Weekly Menu Shop: Shopping Run

New: tap + on any day to see just that day's ingredients, and build your own reusable My Lists for any store run.

Weekly Menu Shop turns your dinner plans into a shopping list, without the busywork.

Type out what you're making each day, Sunday through Saturday, in plain language. No dropdowns, no rigid recipe database to search through, just write it the way you'd tell someone else. The app reads what you typed, matches dish names to ingredients using a built-in dictionary covering nearly 300 dishes across 19 cuisines, and builds your shopping list automatically.

Every item on the list is tied back to the day it's needed for, so when you're at the store, you know exactly which night that bag of tortillas is for.

On This Week's Menu, tap the + next to any day to see just that day's ingredients, right under the meal you typed. Checked items stay crossed off, so you can see what's left to buy for Thursday without scrolling the whole list.

My Lists keeps your own shopping lists next to your weekly ones. Start a list for a warehouse run or a farmers market trip, then reuse it whenever you go back. These lists are free.

Backup & Restore saves everything on your phone to a single file. Keep it in Files or send it with AirDrop, and restore it on a new phone to bring everything back.

Don't see a dish in the dictionary? Teach it. Add your own dish once, and it's remembered from then on, right alongside the built-in ones, and takes priority if there's ever a naming overlap.

Save your plan and the shopping list generates at the same time, one tap. Come back next week, update a few meals, save again, and your list updates in place. Already checked off half the groceries from a mid-week trip? Those checkmarks stay put. Editing your menu doesn't wipe your progress.

No accounts. No sign-in. No cloud sync. Nothing about your weekly meals or your shopping habits ever leaves your phone. This app was built to do one thing well: turn "what are we eating this week" into "here's what to buy," as simply as possible.
