DinnerLogic
DinnerLogic is a web-first meal planner for households. Plan the week around supper, add recipes by hand or URL, generate shopping lists, and share a Family Group when more than one cook needs the calendar. Free use stays in the browser with no account — data lives in localStorage on that device. Paid plans add sign-in, cloud sync, and realtime. Curated recipe roundups stay on dinnerlogic.com; the planner stays on app.dinnerlogic.com.

Planned around supper, because that is the meal that goes wrong
Most meal planners ask you to fill in three meals a day for seven days and then quietly become abandoned software by week two. Breakfast and lunch are habits; supper is the decision that gets made at 5:40 in front of an open fridge. DinnerLogic puts supper first and treats the other two as optional.
It also accepts the honest states of a week. A day can be Cook, Eat Out, Leftovers, or Skip/TBD. A planner that only allows recipes forces you to lie to it, and a plan you have lied to stops generating a useful shopping list.
Free tier that is genuinely usable
The free plan is the full personal planner with no account at all. Data lives in localStorage on that device, which means no sign-up friction and no email address collected — and also that clearing site data clears the plan. That trade-off is stated up front rather than discovered.
Paid plans add sign-in, cloud sync across devices, and realtime updates. Pro Family adds groups of up to six with invite links, which is the feature that matters when two people cook and one of them is at the store.
How the pieces are split
The planner is a web app at app.dinnerlogic.com and installs as a PWA. Curated recipe roundups live separately on dinnerlogic.com. DinnerLogic has its own privacy policy and terms covering accounts and Family Groups — this domain's policies do not govern it.
Questions people ask before buying
Do I need an account to try it?
No. The free planner runs with no sign-up. You only create an account if you want sync or a Family Group.
How does the trial work?
Seven days free on paid plans. A card is collected at checkout and charged when the trial ends, so cancel inside the week if it is not for you.
How many people can share a plan?
Up to six per Family Group on Pro Family. Pro Personal can join a group someone else creates but cannot create one.
Can I import recipes from a website?
Yes, by URL, and you can enter them manually. Ingredients scale with serving count so a recipe written for four works for a table of seven.
