Meal planner + grocery list

A family meal planner where the grocery list builds itself.

Drop recipes into the week. Ingredients flow into the shared grocery list, sorted by store department. On Pro, send the whole list to Kroger as a ready-to-pickup cart in one tap.

One family account · No credit card · Free forever

Meal planning fails at the same place every time: writing the grocery list. You decide on tacos Tuesday and chicken Thursday, and now you have to walk through each recipe, write down what you don't have, and remember it at the store. By Wednesday you're ordering takeout.

FamilyDash links the meal planner to the grocery list directly. Add a recipe to a day, and its ingredients land in the grocery list — grouped by department (produce, dairy, frozen) so you walk the store in order. Adjust servings, swap a recipe, edit a quantity; the grocery list updates to match.

Free includes the meal planner, recipe box, grocery list, and department sorting. Pro adds recipe scanning from a photo or TikTok video, auto-fill meal planning (one tap fills the week from your history), and one-tap Kroger cart checkout. $4.99/month or $34.99/year, 14-day trial.

Drop a recipe → grocery list updates

Drag a recipe onto a day in the weekly planner. Ingredients auto-populate the shared grocery list, grouped by store department, with quantities scaled to your serving count.

Recipe scanning from photos and TikTok — Pro

Point your camera at a cookbook page or paste a TikTok URL. The recipe lands in your box in seconds, ready to drop into the planner.

Auto-fill the week from your history — Pro

One tap fills the week with recipes you've made before, balanced across cuisines and proteins. Grocery items are pre-generated. Useful for the Sunday-afternoon planning rush.

One-tap Kroger cart — Pro

Send your grocery list to Kroger as a ready-to-pickup cart. Saved product preferences mean you confirm 'yes, the Land O'Lakes butter' once, then never again.

Department-sorted grocery list — free

Produce, dairy, frozen, household. The list shows in store-walking order so you're not zigzagging. Adjustable per store — different layouts for Target vs. Kroger vs. Whole Foods.

Shared across the whole family

Anyone in the household — parent, partner, sitter, teen — can add to the grocery list from their phone. Updates land everywhere in real time, including on the fridge-mounted tablet.

Common questions

Does FamilyDash do meal planning and grocery list in one app?+

Yes — they're directly linked. Add a recipe to a day in the meal planner, and its ingredients automatically flow into the shared grocery list, grouped by store department. Edit servings, swap a recipe, or remove a meal — the grocery list updates to match. Both are free; Pro adds recipe scanning and Kroger checkout.

Can FamilyDash send my grocery list to Kroger?+

Yes, on Pro. Connect your Kroger account once (OAuth flow), pick your store, and the 'Send to Kroger' button turns your list into a Kroger cart ready for pickup or delivery. Product preferences are saved per-household so you don't re-confirm the same butter brand every week.

What if I want to use Instacart or Walmart instead of Kroger?+

FamilyDash's product preference system is provider-agnostic and we're working on Instacart (we applied for the API in April 2026 and are waiting on the dev key). For now, Kroger is the only one-tap option. The grocery list itself works perfectly with any store — just check items off as you go.

Can I scan a recipe from a TikTok video?+

Yes — Pro feature. Paste the TikTok URL or share-sheet it into FamilyDash. The video's captions and audio get transcribed and the recipe (ingredients, steps, cook time) lands in your recipe box, ready to drop into the meal planner.

What's free versus Pro?+

Free: meal planner, recipe box, grocery list with department sorting, shared across all family devices. Pro ($4.99/mo or $34.99/yr): recipe scanning from photos/TikTok, auto-fill meal planning, one-tap Kroger checkout. 14-day Pro trial included.
