First, a definition
A meal is not a recipe.
It is a name, and the things that go in it. That is the whole editor.
PhotosStepsCook timeServingsNutritionRatings
- You already know how to cook. This is for the shopping.
- 131 starter meals — Chicken pasta, Beef stir-fry, Fish bake — and no amounts at all.
- Amounts are optional everywhere. Ground beef is a complete entry.
- Sides are their own meals. Chicken with rice is a cell, not a recipe.
How it works
Three steps, and one trip.
The list forms from the meals
- Every meal on the plan becomes its ingredients.
- Merged by item — three meals wanting a tomato is one line, and three tomatoes.
- Open a line to see which meals asked for it.
- Counted the way you buy: two bags, a pack, a loaf.
Shop the next 3, 5 or 7 days
- Pick how far ahead the trip covers.
- Ordered the way you walk your own shop — you set up nothing.
- Shopped Monday, shopping Thursday? It leaves out what Monday covered.
- Tap as you go. Works with no signal.
On iPad
Watch the list happen.
Six days across, and the shopping beside them. Drop a meal on Thursday and its ingredients are on the right before you have let go.
Privacy

Questions
The rest of it.
Can I add things that are not food — shampoo, nappies, cat food?
Yes. Shampoo, deodorant, nappies, cat food, bin bags — 34 non-food items ship in the catalog, and anything missing you type once.
No meal will ever put toilet paper on a list. These live in Regulars instead, on one of two cadences — every trip, or when needed — and one tap adds one to the list you are working.
Do I have to sort anything into aisles?
It learns the order of your shop. Not by asking you to sort things into aisles — by noticing the order you tick things off.
There are no categories in OneList and no setup screen. The order is kept per shop, and a line in the wrong place is one drag to fix.
What about salt, oil, and the rest of what we always have in?
Mark an item We keep this at home and planned meals stop putting it on the list.
Everything held back collects in a You already have these section at the foot of the list. One tap adds it back for this trip; one swipe, for good.
Will it tell me when something is running out?
It offers; it never adds. OneList reads the gaps between your own purchases and puts at most three due items at the top of the list.
Each one says why it is there — Usually every 5 days — and nothing reaches a list without a tap.
I shopped on Monday. Can I shop again on Thursday?
Thursday's list leaves out what Monday's trip already covered, meal by meal and item by item.
Every list carries a collapsed section naming exactly what it left out, and a switch that puts it back.
Do I have to type amounts?
No. Ground beef is a complete entry, and the 131 starter meals carry no amount at all.
Give one where it helps and matching amounts merge into a single line, counted the way you buy — two bags, a pack, a loaf. A recipe in decilitres stays in decilitres.
Can two of us work one list?
A household is one plan, one list and one walk through one shop, shared with everyone at home. The owner pays and the members never do.
Each member reads the same household in their own language — English or Finnish today.
Do we have to plan breakfast, lunch and dinner?
No. Those three rows are only the ones you start with. Settings → Meal Slots renames them, reorders them, adds a fourth, or removes one you do not use.
Under each name is a row of seven days saying when auto-fill uses that slot — lunch at weekends only, if that is your week. You can still plan a meal on any day.
Does it decide what we eat?
No model and no remote service picks a meal here. Auto-fill arranges meals the household has planned before, shows you the mix, and writes nothing until you accept it.
It never invents a dish.
Does it need an account, or a signal?
Neither. There is no login, no sign-up and no server of ours. It lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud.
A trip works with no signal at all.
What happens when the free 30 days end?
One thing stops: generating a new list. Working a list you already have, resuming a trip, syncing your own devices and being a member of someone else's household stay free forever.
Everything you typed stays readable, and Settings → Export household writes the lot to a file — subscription or not.
Anything else is at support, where a person replies.
