Coming soon to Android

What sounds good tonight?

A meal planner that cooks with what’s already in your kitchen

Tell it who’s eating and when you need to eat. Simmer looks at what you have, remembers what you had this week, and comes back with a few ideas that fit the evening, plus a recipe and a schedule for the one you pick.

Tell me when it’s out

One email when it’s on Google Play. No mailing list.

Uses what you have
Knows who’s eating
Fits the time you’ve got
Takeout counts too

The home screen: Good morning! What sounds good for breakfast? with choices for the meal and when you want to eat

For the five o’clock question

Everyone’s hungry, nobody can decide, and the half bag of spinach in the fridge isn’t getting any younger. Simmer is built for that ordinary weeknight, not for the dinner party.

An hour until practice and four people to feed
Shrimp in the freezer and no plan for it
One kid who only eats plain rice
The same three dinners, on repeat
Something new, but not a project
Pizza again? Maybe that’s fine tonight.

1
Tell it about your house, once
Who’s eating, their ages and allergies, what nobody will touch, and the places you order from. Skip anything you like. It learns as you go.
2
Say what you need
Breakfast, lunch or dinner, when you want to eat, and what you’re in the mood for. A few taps and no typing.
3
Pick one and get a plan
A recipe with times on it, swaps for anything you’re out of, and a separate plate for the picky one.

Take it for a spin

Tap through a mealtime the way the app does it. Pick a meal and when you want to eat, choose an idea, and watch the schedule work back from when you want to eat.

Change “When do you want to eat?” and see which ideas still fit
Tap an ingredient with ⇄ for swaps
Tap “We made this!”, then look in the kitchen

The ideas and the kitchen here are samples, the same every time. In the app, the ideas are written fresh for your household and what you actually have.

Ideas from your kitchen, not from a cookbook

Every idea says why it fits. The shrimp thaws in fifteen minutes and the rice is already in the pantry. It’s a family favorite you haven’t made in three weeks. If something needs picking up, it tells you before you commit.

Nobody wants to type in their whole kitchen, so you don’t have to. The list fills in as you cook and shop, and it talks in “some” and “running low”, not in grams.

Two dinner ideas, shrimp fried rice and chicken parmesan, each with the reason it fits, the time it takes and anything to pick up

A recipe with a clock on it

Pick an idea and you get a schedule that works back from when you want to eat: when to start thawing and when to start cooking. The meal stays on your home screen until you’ve made it, and a reminder can nudge you when it’s time.

If someone eats differently, their plate is right there in the recipe: plain rice with the broccoli for the nine-year-old, set aside before the sauce goes in.

It keeps track, so you don’t have to

Tap “We made this!” and it updates the kitchen and remembers what you had, so tomorrow’s ideas aren’t today’s again. Favorites still come back around, just not every night.

Coming next: take a photo of the fridge, the pantry or a grocery receipt, and it adds what it finds for you to check.

The little things

Out of something?

Tap an ingredient for swaps from what you have, and what each one changes about the dish.

Make it or buy it

Canned biscuits or from scratch? It knows how you usually do it and plans the time to match.

Takeout counts

Tell it about the taqueria up the street. On a night with no time, picking something up is a real option.

How do you want it?

When steak or chicken is the main event, pick a style, with a homemade rub from your own spice rack.

Allergies are rules

Allergies and the “nobody eats this” list are checked against every idea by the app itself, not left to the AI’s good intentions.

Light and dark

Cream and terracotta by day, warm and dim at night. It follows your phone.

Straight answers

When is it coming out?: There’s no date yet. Right now one family cooks with it every day while we smooth the rough edges. If you want to hear the day it lands, send us an email.
Which phones?: Android 8.0 or newer. There’s no iPhone version planned for now.
Is it AI?: Yes, the ideas and recipes are written by an AI model. The rules are not. Your allergies, the time you have and what’s in your kitchen are checked by the app itself, so a creative idea can’t quietly break them.
Can I rely on it for allergies?: It checks every ingredient it names against your list. It can’t catch what isn’t named, though: store-bought pesto can contain nuts without the word “nuts” appearing anywhere. Read labels the way you always do.
Do I have to enter everything in my kitchen?: No. Start with nothing, or with whatever you think of. The list grows as you cook, and anything it isn’t sure about it simply asks.
Does it plan the whole week?: Not yet. Today it’s one meal at a time, which turns out to be when the question actually gets asked. Planning ahead is on the list.
How much will it cost?: That isn’t decided yet. We’ll say plainly on this page before it launches.

Not out yet

Simmer is cooking. It’s coming to Google Play for Android phones, and we’ll share more here as it gets closer.

If you want to know the day it goes live, send us an email and we’ll let you know. That’s the only thing we’ll ever use your address for.
