The Meal Planner showing the seventeenth to the twenty third of August with eighteen of twenty eight slots planned, each day laid out as breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack, some filled in and some left blank.
Eighteen of twenty eight slots filled, and the empty ones left empty.

How it works

  1. Eighteen of twenty eight

    Four slots a day across seven days. The header counts what you filled in and leaves the rest alone without suggesting anything.

  2. Straight to the shopping list

    One button at the top sends the week’s ingredients over, which is the only reason most of us plan meals at all.

  3. Out with Marta counts as a plan

    A slot takes whatever text you like. Leftovers, soup from the freezer and out with Marta are all good answers to what is for dinner.

Asked about Meal Planner

What is the Meal Planner module in Cadence?

What you plan to eat this week, and the shopping that implies. Four slots a day across seven days. The header counts what you filled in and leaves the rest alone without suggesting anything.

Can I switch Meal Planner off?

Yes. The library in Settings has a switch beside Meal Planner, and turning it off takes it out of the sidebar, the search and the Today screen. The other 26 switchable modules work the same way.

Does Meal Planner sync between the Mac and the iPhone?

Yes, once iCloud sync is unlocked for $14.99, paid once and covering the Mac and the iPhone together. Until then Meal Planner keeps its data on the device you typed it into, and it goes nowhere else.

Keep Meal Planner. Ignore the other twenty five.
