Plan the week. Shop once. Cook on autopilot.

Ementa is the meal planner running my kitchen. A weekly grid for every meal, one shopping list that merges itself, and nutrition totals that follow the servings.

Accounts are created in the app, not on this page.

What's inside

Six features, one job: get dinner decided, shopped for, and on the table without a spreadsheet.

The week at a glance

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for every day. Drag a meal to swap slots, or hit randomize and let it fill the gaps — locked dinners stay put.

One list, not five

Roll a week into Groceries. Duplicates merge, amounts add up, and everything lands in aisle order. Check it off with a thumb.

Cook mode that scales

Tell it how many you're feeding and every ingredient recalculates. Live macro totals tick along while you cook.

Nutrition that adds up

Attach an Open Food Facts or USDA profile to an ingredient once. Recipe and per-serving totals recompute forever after.

Import from anywhere

Paste a recipe URL or a TikTok link. Ingredients and steps get pulled out, and you land in the editor to fix anything.

Shared, not social

Publish a recipe to a plain public page, follow a few people, and save a copy into your own kitchen. No feed, no algorithm.

How it works

Three steps, repeated every week.

  1. 1

    Plan

    Open the week and drop in dinners. Randomize the ones you don't care about; lock the ones you do.

  2. 2

    Shop

    Send the week to Groceries. Walk the aisles in order and check things off.

  3. 3

    Cook

    Pick what you're cooking, set the servings, and follow along as the totals update.

Where it actually helps

Not a productivity system. Three moments it's built around.

The Sunday reset

Ten minutes on the couch decides the whole week. No more six-o'clock “what's for dinner”.

One trip, one list

Seven dinners collapse into a single aisle-ordered list, so the shop is a loop instead of a scavenger hunt.

Cooking from a video

Share a TikTok to the app and the caption and subtitles become an editable recipe with real ingredients.

It's a personal app, but the door works.
