"What should we have for dinner this week?" "I forgot to buy that again"—I created this iOS meal planning and shopping list app to tackle both of these problems at once.

What it can do

• Register a week's worth of meal plans all at once — A weekly calendar where you can decide dinner for Monday through Sunday in advance. You can also register multiple dishes for a single day.
• Shopping list created automatically — Automatically tallies the ingredients from your registered meal plans. Identical ingredients are displayed with combined quantities.
• Reuse from history — Dishes you've registered once are saved in your history along with their ingredients, so next time it's just one tap.
• Home screen widget — Check today's and tomorrow's meal plans at a glance (available in 3 sizes: Small / Medium / Large)
• iCloud automatic backup — Automatically saved with each edit. You can carry over your meal plans and cooking history even when switching devices.

What I focused on

• Runs completely offline (except for ad and in-app purchase communications). Private data like family meal planning stays on your device.
• Designed to copy ingredients at the moment you register a meal, so past meal plans won't change even if you edit a recipe later.
• Supports 5 languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, and Spanish. Light/Dark mode follows system settings.

Why I made it

I used to manage meal plans and shopping lists with Excel every week, and I wanted to make it easier. The habit at home of "deciding on meals first, then going shopping" became the screen design as-is. Forgotten items and wasteful ingredient purchases have decreased, and our food budget is now cleaner.

All basic features are free. Only ad removal is available as a one-time purchase for ¥300—there's no subscription.
