Meals

Plan the week's dinners on your phone, see them on the wall, and take the grocery list to the shop. Meals live in one shared list, so the phone and every display always agree.

1. Put a meal planner on a screen

In the editor, drag Meal Planner from the Personal group onto a screen. Its views are in the module's settings: the whole week, today, the next meal, a compact strip, and a list. The Full-Screen Meal Planner fills the screen with a week, a day, a menu board, or the next meal.

The planner is empty until you add meals, which happens on a phone.

2. Build a meal library

Open the family remote (Settings > On your phone shows the address), tap Meals, then Library. Add the meals your family actually eats: a name and an emoji are enough. Prep time, difficulty, servings, a recipe link, notes and tags (quick, healthy, vegetarian) are all optional, and ingredients are what feed the grocery list later.

3. Plan the week

Under Plan, tap a day and a slot and pick a meal from the library. Three shortcuts fill a week fast: Copy Last Week, Suggest (random picks from the library), and Clear.

This Week shows the result, and arrows move to other weeks. The wall updates a few seconds after you save.

4. The grocery list

Grocery builds a shopping list from the ingredients of every meal in the week you are looking at, grouped by aisle. Tap an item to tick it off; ticks show up on every phone and stay with that week's list, so next week's list starts fresh. Share sends the unticked items to your phone's share sheet, or copies them if sharing is not available.

You cannot type straight into the list. To add something, add it as an ingredient to a meal in the library.

Settings

The gear on the Meals tab, and the Meals page in the editor's Settings, edit the same things: which slots you use (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack), which day your week starts on, the default time for each slot, and whether times show as 12-hour or 24-hour (or follow the household setting under Location & language). They are shared, so a change on the phone changes every meal planner on every display.

Recipes on the wall

A meal with a recipe link does more on a touchscreen: tap it and the wall shows a QR code that opens the recipe on your phone, or opens the page right there on the display.
