What’s for tea tonight?
Answered. All week. Dinner, sorted.
A weekly dinner planner for households who already know what they like to cook —
and want the thinking taken care of.
Plan the week before the shop.
Five minutes on Sunday and you're done thinking about it. Seven nights, filled from the meals you already cook.
- Seven day-slots, starting whichever day your week does
- Quick options for real life: Dine Out, Takeaway, Ready Meal, Leftovers
- “Your usuals” — your favourites, one tap away
The shopping list writes itself.
When the week’s set, TeaTonight sends every ingredient to Reminders as a shopping list. Nothing forgotten, nothing bought twice.
- The full week’s ingredients, straight into the Reminders app
- Consolidated across the week — one list, ready for the shop
Tonight, at a glance.
You barely have to open it. Tonight’s tea is there when you do — and there before you even ask.
- Keep the week on your home screen — a glance is all it takes
- Ask Siri what's for tea — it answers, and shows you what you’ll need
- One daily reminder — and that's the only notification it ever sends
Your meals, not 10,000 recipes.
TeaTonight isn't trying to inspire you. It holds the rotation your family actually eats — and makes it easy to slip in something new when you fancy it. It turns out you only need about one new dinner every two or three weeks before the rotation starts feeling varied again.
- Add a recipe by typing — or just start with a name and add the rest later
- Starter recipes included, so it's never empty on day one
Every recipe, the same shape.
However a recipe arrives — typed or photographed — it comes out reading like everything else in your app.
- Prep sits in the ingredients — "1 onion, finely sliced" — so the chopping's done before you start
- Quantities repeat in the steps, so there's no scrolling back mid-cook
- Metric or imperial, scaled to however many you're feeding
- Add your own photo once you've cooked it
Nothing to sign up for.
Nothing keeping tabs on you.
There’s no account, so there’s nothing to create
and nothing to remember.
Your recipes and plans live in your own iCloud, not ours
— and on any other device you use.
No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no data sold.
There's nothing to sell.
The only thing that ever leaves your phone is a recipe you ask it to read.
It reads the recipe, not you.

Less than a few carrots a week.
Made by a parent, not a product team.
I’ve been cooking family dinners since my twin boys arrived — and I spent years trying to make the planning easier. Supermarket apps, meal planners, a battered notebook by the hob. Nothing quite fit.
So I built TeaTonight: exactly the tool I wanted, and nothing I didn’t.
Made with love, in England — and the approval of two very picky judges.
Dinner, sorted.
Free on the App Store.
This week’s teas, planned in the next five minutes.
