Everythingyou'd like to know.

Tonight decides what your household cooks for dinner, every evening. It looks at who's eating, what's in your kitchen and how much time you have, then gives you one good answer with its reason. Around that answer it plans your week, builds your shopping list and keeps a light picture of your pantry.

Sign up at app.tonightdinner.app and add the people at your table, with any allergies, diets or religious rules. Then swipe through a few dinners so Tonight gets a first sense of your taste. When you finish, your first week is already waiting. Only one person is required, and every other step is optional.

Yes. Your household can be just you: add yourself, set your rules and the time you have, and dinners are sized for one. You get the same reasons and the same safety checks as a full table.

Your week is planned as seven dinners, each with its reason. Lock the ones you love, swap or skip the rest, and move any dish to another night. Your shopping list is the week minus what's already in your pantry, and a receipt scan after the shop fills the pantry back in. Cooking mode and two-second feedback are coming soon.

Available today: your household's rules, Tonight's pick, the weekly plan, the pantry, receipt scanning and the shared shopping list, all in the web app. Coming soon: cooking mode with step cards, named timers and a hands-free “next”; two-second feedback with a “kids ate it” switch; household sharing so you can invite a partner; a share-the-week card; gentle nudges and reminders; and “Ask anything”. The iPhone app is coming to the App Store, and Android is later.

Who's home tonight, what's in your kitchen, the time you have and what your table enjoys, plus what you've eaten lately so your week doesn't repeat itself. Safety rules run first, so a dish is ruled out before anything else is scored. Then Tonight picks the best of what's left and tells you why.

Yes. Every pick comes with its reason in plain words, like using your carrots before they turn or fitting a 25-minute Tuesday. The reason comes from the same facts Tonight used to choose, and every night in your week has its own.

Tonight starts with a short swipe through dinners at setup, so its first picks land close to what your table already likes. You choose how adventurous it gets, and new dishes arrive sparingly, near the ones you already love. If a pick misses, “Not this” gives you other good answers right away. Two-second feedback with a “kids ate it” switch is coming soon to teach it more.

Tap “Not this” and Tonight offers other good answers right away, each one already checked against your table's rules. You can also ask for something faster or something different. If you like most of a week, lock the nights you love and swap the rest.

It finds the fastest safe dinner you can make right now, checked for everyone who's home like any other pick. If nothing safe fits in 20 minutes, Tonight tells you so and your plan stays right where it was.

It gives you the night off. Eating out or ordering in? Tonight saves that dish for another evening and rearranges the rest of the week around it. Change your mind and you can cook after all with one tap.

Every dish is checked ingredient by ingredient, for every person at the table, by plain code before it can reach your week. No AI decides what's safe. Tonight is cautious on purpose: hidden sources count, and when in doubt, a dish is left out.

Allergies (peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, sesame and more), intolerances, diets like vegetarian, vegan or pescatarian, and religious rules like halal, kosher, no pork or no alcohol. Each allergy has a severity: “Avoid” leaves out dishes that contain it, and “Strict” also leaves out dishes that may carry traces.

Your week checks itself again. Any planned night whose dish is no longer safe for someone at the table is replaced with one that is, and if you had locked that night, the lock is released and Tonight says so. Nights that are still safe stay just as you left them.

That's what Tonight is built for. A dish only makes your week if it passes every person's rules, so if Sam is vegetarian and Nour can't have peanuts, one dinner works for both. If someone is out tonight, change who's home and Tonight checks again for exactly the people at the table. If nothing safe fits, it says so instead of guessing.

Yes. Halal and kosher are rules you set per person, alongside no pork and no alcohol, and dishes that break them never reach your week. For halal and kosher households, dishes with meat also carry a reminder to buy certified meat.

No. Tonight is a planning tool, not medical advice. It leaves a dish out whenever an ingredient might carry an allergen, but it can't see the label on the specific brand you buy, so for serious allergies always read it.

No. Scan your receipt after the shop, tick things off the list and mark your staples once, and Tonight estimates what's fresh and how long it lasts. Adding or editing things by hand is there if you want it, never required. Tonight keeps a light picture of your kitchen rather than an exact count, so anything you forget to log won't stop dinner from being decided.

