Built for realistic cooking
Less weekly decision fatigue, more dinners that fit.
PrepWeek is focused on dinner planning, batch-friendly meal groups, recipe detail, portion guidance, and shopping list check-off. It stays narrow so the weekly workflow stays fast.
Cook once, cover multiple nights
Plan meals that cover Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, or whichever stretch fits your week.
Recipes that fit real weeknights
Choose from practical dinners that respect effort, preferences, exclusions, and the nights you have available.
Private by default
Your plan, shopping list, favorites, and recipe signals stay on your device. No account required to get started.
What makes it different
Built for dinner, not food admin.
Not a calorie tracker
PrepWeek helps you decide what to cook for dinner. It does not turn weeknight meals into logging, scoring, or macro math.
Not a recipe pile
Recipes are connected to nights, portions, cooking effort, and one shopping list, so you are not left with saved ideas and no plan.
Not a rigid calendar
Real weeks change. PrepWeek works around off-plan nights, repeat meals, leftovers, and the dinners you actually want covered.
Dinner-only and local-first
The app stays focused on evening meals and keeps your planning data on your device by default.
Cook from the plan
Recipes stay useful after you pick them.
Open a meal group for recipe detail, scaled portions, ingredients, and focused cook mode when it is time to prep.
