## Description

Placeset plans the week's dinners to fit it — real per-serving costs, one merged shopping list, menus based on dietary preferences and goals, and cook mode with timers.

Dinner, planned to your actual grocery budget.

Most meal planners hand you recipes and let the checkout line decide what they cost. Placeset starts with the number on your fridge — your weekly or monthly grocery budget — and treats it as a hard constraint. Every week of dinners is solved to fit it, and every card carries a real per-serving cost.

Set your preferences once: cuisines, household size, allergies and tolerances, how long you'll actually cook on a weeknight, and your budget. Placeset plans from there.

WHAT'S FREE

• The weekly menu — six dinners planned as a set, not a pile of recipes. Refresh the week whenever you like; recently served dinners are held back, so you get a genuinely different week.
• Breakfast and lunch — opt in and they're planned and costed under one combined cap.
• A budget that holds — a live meter against your cap, per-serving cost on every dish, and cheaper swaps when the week runs long. Re-plan a single week under a different cap without touching your profile.
• One shopping list — every ingredient merged across recipes, scaled to your household, grouped by aisle. "Already have it" checkboxes take items off the list and free up budget. Planning two weeks at once? The quantities merge into one trip.
• Cook mode — steps written for a home cook, with concurrent kitchen timers.
• Nutrition — calories and macros from USDA FoodData Central, with targets scaled to each person in your household by age and sex.
• Budget tab — cost per dinner, spend by meal, four-week history, and your cap placed on the USDA Cost of Food ladder so you can see how it compares.
• Receipt scanning — photograph a grocery receipt to true up planned against actual and sharpen pricing for your area.
• Family — up to four people share one plan, and shopping checkmarks sync between them.
• Apple Watch — this week's recipes with timers on your wrist, and a shopping list you can check off in the aisle without pulling out your phone.
• Community recipes — browse what other cooks have published, and publish your own.

PLACESET PLUS

Everything above stays free. Plus adds the AI concierge:

• Ask for anything — reshape one night or the whole week in plain words. "Lighter Tuesday." "Friday feeds six." "Make it all Italian." Ask for a dish the catalog doesn't have and it writes the recipe to order — still priced, still on your list, still inside your limits.
• Occasion concierge — describe the evening and get an original three-course menu built for it, each course with its own full recipe, plus a merged shopping list and a run-of-show.
• Pantry-to-Plate — tell it what's already in your kitchen and get dinners that use it up.
• Sous-chef — ask mid-recipe what to do when you're out of something, on iPhone or Apple Watch.

Every AI change is re-checked against your budget, your tolerances, and your allergies before it can be applied. Allergies are never negotiable.

Placeset Plus is $4.99/month or $39.99/year with a 7-day free trial, and supports Apple Family Sharing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