After the shop, add a photo of your receipt. Tonight reads the lines and matches them to ingredients, and you tick the matches you want to keep. Only the lines you tick go into your pantry. Before your first scan, Tonight asks for your consent to use AI to read the photo.

It estimates. Each item in your pantry fades as it ages, and Tonight leans less on things it's less sure you still have, so dinner starts from what's likely still good. If something's gone, mark it used up or remove it, and if you buy more, a receipt scan or a manual add brings it back.

Your list is the week's dinners minus what's already in your pantry, in real pack sizes like “1 pack (1 lb) of cod fillets” and sorted by aisle. Tick an item and it goes into your pantry; untick it and Tonight puts things back as they were. The list refreshes every few seconds on each phone that has it open, so a tick shows up everywhere. Sharing it with a partner's own account comes with household invites, which are coming soon.

No. Tonight builds the list and you do the shopping, wherever you like to shop. Ordering and delivery aren't part of the app today.

There are 148 approved dinners today, and every one is reviewed by a person before it's published. The library is still growing, and it runs from Korean rice bowls to Moroccan couscous to Tuesday-night classics.

Not yet. Each dish image is an illustration made for that recipe, so treat it as a guide to what the dish is, not a photo of how yours will look.

Yes. Browse recipes lets you search by dish or ingredient, filter by cuisine, dish type and hands-on time, and add any dish to a night this week. You only see dishes that everyone at your table can eat, and the night is checked again for whoever is eating it.

Yes. Tonight, your week and each recipe show a live line like “You have 5 of 7” with the missing items named, worked out from your pantry as it is right now. A dish that isn't in your plan has an “Add to list” button that puts what you're missing on your shopping list in one go. Amounts scale to the people eating that night.

Yes. Tonight is built around one decision a day: what's for dinner.

One plan covers the whole household: $17.99 a month, or $129.99 a year, which works out to $10.83 a month. Every new household starts with 7 days of full access.

Full access for 7 days, with every feature that's live today, for everyone at your table. Cancel before it ends and you won't pay a thing.

You can subscribe to keep everything, or step back to the free tier. 100 rotating recipes stay free, for good, with no pressure to upgrade. Your week, pantry and shopping list are part of the paid plan.

Yes, one price covers the whole household: everyone at your table, every dinner, every feature. Adding your kids costs nothing extra. Household sharing, which lets you invite your partner to join, is coming soon.

On the web, payments go through Paddle. The iPhone app isn't on the App Store yet, and once it is, purchases there go through Apple. Choose monthly or yearly, and switch anytime.

You can cancel anytime. On iPhone, cancel in your App Store subscription settings; on the web, use the billing page in the web app. For refunds, see our refund policy.

Your account email; the people at your table with their age groups, allergies, intolerances, diets and religious rules; taste signals from your swipes and swaps; your pantry, shopping list and meal plans; and any receipt photos you choose to scan. Tonight also collects basic app analytics. It uses this to decide dinners that are safe and good for your table, keep your pantry and list current, and improve the app.

Yes, both, any time, from settings. Export gives you one file with your account, your household, its people and their needs, and your plans and history. Deleting your account removes your household's data, including receipt photos.

AI features ask for your consent first. Reading a receipt is the main one: your photo goes to an AI provider only after you've agreed. AI never decides what's safe, because allergies, diets and religious rules are checked by plain code.

Your household's data is stored in the United States. Receipt photos are kept in private storage in the European Union, reachable only by your household through the app.

Because safety depends on it. Tonight uses each person's age group, allergies, diets and religious rules to check every dish before it can reach your table. It asks for an age group rather than a birth date, and beyond a name and an age group, everything is optional.

In any browser at app.tonightdinner.app. The web app has everything that's live today: your household, Tonight's pick, your week, the pantry, receipt scanning and the shopping list.

It's submitted to the App Store and isn't live yet, so we can't promise a date. Until it arrives, the web app works in your phone's browser too.

Not yet. Android is planned after iPhone, and in the meantime you can use the web app in any browser on your Android phone.

The app speaks English, French, Spanish, German, Norwegian, Japanese and Korean, and you can switch language in settings. Recipes are in English first, with more languages to come.

The iPhone app keeps this week's plan and its recipes on your phone, so you can read them offline. Changing anything, like swapping a dish or ticking an item, needs a connection.
