Features
Plan Meals as a Household
Shared calendar your whole household edits together with real-time sync. Day tags let you mark recurring patterns — Meatless Mondays, Takeout Fridays — and per-day notes keep everyone on the same page.
Shopping Lists That Think for You
Add an entire week of meals to a list with one tap. Duplicate ingredients are automatically consolidated — no more buying two bags of onions. Check items off as you shop with live progress tracking.
Your Personal Meal Library
Build a recipe database with ingredients, steps, prep/cook times, and photos. Quick-create meals on the fly and fill in details later. Instantly import recipes from the web, then tag and favorite for fast retrieval.
Offline-First, Always Reliable
Your data is always cached — browse, plan, and edit even without a signal. Changes sync automatically when you reconnect. Never lose work due to a spotty connection in the grocery store.
Notifications That Aren't Annoying
Get notified when a household member updates a shared list. Smart batching groups changes into a single alert instead of a flood of pings. Configurable throttle and Android notification channel for granular control.
Fast, Secure Mobile Access
A native Android app — not a slow web wrapper — with proper offline storage that persists across sessions.
Flexible for Any Household
Invite members with a shareable code and assign roles — managers vs. members. Free tier for solo use; Pro unlocks households, multiple shopping lists, and recipe importing.
Your Data Stays Private
All data is encrypted in transit. Your personal information is stored encrypted and unreadable by mealQ — no ads, no selling your data.
Personal and Household Modes
Switch between your personal context and any household you belong to — no separate accounts needed. Keep your solo grocery run separate from the family meal plan.
