Meal Planner

The weekly grid lets you assign meals to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack slots for each day. Build your meal library once — save any meal with its ingredients — then drag cards onto the grid or click a cell to pick from your library. Meals can appear in multiple slots across the week.

The shopping list aggregates all ingredients from planned meals, deduplicating by name and unit. For example, two recipes each calling for 1 cup of onion appear as "2 cup onion". Ingredients with mismatched units (e.g., "1 cup" and "200g" of the same item) are kept separate since they can't be summed reliably. Assign categories to ingredients — Produce, Dairy, Meat, Pantry, Frozen — to keep your shopping list organised by store section.

Printing gives you a paper copy of the week: the plan as a day-by-day table for the fridge, and the shopping list — with a tick box beside every item — on its own page for the shop. Only the meal slots you actually used are printed, so a dinners-only week is one narrow column rather than four. Choose landscape when a full week of long meal names needs the extra width. Printing a week with nothing planned gives you a blank grid to fill in by hand. Your browser's own print command produces the same output as the Print button.

All data is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB, so your meals and plans persist across sessions without any account or server. The planner keeps a separate plan for each week, so you can navigate back to past weeks to reference what you cooked.

Export backup writes that whole database — every meal, and every week you have planned — to a single JSON file you can keep or copy to another device. Importing it there gives you two choices. Merge keeps what is already on the device: a meal whose name you already have is matched rather than duplicated, so re-importing the same backup twice does not double your library, and a week planned on both devices ends up with both sets of meals. Replace clears the device first, so it becomes an exact copy of the backup. Either way the planned weeks keep pointing at the right meals — the internal ids are rewritten on the way in, because they are only ever meaningful on the device that issued them.
