Family Meal Planner - Kangaroo
Weekly Dinner Menu & Groceries
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Nothing planned for tonight? Tap Pick tonight's dinner, answer two or three quick questions, and get one meal that fits your time and uses the most of what's at home.
Dinner, decided, from the meals your family already eats.
The cooking is the easy bit. Deciding is the job. Kangaroo Kitchen fills your week from your own meals, keeps every pick inside the rules of your table, puts quick meals on your busy nights, and turns the plan into one grocery list you both share.
FILL MY WEEK Tap once and every empty night gets a dinner, each with a plain reason: "Only 15 minutes hands-on", "No cooking tonight", "Mostly from your pantry". Meals you haven't had in a while come up first, and nothing repeats inside two weeks if your meals allow it. Keep a pick, shuffle one night, or pick your own.
START WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY MAKE Swipe through familiar dinners: right for the ones you make, left for the ones you don't, up for anything you'd try. Your yeses become your meals, so the first week plans itself in about a minute. You can also save recipes from a free library of real, tested recipes with photos, import one from a link, or type in the ones you make by heart.
THE RULES OF YOUR TABLE Four quick questions set up who you cook for: how many people, allergies, diets, and the things nobody will eat. We never suggest a meal with an ingredient on your allergy or diet list. Matching works on ingredient names, so always check labels.
BUSY NIGHTS Mark a night busy, or let your iPhone calendar do it. Busy nights only get quick, no-cook or slow cooker meals. Your calendar is read on your phone: the only thing sent to us is the date and how many minutes you have to cook. Event titles never leave your phone.
ONE GROCERY LIST, TWO PHONES The week's plan becomes one list, with quantities merged and scaled to how many you're feeding. Invite your partner with a code and you shop from the same list: tick something off on one phone and it's gone on the other. It works in the store without signal. Staples you always keep at home move out of the way so the list is what you actually need to buy.
YOUR MEALS ARE YOURS Export every meal as a file whenever you like. Delete your account from Settings and it's gone. No passwords: sign in with Apple, Google, or a code we email you.

Ratings & Reviews
We rebuilt Kangaroo Kitchen with Apple's own tools. After you update, sign in once more, the same way as before, and your kitchen is all there: your meals, your plan, the grocery list and your pantry.
The app now works like the ones that came with your iPhone. Swipe a planned night to change or clear it, pull down to refresh, and text follows the size you set on your phone. It runs on iPad too.
New: Pick tonight's dinner. Nothing planned and it's 5 pm? Tap it on the Plan tab. Say how much time you have, answer a question or two, and get one meal that fits. If you keep a pantry, the pick is the meal you can make with the most of what you have. Cook this tonight puts it on the plan. It needs a connection.
New: the first time a kitchen opens the swipe deck, the first card shows how to swipe. Right is a meal you make, left is not for you, and up is one you'd try. Tap How to swipe to see it any time.
If your calendar marked your busy nights, turn it on again in Settings > Busy nights from your calendar. The busy nights you already have stay as they are.
