How Middag works

A smart family dinner planner that learns your taste, respects your schedule, and gets better every week.

🚀
Getting started
›
1
Tap ✦ Plan week The AI plans 7 authentic dinners — Italian, Asian, Nordic, Mediterranean — rotated across the week. Quick meals Mon–Thu for sports evenings, something more relaxed at the weekend.
2
Select your cooking days Tap the checkbox on each day you're actually cooking. Only those days appear in your shopping list.
3
Go to Shopping Your ingredients for the selected days appear sorted by category — produce, meat, dairy, pantry. Pantry staples you've marked are hidden automatically.
4
Tap 📋 Share Sends the list to your iPhone Notes (or iMessage, WhatsApp). In Notes, select all and tap the checklist button to make every item tappable at the shop.
💡 Tip: Use −/+ in the header to adjust portions. All ingredient quantities scale automatically.
🍽
Meals tab
›
↺ Different recipe Expand a card and tap to get a fresh suggestion for that day only — same cuisine slot, different dish.
🔒 ＋ Add meal Type any dish name and pick a day. It gets locked — regenerating won't overwrite it.
⭐ Save a meal Tap the star to save a dish. Saved meals get suggested in future weeks automatically.
🍳 Cook tonight Opens a full cooking view with step-by-step instructions and built-in timers. Screen stays on.
👍 Rate the meal 👍 Kids loved it or 👎 Not a hit. The AI remembers and adjusts future plans accordingly.
🙋 What can I eat? If the family is having chicken but you don't eat it, tap this for a quick personal alternative.
💡 Select days: Tap the small checkbox on the left of each card to include that day in your shopping list and share.
🧠
How it gets smarter
›
★
Ratings build a preference profile Every 👍/👎 vote is remembered. The AI gradually leans toward cuisines and styles the family enjoys and steers away from what didn't land.
↻
No repeats across weeks The History tab stores your last 8 weeks of meals. The AI reads this every time you plan and avoids repeating the same dishes.
🌿
Seasonal produce The app knows it's spring in Stockholm. Meals are adjusted for what's in season — lighter dishes and fresh produce in summer, warming braises in winter.
♻️
Leftover logic After planning, if Sunday is a roast, the app asks if you'll have leftovers. Say yes and Monday's meal is planned to use them up.

Pantry & settings
›
1
Mark your staples Tap ingredients you always have at home — olive oil, soy sauce, eggs, pasta etc. They'll be hidden from your shopping list automatically.
2
Add your own pantry items Type anything specific to your kitchen — a spice mix, a sauce, anything you never need to buy.
3
What I don't eat Describe your personal dietary restrictions at the bottom of the Pantry tab. Used when you tap "🙋 What can I eat instead?" on a meal card.
💡 Budget mode: Toggle it on from the Meals tab after planning. The next plan will favour cheaper cuts — chicken thighs, lamb shoulder, canned fish, seasonal veg.
