Stop staring at the fridge on Tuesday. Spend 5 minutes on Sunday and the whole week is sorted.
Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner is pre-decided. No more 6pm "what's for dinner" panic. No more cereal-for-dinner nights.
21 meals / weekAll 21 meals collapse into one deduplicated shopping list, sorted by supermarket aisle. Buy in one trip. No more 4 separate parsley bunches wilting in the fridge.
30-50 items / weekThe planner favors ingredients in season where you are. Winter leans on root vegetables and stews; summer leans on cold dishes and quick stir-fries.
climate-awareThe algorithm ensures no main ingredient repeats within 3 days, and leftovers from one meal become ingredients for the next. Nothing goes to waste.
zero-waste by designEach week includes a balance of protein sources (red meat, poultry, fish, plant), vegetable-forward meals, and lighter options. No more carb-heavy weeks.
5 food groups coveredSingle and cooking for one? Plan shrinks. Family of 4? Quantities scale. Vegetarian Tuesdays? Toggle and the engine re-plans around it.
1-8 servingsNo more flipping through cookbooks or scrolling through 200 saved Instagram recipes. The planner spits out the full week, you skim it, hit "shop", done.
The merged shopping list only includes what your week's meals actually need. No more "I should try making that" impulse buys. No more wilted herbs.
Variety without thinking. A real Sichuan night, a light Cantonese lunch, a cold Shanghai dish on a hot day — all scheduled to make sense together, not random.

The planner front-loaded the week with quick stir-fries (avg 15 min), saved the slow braise and the big soup for Sunday afternoon. Total weeknight cooking: under 2 hours combined.
