The Meal Planner (under 🌳 the Treehouse) lays your week out as a board — days across the top, meals down the side. Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner and as many snacks as you like, say who's cooking, and share the whole thing with the family.
Add a meal
On a computer, drag a recipe from your cookbook straight onto a day. On a phone, tap a slot and pick one. If the recipe is not in your cookbook yet, just type its name — beanies adds it as a quick recipe you can fill in later.
- Who's cooking — assign a cook; it shows on the meal and in that person's daily briefing (no phone reminder in this version).
- Who's eating — pick family members, and add guests by name for the night someone's over.
- Eating out, leftovers or skipping? — drop one of those in instead of a recipe. No recipe needed.
Mark a meal cooked
Open a planned meal and tap Mark cooked. beanies opens the cook-log so you can give it a quick rating — that entry is saved to the recipe's history, so your cookbook remembers how it went.
Copy a week & share
Had a good week? Tap Copy last week to reuse it — meals and cooks come across, ready to tweak. You can also open any past week from the arrows and copy it forward. Tap Share to send the plan to the family over WhatsApp, Messages or wherever you chat.
- Share — turns the whole week into a friendly one-page picture and hands it to your phone's share sheet, so you can drop it straight into WhatsApp, Messages or email.
- Export as PDF — saves the same one-page week as a PDF, perfect for printing and sticking on the fridge.
Copying a week replaces whatever was already planned in the target week — beanies warns you first. Anything you'd already marked cooked keeps its history. The picture and PDF are made on your device — nothing about your plan is uploaded to make them, and they always show the whole week (not a single day).
