No more daily "what's for dinner?". Amamable builds a 3–14 day meal plan from your own trusted recipes and turns it into a ready, summed-up grocery list with one tap. ONE-TAP MEAL PLAN Pick the number of days and the app schedules breakfasts, lunches and dinners — no repeats, portions for the whole family. Choose your own recipe pool or let the app decide. GROCERY LIST STRAIGHT FROM THE PLAN Ingredients from all planned meals are summed and scaled to your household size (kg↔g, l↔ml). One list for the whole week instead of three store runs. Works fully offline. SHARED SHOPPING Share your list with a partner or family by e-mail and check items off together. SHARE RECIPES AS A LINK Share any of your recipes as a public link. Anyone can open it in the browser without an account — and with the app installed, add it to their menu with one tap. ALLERGENS UNDER CONTROL Set your family's allergens once — the plan automatically skips every recipe that contains them. STARTER PACKS FROM REAL COOKS Start with curated packs of proven dishes from Amamable Cooks — real, verified authors, not a generator. Every recipe links to its author's profile. MEAL CALENDAR List, week or month view. Move and swap meals by hand — the generated plan is a starting point, not a verdict. FOOD BUSINESS MODE Running a small restaurant or catering? Switch to Business mode: a daily menu instead of home meal slots, with portions counted as servings to prepare. ZERO AI IN PLANNING Amamable deliberately uses no AI to build your plan. The same user and the same date always produce the same plan — no hallucinated recipes, no made-up ingredients on your list. Predictable, repeatable, honest. Available in 21 European languages — including English, German, French, Spanish, the Nordic languages and Ukrainian. Sign in with e-mail, Apple or Google. Delete your account any time, directly in the app. Questions or feature ideas? Write to: info@amamable.com
