Check items off as you shop and share the full list as text, PDF, or CSV. — BUILT FOR YOUR FAMILY — Tell auMenu how many people are at the table and set dietary preferences (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, and more). Claude uses your household profile for every suggestion, so every meal is the right size and meets your family's needs. — BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED — Inspired by the Bauhaus design tradition — bold colours, clean geometry, and nothing that doesn't need to be there.
