Meal planner and shopping list

Plan the week’s meals together

One meal plan and one shopping list for everyone at home. Tick things off in the shop and the rest of the family sees it straight away, privately through iCloud.

Free for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo with iOS 26 or later.

Everything for the week’s food, in one place

Household keeps the plan and the shop together, so nobody has to ask what’s for tea or whether there’s milk.

Today at a glance

See what’s for tea tonight, what’s still on the list and who else is planning or shopping right now.

Plan the week

Breakfast, lunch and dinner, or just the meals you want. Start the week on whichever day suits your big shop.

One shared list

Add items with a quantity and an aisle. Tick them off in the shop and everyone sees it, usually within seconds.

Your regulars

Meals you plan often and the things you always buy are remembered, so the usual shop is a tap away.

Recipes to the list

Search for a recipe without leaving the app and save it with a meal. Scale the servings, then add only the ingredients you’re missing. Cupboard staples are skipped.

Widgets

Tonight’s meal and what’s left to buy on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Add to the list from Control Centre.

iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo

Made for every screen in the house

Household works on iPhone and iPad, and makes the most of iPhone Duo’s folding display. Your plan and list are the same on all of them.

iPhone Duo, half-folded

Cook mode, stood up on the worktop.

The step stays upright and easy to read. The timer and big Back and Next buttons sit on the flat half, where your fingers are. The screen stays on while you cook.

iPhone Duo, open

Plan the week across the fold.

The week fills one side and your regulars the other, with nothing lost in the crease. Drag a regular meal onto any day to plan it.

Closed, it’s all still there. The whole app works on the outer screen, so you can tick things off in the shop and open it up at home to plan.

iPad

Tonight’s meal, the week and the list sit side by side in three columns, so the kitchen iPad can show the lot. Open a recipe next to the week, or prop it up for cook mode.

Works in any orientation and in resizable windows alongside your other apps.

Everyone can add meals and items. You’ll see who added what, and who’s on the list right now.

Private by design

Your household’s food, kept in your iCloud

Your plan and list live in your iCloud, and we can’t see them. Read the privacy policy.

No ads, no tracking, no analytics. We never see your plan, your list or how you use the app.
No new account. Your iCloud account is all you need, and your data stays in it.
Shared only with people you invite. Anyone can leave, and you can stop sharing at any time.

Questions

How much does it cost?: Household is free.
What do we need?: An iPhone, iPad or iPhone Duo with iOS 26 or later for each person, signed in to iCloud. Each person uses their own Apple Account, and the household is the same on all their devices.
Can I use it on my own?: Yes. A household of one works just as well, and you can invite people later.
Does it work with recipe boxes?: Yes. Search Gousto or HelloFresh recipes in the app, or save a recipe box link with a meal. Household marks it as a recipe box meal, so its ingredients aren’t added to your list.
Where do the recipes come from?: From the websites that publish them. Search results come from Brave Search, Gousto recipes from gousto.wiki (an unofficial archive) and HelloFresh recipes from HelloFresh’s own site. Household reads the recipe details each page publishes for search engines and keeps a link back to the original.
