Your stress-free dinner solution!
Menu Planner was built by a dad from Vestfold, Norway — a self-taught IT guy who always has something on the go. One evening he found himself with a Raspberry Pi and no real plan for what to do with it. So he thought: "There must be something useful I can make with this."
His family of five — mum, dad and three kids — had the same problem every other family with children has: what are we having for dinner this week? What started as a hobby project quickly became something the whole family actually used every week.
This isn't just our problem. This is every family's problem.
So Menu Planner became what it is today — an app built for families who want to spend less time wondering what's for dinner, and more time actually enjoying the meal together.
Every week the same question: "What should we eat?"
Menu Planner solves that by giving you:
It makes weekly planning simple, fast, and actually fun.

Menu Planner is one of many projects. Want to see what else is in the works?
No more staring into the fridge wondering what to cook tonight. Menu Planner helps your family plan a whole week of dinners in under 5 minutes — so you can spend more time actually enjoying them. The app is built around adding your own recipes, but we've got ready-made recipe packs you can use as a template or temporary solution in the meantime. Here's all you need to know:
Click + Add Recipe to save your household favourites. They'll show up in future menus — just the way you like it.
Click Generate Menu in the top bar. Pick your categories, hit Generate, and just like that — your dinners are planned for the whole week!
Regenerate as many times as you like — it's instant and free. The app remembers what you've had recently, so you always get good variety.
Go to Settings → Pantry. We've pre-filled it with common household staples — look it over, remove anything you don't actually have, and add anything you do have that's missing. Everything listed here gets automatically greyed out on your shopping list, so you don't buy what you already have.
Click Shopping List after generating your menu. Everything you need for the week, all in one place. At the very bottom of the list, you'll see what got filtered out because it's in your pantry — double-check you actually have it all before you head out. Take the list to the shops and enjoy your weekend.
Go to Settings → Recipe Packs to quickly fill your household with dinner ideas — handy as a template or temporary solution while you add your own recipes (see step 1). Note: imported recipes are sized for a family of 4 — adjust quantities to match your household.
