Will You Be Home For Dinner

Families with adult children living at home face a small but daily friction: nobody knows who is eating dinner tonight. Parents cook too much or too little, kids feel guilty for forgetting to text, and everyone sends the same messages over and over.

Will You Be Home For Dinner is a purpose-built family coordination app that answers one simple question: who is eating together tonight?

By giving every family member a private, shared calendar, dinner attendance is always visible. No more scrolling through noisy group chats to figure out portion sizes. Each family member simply opens the app, sets their plan for the day with a single tap, and everyone else can see it instantly. Parents don't over-cook, kids don't forget to communicate, and the family stays connected.

KEY FEATURES • Dinner Plans at a Glance: A scrollable week strip shows everyone's status for the day. It is colour-coded so you can read the whole week in seconds. • Four Simple Statuses: Home for Dinner, I'll Cook Dinner, Not Home, or Not Sure Yet. • Multi-Day Planning: Planning ahead for your work schedule? Select multiple days and set your status for the entire week in one go. • Guest Tracking: Bringing someone home? Add a guest count when setting your status so the chef knows exactly how many plates to set. • Notes: Add a short note to any response, like "Late meeting" or "Vegetarian tonight." The app saves frequently used notes as quick-pick suggestions. • Family Chat: A simple, private message thread dedicated entirely to dinner logistics, recipes, and grocery requests. • Events & Reminders: Import family events directly from your device calendar so everyone can plan around birthdays and holidays. Daily reminders keep the routine going.

DESIGNED FOR SIMPLICITY & PRIVACY • Minimum Taps: Setting a dinner response takes just one tap from the home screen using the floating action button. • No Accounts Required: Families are connected privately through Apple's CloudKit infrastructure. Just share a link to invite the household. • Your Data is Yours: Data is stored privately in your iCloud, never on a third-party server. • Offline-First: Dinner plans load instantly from a local cache and sync in the background, meaning the app works flawlessly even with a poor connection.

One tap. Everyone knows. Dinner sorted.
