03
Shop once, cook easy
A grocery list sorted by aisle, synced with your household, or sent straight to delivery. Step-by-step cook mode does the rest.

Features
Smart where it counts. Quiet everywhere else.
Pantry-aware planning
Snap your shelves or scan receipts. Simmer knows you already have rice and half a jar of tahini, and plans around them first.

Budget mode
Set a weekly cap. We'll hit it, using local store prices.

average weekly savings*
Leftovers, on purpose
Cook once, eat twice. Monday's roast chicken becomes Wednesday's tacos, planned from the start.
Everyone's preferences
One kid hates mushrooms, one partner is gluten-free. Simmer juggles it so you don't cook three dinners.
One-tap delivery
Send your list to Instacart, Walmart or Kroger, or share it with whoever's doing the shopping.
Cook mode with timers
Big-text steps, screen stays awake, and timers start themselves, so you never touch your phone with garlic hands.
Gentle nutrition
Optional macro targets and a weekly balance view, with no calorie-shaming and no guilt. Just more vegetables, sneakily.
*Based on a 2026 survey of 2,100 Simmer Plus members, compared to their spending before Simmer.

Fewer 6pm panics. More actual dinners.
"I used to spend Sunday evenings building spreadsheets. Now I spend them doing literally anything else."

"The leftover planning is genius. We throw away maybe a third of what we used to."

"Vegetarian, a celiac partner, and a toddler. Simmer is the first app that didn't make me choose."

FAQ
Good questions.
Do I have to cook every night?
Not at all. Choose how many nights you want to cook, and mark nights for eating out or leftovers. Simmer only plans what you need.
Can it handle allergies and dietary restrictions?
Yes. Set allergies (nuts, shellfish, gluten and more) and diets like vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, low-FODMAP or halal per person. Allergens are hard filters and never just suggestions.
Where do the recipes come from?
Our in-house test kitchen develops and tests every recipe at least three times. You can also import recipes from any website or snap a photo of a cookbook page.
Can I share plans with my partner or roommates?
Everyone on a Household plan sees the same week and the same live grocery list. Check something off in the store and it disappears from their phone too.
What happens if I cancel Plus?
You keep your saved recipes and drop back to the Free plan. No hoops, no "are you sure?" maze, and you can cancel in two taps from settings.
Your next five dinners are already figured out.
