Three things, three steps each

The food, the week, and actually getting out of the house.

Sort the meal prep

From a photograph of the shelf to dinner on the table, without the standing-and-staring bit in the middle.

About ten seconds

Photograph the shelf.

The fridge, a cupboard, whatever you have got. Everything in the picture comes back as a list to correct rather than one to type.

The bit that saves the evening

See what you can actually cook.

Your book sorts itself into what is cookable right now and what is one ingredient short, with the missing thing named rather than left for you to spot. One tap puts it on the shopping list, grouped by aisle so the big shop stops being three laps of the same supermarket.

Cook it, one step at a time.

Open the recipe and everything you already have is ticked. Cook mode shows one step at a time, big enough to read from across the kitchen, with a timer on the steps that need one and the ingredients a tap away.

Get on top of family time

Two people, one week, and nobody left holding all of it in their head.

Once, then it runs itself

Plan the week's meals in one go.

Plan the week fills the week's meals from your portions and your recipes, with one dish for everyone made to the youngest child's rules, and puts what's missing on the shopping list. A baby under 9 months still gets a meal of their own.

Both of you, one week

Nursery, pickups and swimming.

Who is doing Thursday stops living in one person's head. Turn reminders on and one message arrives the evening before anything is due.

Somewhere to take them.

Pick Family on Go out and you get real places near you and what is genuinely on this week, favouring the free ones and the ones that work with a buggy.

Conquer date night

The evening you both keep meaning to book, booked, from the sofa, in about a minute.

In your dressing gown, if you like

Ask for one good idea.

Real places near you and things genuinely on this week, learning from every more like this and every not for us until the ideas sound like your evening.

The bit we like most

Your partner gets a suggestion, not a summons.

Add the idea and a notification lands on their phone with two answers already on it. Sounds good, or not that night. Either way you have started the conversation without typing a word.

The point of all of it

Then ask the babysitter, from the same screen.

The message is already written with the date and the times in it. Pick who to ask and send it, and the whole evening took one conversation and two taps.

And the part we are strict about.

Log a reaction and that ingredient becomes a hard no. It comes out of every recipe the app puts in front of you from that moment on, tonight and every night after, including the ones you pick at half nine when you are shattered.

Fourteen allergens, tracked as you go, so you can see what has been introduced and what is still waiting for a calm morning.

Invite-only, for now.

We are letting households in slowly, so that when you write in, a person writes back.
