What’s for dinner tonight?
The family meal planner that finishes what it starts.
Every night the question lands. Every night you re-answer it. Same fridge, same family, same fatigue. You scroll three apps, abandon two recipe sites, and end up cooking the thing you always cook.
What’s For Dinner Tonight asks the question once and stays answered. Tell it what you have, what you’re in the mood for, who’s home, or just tap Suggest. It picks dinner from your library. Then it shows you exactly how to cook it.
Your library, your family, your kitchen — finally in one place.
From picking dinner to cooking it
Most meal planners stop at “pick a recipe.” That’s the easy half. The hard half is everything after — knowing what you have, what you’re missing, how to actually make it.
WFD closes the loop. Tell it what’s in your fridge. It shows you what you can almost make and what you’re missing. Tap once and the missing ingredients land in your shopping list. Send the list straight to Apple Reminders. Print the recipe to the kitchen, AirDrop it to a tablet, or just read the steps right on your phone.
Every meal in your library has step-by-step instructions, even the ones you typed years ago. No recipe hunting. No “how did I make this last time?” The meal you pick is a meal you can actually cook tonight.
Built for the whole household
Add the people who eat with you. WFD respects allergies, diets, who’s home tonight, and who picked last time. Shared CloudKit households mean your wife sees the same Queue, the same shopping list, the same plan — without anyone having to “sync” anything.
The Apple Watch app lets anyone in the house log dinner without unlocking a phone. The widget on Home Screen shows what’s next. The voice mode lets you ask “what’s for dinner?” hands-free and get back a real suggestion in a real human-sounding reply.
Your data stays yours
WFD runs on your iCloud, not on a server we control. Your meals, your photos, your shopping checks, your family schedule — all of it lives in your private CloudKit container. We can’t see it. We don’t want to see it.
The AI features that auto-fill ingredients, suggest cooking instructions, and search photos use Apple Intelligence on your device, or call our recipe assistant API only with the specific question (no identifiers, no profile). The Worker logs the cache key hash, not the content.
What WFD isn’t
We don’t sell ads. We don’t share your library with anyone. We don’t algorithmically recommend brands. There’s no feed of trending dinners. There’s no community of strangers rating your weeknight pasta.
It’s an app that helps your family decide what to eat and then helps you cook it. That’s the whole thing.
If you’ve tried six recipe apps and still don’t know what’s for dinner, you’re our customer.
