A warmer household planner

Development candidate · November 11, 2026

• Warm paper colors, clearer text and filing-style tabs give your household a consistent layout.
• Common page actions keep their names on phones. Task filters open when you need them.
• Add groceries directly to your list and keep typing the next item.
• Desktop navigation shows the pages inside Plan, Kitchen and Money together.

Household records and shopping

Development preview · November 10, 2026

• Undoing a grocery checkoff restores its purchase status, including whether it was already put away.
• Refreshing a school or family calendar keeps the assigned person, child and packing checklist.
• Opening an older backup keeps more of its spending, schedule and shopping details.
• Shared bill imports check editing access when saving. Account deletion also clears your private bill import history.

Today’s tasks and schedule

November 9, 2026

• Today shows a due task and its owner at the top. When two timed plans need the same person, you can see both names and the overlapping time before opening the calendar.
• Find tonight’s dinner, your grocery list, and upcoming bills together. Household members with view-only access can follow the dashboard links.
• When a dinner change affects a manually added grocery, Review item takes you to its confirmation. You can still review the full changes and undo a saved adjustment.

Plans changed · A dinner that fits your evening

November 3, 2026

• Open Plans changed from Today, the schedule, meals, or Suggestions when you have less time for dinner.
• Choose from up to three saved recipes and see exactly how your meals and shopping list would change.
• Move your original dinner to an empty day, or replace it. Manual shopping items and purchases are kept.
• See responsibilities that still need checking. Nobody is reassigned or notified automatically.
• Return to recent adjustments to undo a change. Undo stops if it could replace newer meals, stock, or shopping edits.

Signed-in changes need an internet connection. Suggestions use your saved recipe times and recorded stock, which may need checking. Recipe costs are not estimated.

Version 17 · Suggestions & update history

New in this release

• Open Suggestions for a small, practical idea, with its source clearly linked.
• Suggestions are curated reading tips. They are not generated from your private household records.
• You can now return here to see what has changed.

Version 16 · Easier, safer everyday use
