Stop asking "what's for dinner?" every single night.
Simmer builds a weekly plan around your tastes, your schedule, and what's already in your fridge — then turns it into a grocery list in one tap.

Planning that bends to your life, not the other way around
Most meal planners give you a rigid template. Simmer learns how you actually eat and plans around the real week ahead.
Calendar-aware
Late meeting Thursday? Simmer sees it and swaps in a 15-minute dinner. Hosting Saturday? It scales up and adds a dessert.
Shop where you shop
Lists are grouped by aisle for your store, with live price estimates. Send it to Instacart or your partner in one tap.
Dietary needs, handled
Vegetarian Monday, a nut allergy in the house, and a kid who hates mushrooms. Set it once; every recipe respects it.
Zero-waste by design
Buy a bunch of cilantro for one recipe, and Simmer finds two more that week to use it up. Leftovers get a second life as tomorrow's lunch. Our users report throwing away 60% less food.
Three minutes on Sunday. Done for the week.
No recipe browsing rabbit holes. Simmer does the thinking so you can just cook.
Tell us about your table
Who's eating, what they love, what they won't touch, and how much time you realistically have on a Tuesday.
Review your plan
Get a full week in seconds. Swipe to swap anything. Simmer re-balances the rest so nothing goes to waste.
Shop and cook
One grocery list, sorted by aisle. Step-by-step cooking mode with timers that run in parallel.
People who used to dread 5pm
"We were spending $1,100 a month on groceries and still ordering takeout three nights a week. Two months in, we're at $700 and actually eating together."
"I've tried every app. This is the first one that noticed I had a work dinner Wednesday and just… didn't plan a meal for it. Small thing. Huge difference."
"My partner is gluten-free and I'm vegetarian. Simmer finds overlap I never would have, and when it can't, it plans one base with two toppings. Genius."

Things people ask before they start
Do I have to cook every night? +
No. Tell Simmer how many nights you want to cook and it fills the rest with leftovers, planned takeout, or "fend for yourself" nights. Many users plan four dinners and let the week breathe.
What if I don't like a recipe it picks? +
Swipe it away and you'll get an alternative that still fits your week. Simmer also learns from this — reject mushrooms three times and they quietly stop showing up.
Can my whole household use one account? +
Yes. Household and Chef plans let everyone in your home see the plan, check off groceries, and mark what they ate. Each person can have their own dietary profile.
Does it work with my grocery store? +
Aisle sorting and price estimates cover most major US and UK chains. You can also export your list to Instacart, Walmart, Amazon Fresh, or just share it as plain text.
What happens when my trial ends? +
You drop to the free Starter plan automatically. No surprise charges, and you keep every recipe and list you've saved.
