What's for dinner, already planned.
Plannie's meal planner sits next to the family calendar: share a recipe link and it becomes a planned meal with a photo and ingredient list, one tap away from a shared grocery list every household member can check off from their own phone.
From a link to a planned meal
Paste a link from a recipe blog or site and Plannie pulls in the photo, title and ingredient list as a planned dinner for the day you assign it - no retyping a recipe by hand. Recipes stay in a household library, so a meal that worked once is one tap away next time.
REALISTIC WEEKLY WORKFLOW
- Check which nights are actually free to cook versus which need something quick.
- Plan five or six dinners, not seven - leave room for leftovers.
- Send ingredients to Groceries with one tap.
- Swap a meal mid-week and the grocery list updates with it.
A grocery list that stays current
The grocery list isn't a static export from the meal plan - it's a live, shared list. Any household member can add, remove or check off items from their own phone, and items added straight from a meal plan carry a small badge showing where they came from. Beyond groceries, the same list engine handles packing lists, project lists and anything else worth sharing, with sub-lists, covers and reminders.
Frequently asked
How does the grocery list get built?+
Ingredients from any planned meal push to a shared grocery list with one tap - nobody re-types a shopping list from a recipe. The list updates in real time on every household member's phone, so whoever's shopping sees exactly what's needed.
Do I have to plan every meal?+
No - most households plan dinners only and leave breakfast and lunch as repeats. Plan what actually removes decision fatigue, not a complete seven-day grid.
How does a recipe link become a planned meal?+
Paste a recipe link into the meal planner and Plannie pulls in the title, photo and ingredient list as a planned meal for whichever day it's assigned to - no manual re-entry.
Is there a limit on the Free plan?+
Free includes lists and meal planning with starter limits - up to 10 items per list and 20 dishes in your meal library. Nothing already added is ever deleted if you hit a limit; Premium removes it. See full plan details on pricing.
