PlateJar: Meal Planner

Seven dinner slots, one tap, one grocery list grouped by aisle. Leftovers nights, pantry smarts, and portions that scale to your family. Private, on-device.

The week's dinners, planned in five minutes, shopped in one trip.

PlateJar turns "what's for dinner" into a filled board and a single grocery list. Plan seven dinners, point one night at leftovers, and walk into the store with everything merged, counted, and grouped by aisle.

A BOARD FOR THE WEEK

• Seven dinner slots, plus an optional lunch row when you want it.
• Tap a slot, pick a recipe, done. Today is always highlighted.
• Leftovers planning: aim any night at a meal cooked earlier in the week. Cook once, eat twice, buy nothing extra.

ONE TAP, ONE LIST

• Make grocery list merges ingredients across every planned meal: 1 cup here and 2 tbsp there become one clean line.
• Grouped by aisle in store-walk order: produce, dairy, meat and fish, pantry, frozen, bakery, other.
• Check items off in the store with a satisfying strike-through.
• Add your own extras; they survive every rebuild of the list.
• Share the list as plain text or export a printable PDF.

A RECIPE BOX THAT STARTS FULL

• 12 family classics with real ingredient lists are included, so your first week plans itself.
• Quick entry for your own meals: name, servings, ingredients with quantity, unit, and aisle, optional steps, a photo, and tags.
• Search and tag filters find the right meal fast.

PANTRY AND PORTIONS (PRO)

• Mark the staples you already have; in-stock items never land on your list.
• Set your family size once and every list scales to it, with clean kitchen fractions like 1 1/2 cups.
