A family meal planner the grocery ads can't see.
Your household's diet is medical data, cultural data, and household-budget data in one. An app doesn't need to know it.
Meal-planning apps sit at an awkward intersection: they know your health goals, your food restrictions, your kids' allergies, and how much you spend at the shop. An offline version does the plan and the list, and forgets the rest exists.
One file: plan, recipes, list
The meal planner, the recipe box, and the grocery list live inside The Household Purse — or as standalone tools if that's all you want.
Allergy notes stay in the file
Add allergies, intolerances, or ARFID notes right in the recipe. That's medical information; it lives in the file, on your laptop, and nowhere else.
Sunday planning without the loyalty card
Groceries you buy weekly become a template. The list prints. Nobody serves you an ad for the discount cereal you almost bought.
What to reach for
Common questions
Can the whole family add recipes?
Yes — the file lives on the family laptop or in a shared folder. Anyone with access can add a recipe.
Does it suggest recipes?
No — deliberately. Suggestion engines are the surveillance part. You reach for what you know.
Can I export the grocery list to my phone?
Save the file to your phone, or e-mail the printed list to yourself. No app required.
What if we're vegetarian / halal / celiac?
The file is yours. Tag your recipes however you like.
