Here's what's new in beanies.family for 3 september 2026 — improvements to help your family plan, track, and stay organised.
Plan the family's week of meals, see who is cooking at a glance, and print it for the fridge.
New features
Meal plans are here!
Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks across the whole week. Drop a recipe onto a day, say who is cooking, add a serve time or a guest, and mark it off once it is made. When the week is set, print or share it as a one-page sheet for the fridge.
Colour now means the bean
Everywhere a card appears, on the calendar, the wall, to-dos and lists, it is coloured by the bean it belongs to rather than by the kind of activity. The activity keeps its own emoji to say what it is, so one glance tells you whose it is. An event shared by two beans blends both their colours.
Birthdays look like birthdays
A birthday, an anniversary or a celebration now stands out wherever it appears, with a scatter of beans across the card. Open one and the beans come down to meet you.
