About Simmer: Meal Planner
Simmer takes the guesswork out of weeknight dinners. Every week, Simmer builds you a set of budget-friendly, one-pan meals based on your household size — then generates a shopping list to match. No more standing in the kitchen wondering what to make, or buying ingredients you already have. WHAT MAKES SIMMER DIFFERENT Smart Pantry Tracking Simmer remembers what you've already bought and automatically checks your shopping list against it — so you're never repurchasing sauces, spices, or staples that are already in your fridge or freezer. Built Around Your Budget See the estimated cost of every meal before you shop. Simmer keeps proteins and ingredients in a consistent, predictable price range so your grocery bill stays on track week to week. Storage & Prep Guidance Simmer tells you exactly how to store what you bought — what goes in the freezer, what stays in the fridge, and when to move things over so your food stays fresh and safe to eat. Step-by-Step Cooking Mode Full-screen, swipeable cooking instructions with built-in timers walk you through each meal, no recipe card squinting required. Rolling Weekly Planning Simmer plans one week at a time and lets you build the next whenever you're ready — no overwhelming month-long meal plan to commit to. Simmer is currently free to use while we're in our public testing period. We'd love your feedback — look for the feedback prompt in the app.
