Tablelark

Description

Tablelark plans the week and shops for it.

Say what you are eating, the way you would say it to someone at the counter: "chili Sunday for 6, oats weekdays for breakfast, pasta with pesto and peas Tuesday lunch." Tablelark works out the days, the meal, the headcount and what you will need to buy. All of that reading happens on your phone or tablet.

The List Writes Itself

Every planned meal adds its ingredients. Two cans of tomatoes in one dish and two in another become one line of four. Grams and kilograms, cups and tablespoons, cans and bunches are combined sensibly, and your region decides whether you see metric or US units. Items are grouped by store aisle in the order you actually walk, and you can drag the aisles to match your own supermarket.

It Learns Your Store

Move an item to another aisle once and Tablelark remembers. Mark salt, oil or flour as a pantry staple and it stops cluttering the list but stays one tap away under "already in your pantry".

Suggestions From Your Habits

Tap an empty slot and see what fits: the dish you usually make on Fridays, something you have not cooked for three weeks, a quick meal for a busy weeknight, or a way to use up the spinach in the fridge. The ranking is simple arithmetic over your own history. Nothing is uploaded. "Fill my dinners" drafts the empty evenings of a week and keeps the proteins varied.

A Cookbook Written for This App

Thirty-five original dishes with ingredients, timings and short methods, from sheet-pan salmon to coconut dal. Change the number of servings and every amount follows. Add your own dishes by typing ingredients as you would on paper.

See the Week's Balance

Rhythm shows how many dinners are planned, the mix of proteins, the time you will spend at the stove, and a plain-English read-back such as "chicken two nights running".
