Is PrepWeek a weekly recipe planner app?

Yes. PrepWeek helps you plan meals for the week by choosing the dinner nights that need coverage, grouping nights that can share a recipe, and building one grocery list from the selected meals.

Plan the week you really have

A weekly dinner planner that starts with your actual schedule.

PrepWeek helps you plan only the dinner nights that need cooking. Mark evenings for plans, leftovers, or takeaway, group the remaining nights around practical recipes, and keep the whole week easy to change.

Schedule first

Stop planning seven separate dinners when you do not need seven.

A useful weekly meal planner should reflect how people actually cook. Some evenings need a fresh dinner. Some can share one batch. Others already belong to plans, leftovers, or eating out.

PrepWeek begins with that structure. You choose the nights that need coverage, then decide how many meal groups should span them. A recipe can cover adjacent nights without pretending every day needs a separate idea.

Meal groups

Connect cook days, portions, and leftovers.

Each meal group pairs one recipe with the consecutive dinner nights it covers. That gives PrepWeek enough context to scale the ingredients and keep the grocery list aligned with the plan.

Mon–Tue

Cook once for two nights

Choose a batch-friendly recipe and prepare enough portions for the nights assigned to that meal group.

Wed

Leave a night off-plan

Takeaway, dinner out, or planned leftovers stay visible as intentional choices rather than gaps to fix.

Thu–Fri

Start the next batch

A second recipe can cover the next stretch of the week with its own ingredients and portion guidance.

What the plan gives you

A dinner plan that stays useful after Sunday planning.

The Current Plan is not just a calendar. Each meal stays connected to the details needed to cook and shop for it.

Recipe details in context

Open the meal from the plan to see ingredients, timings, nutrition, and practical portion guidance for the amount you are cooking.

A grocery list for this plan

Ingredients from the selected meal groups are combined into one categorized list instead of copied between recipe tabs.

Preferences for future weeks

Household size, dinner style, cooking effort, flavour preferences, and food exclusions shape later recipe choices.
