answer the nightly question: what's for dinner? YOUR RECIPES ARE YOURS Dished is a home for your family's recipes, not a rental. If you ever stop subscribing, you keep the app and every recipe you've saved. Made for busy parents who want to spend less time deciding and more time at the table. Privacy Policy: https://trydished.com/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://trydished.com/terms.html

That structure follows Apple’s recommendation of a concise introductory paragraph followed by a short presentation of the app’s major features. I intentionally left subscription prices out because Apple recommends avoiding specific prices in the description; regional pricing can differ and Apple already displays pricing separately. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
