Some nights you don't need another recipe to scroll past. You just need to know what's for dinner. Simmmer helps you decide. Tell it how much time you have, how much energy you're bringing, and how much cleanup you're up for tonight, and it suggests a few meals that genuinely fit your evening — then walks you through cooking them, one calm step at a time. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Decide by your situation. Set your time, energy, and cleanup, and Simmmer ranks recipes by how well they fit the night you're actually having. • Cook hands-free. A full-screen cooking mode shows one step at a time, with the ingredients for that step right there, timers that keep running as you move ahead, and a screen that stays awake while your hands are busy. • Bring your own recipes. Paste a link from almost any recipe site and Simmmer turns it into a clean, follow-along recipe that's yours. No link? Snap a photo of a cookbook page or recipe card and it'll read that too. • Ask while you cook. Stuck on a substitution or a technique? Ask Simmmer a quick question about the recipe you're making and get a straight answer. • Tell it once about allergies. Set your allergens and dietary needs, and every search respects them — recipes that contain them simply don't appear, and anything you open by link tells you plainly what's in it. • Make any recipe your own. Tweak ingredients and steps, save your version, and keep it in your own collection. • The kitchen basics, done well. Search by voice, favorite the keepers into folders, switch between metric and US measures, and see nutrition scaled to the number of servings you're actually cooking. FREE AND PREMIUM Simmmer is free to use, with a daily search limit and a cap on saved recipes, imports, and AI questions. Simmmer Premium removes the limits and adds the weekly meal planner, offline downloads, accent colors, and longer nutrition and cooking history. Premium starts with a free week, so you can try all of it before paying anything. Simmmer Premium is an auto-renewable subscription. It begins with a 7-day free trial, then renews at $6.99/month or $59.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when the free trial ends, and each period renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancel during the trial and you are not charged. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.

Dinner, decided.
