Meal Planner App, Grocery List, Recipe Organizer, Pantry, Food Budget — SIMMER: SUPPER, SORTED

Simmer is a digital meal planner for your phone and computer that answers "what's for dinner?" before anyone asks. Plan a weekly meal plan from the recipes your family already loves, and the grocery list writes itself — amounts added up, sorted by aisle, with what each item costs. Your recipe organizer shows the cost per serving of every meal, the pantry tells you what to use first, and the food budget keeps groceries and takeout in check. A family meal plan, recipe book, shopping list, menu planner and meal prep planner in one private place — no account, no ads, no subscription.

AT A GLANCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Included: the Simmer app (private link + QR), a 15-page Start Here PDF, a bonus ZIP with 7 kitchen worksheets, 6 boards and 5 wallpapers.
• Intended audience: busy families, couples, single cooks and meal preppers — anyone tired of asking what's for dinner, writing grocery lists by hand and throwing out forgotten food.
• Planning frequency: daily (tonight's dinner and when to start cooking) and weekly (menu, groceries and food budget).
• Customizability: your own recipes, shopping day, dinner time, meals you plan (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack), theme nights, weekly budget, currency and US or metric units, 3 themes.
• Personalization: your kitchen name on every printed menu and list, your household's diets and foods they skip, your own staples.
• Mechanism: add a few recipes once, then plan the week — Simmer adds up the ingredients into a grocery list, checks your pantry, works out costs and suggests meals for empty nights. Works offline; link phone + computer with a 6-digit code.
• Reusability: use it every week, all year — your recipe box grows with you. Worksheets print as often as you like.

• Care: your recipes and plans stay private on your devices; export a backup now and then (one tap in Settings).

WHY SIMMER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most meal planners are lists you still fill in by hand. Simmer does the thinking with you:
• It knows tonight: the dinner on the plate, who it suits, and when to start cooking so it's ready on time.
• The grocery list writes itself: 3 + 4 + 4 cloves of garlic become 11, cups and tablespoons are combined, and what's already home is ticked.
• You know what meals cost: every recipe shows its cost per serving, and the week shows what the plan will cost.
• Less food in the bin: use-by dates turn into "use it first" nudges with your own recipes that use it.
• Real life is allowed: eating out, leftovers or too tired? The week bends — fresh meals move first, nothing is lost.

GOOD TO KNOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Works in any modern browser: Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox. No Excel, Notion, Goodnotes or Google Sheets needed.
• Ingredient costs are optional — add them once and every list after uses them.
• Simmer doesn't read recipe websites for you: copy the recipe text and paste it in. That keeps it private and working offline.
• A planning tool, not nutrition or medical advice. Diet tags are labels you set; always check food labels for allergies.
• For personal use: one household per purchase.
• Pairs well with our budget planner, savings tracker and cozy life planner apps in the shop.
