Rosemary & Rice

Dinner, decided in a flick.

An app for the question a household asks every evening. It keeps the household's cookbook, deals the next four days of dinner, and lets you flick away anything that does not suit. Start a household, share its code with the people you cook for, and everyone sees the same week.

The plan

Four days, dealt at once.

The plan screen: a two by two grid of four days, each with a recipe photo, its name, and that day's calendar events, above a Next button.
Days 1 to 4 Each with its recipe and the evening's events.
The grid
The next four days sit in a two by two. Each one is dealt a random recipe from the household's cookbook.
The flick
Flick a card away and another recipe takes its place, with a little physics.
The foot of the card
Deal another recipe, find a particular one for that day, or leave the day blank for a night out. Set one card down on another and the two dinners trade places.
The calendar
Each day shows the household's calendar events, so a busy evening gets an easy dinner.
Undo
Flicked the wrong card? The arrow in the title bar takes back the last ten changes.
The tabs
The days run along the bottom, named by weekday. Tap the next four and the week is saved; the basket opens the shopping list.

In the app

Getting a recipe in, and finding it again.

Three screens the rest of the week runs on.

The import screen: a shared recipe previewed with its photo, name, description, ingredient and step counts, above a Save button.
Import A shared page, read and ready to save.
The recipe screen: a large photo, the recipe name, serves and times, a Dinner tag, a description, and the ingredient list.
Recipe Photo, serves and times, ingredients, method.
The search screen: a partial query in the search field with matching recipes listed below it, and the keyboard open.
Search The library, narrowed as you type.

How it fits

One cookbook for the household.

The import screen after saving: the same recipe now marked Saved, with a View recipe button.
Saved One tap, and it is in the library.
Households
Sign in, start a household, and hand its code to whoever cooks with you. Everyone in it shares the cookbook, the week, and the shopping list. Friends start households of their own.
Android and iPhone
Built for both. Recipes arrive through the share sheet from whatever app you found them in, and a home-screen widget shows tonight's dinner.
Yours to keep
Your cookbook, photos and plan live on Rosemary's own small service, and nobody outside your household sees them.
