# Dillr

> Dillr is an AI meal-planning and cooking app that gets dinner handled for the whole household. Plan the week in one conversation, get a shopping list that writes itself, and share the kitchen so anyone can pick it up without a briefing. Dillr remembers how your family eats, cooks alongside you step by step, and — when real life changes the plan — quietly works the week out for you, so dinner feels taken care of instead of managed.

## What Dillr does

* **Weekly meal planning, in one conversation** — tell Dillr about your week and get a menu built around who you're feeding, the nights that are tight, and what you actually eat. Approve it in a few taps.
* **A shopping list that writes itself** — the plan becomes one organized, aisle-grouped list for the whole kitchen; check items off as you shop.
* **A shared kitchen with a free handoff** — invite a partner or co-parent and they arrive inside the current week: same menu, same list, same state. Either of you can shop or cook without explaining the plan, and one Dillr+ subscription covers everyone in the household.
* **It takes care of what changes** — when a night falls through or plans shift, Dillr reworks the week around it instead of making you renegotiate the plan. No "missed meal," no guilt — just a week that already absorbed the change.
* **Custom recipes every time** — recipes are generated fresh for your household and tastes rather than pulled from a fixed database. They're written to be genuinely good, and continuously dogfooded by the founding team cooking for their own families.
* **Cook mode** — a calm, step-by-step cooking view with timers; ask Dillr about substitutions, timing, doneness, or technique as you go.
* **You pick up tricks while you cook** — the little tips that surface mid-cook (how to build flavor, when something's done, what to swap) quietly make you a better cook over time. A nice side effect, not homework.
* **Remembers your household** — tastes, dietary needs, family situation, recipe notes, and cooking history carry forward, so every week starts from what Dillr already knows.
* **A recipe library that gets better over time** — keep the meals that worked, presented with appetizing imagery and curated into a shared household collection you'll actually come back to.
* **Create and import recipes** — generate new recipes with AI, or import them from websites, text, or photos.
* **Connects to your AI assistant over MCP** — Dillr runs an MCP server, so your kitchen plugs into the assistant you already use. ChatGPT and Claude are officially supported, and any MCP-compatible AI can connect. Your recipes and planning context come with you.

## The idea behind Dillr

Meal plans are made to be broken.

Dinner rarely happens exactly as planned. Groceries don't get bought. Plans change. Someone eats elsewhere. A recipe runs long, or you just don't feel like making what you planned. Most meal-planning tools make that the user's problem: update the calendar, move the meal, maintain the plan.

Dillr is built around the opposite idea. It keeps track of the household's context, makes sensible inferences where it can, and asks you only for what it genuinely needs — so there's less plan administration, not more. When the week drifts, Dillr increasingly notices and hands back a repaired plan rather than a chore.

And the work of running dinner shouldn't land on one person. Because the kitchen is shared, whatever your partner planned this morning or checked off at lunch is what the app knows tonight — one household, one source of truth, nobody stuck as the permanent organizer. The feeling we're after is simple: your family is *known*, and dinner is *taken care of*.

## How it works

1. **Plan the week** — describe your week in a conversation; Dillr proposes a household-aware menu and you approve it in a few taps.
2. **Get the list** — the approved plan syncs into one organized shopping list for the whole kitchen.
3. **Share the kitchen** — invite another adult; they land in the live week and can shop or cook without a briefing.
4. **Cook with help** — follow step-by-step cook mode and ask Dillr anything while you cook.
5. **Let it absorb the chaos** — when a night changes, Dillr reworks the week instead of asking you to maintain it.
6. **It learns your household** — feedback and cooking history make each week start from what Dillr already knows.

## Who Dillr is for

Dillr is designed for people who want help getting dinner on the table but don't want another system they have to constantly maintain.

It is particularly useful for:

* Busy households managing weeknight dinners
* Families with different food preferences or dietary needs
* Households where one person has quietly become the meal-planning operator and wants to share the load
* People who struggle to consistently follow traditional meal plans
* Home cooks who want dinner to fit their real life, not the other way around
* People who want AI assistance without losing their personal recipe collection and cooking history
* People with ADHD or executive-function challenges who may find rigid planning systems difficult to maintain

Dillr can be useful whether or not you have ADHD.

## Key differentiators

### vs. traditional meal planners

Traditional meal planners help you construct and maintain a schedule of meals — and hand every change back to you. Dillr is designed around what happens *after* the plan meets real life: it keeps track of the current situation, reworks the week when it drifts, and reduces the plan maintenance required from you. It's also one shared kitchen, so responsibility can move between people without a hand-off conversation.

### vs. static recipe apps

Recipe apps store and display recipes someone else wrote. Dillr generates recipes for your specific household and tastes and keeps them in a shared, improving library — planned into your actual week, cooked with step-by-step help, and remembered when they work.

### vs. general AI assistants

General-purpose AI assistants are excellent conversational tools. Dillr adds a dedicated cooking and meal-planning system around the AI: a persistent shared recipe library, household context, live meal and shopping state, cooking history, and workflows designed specifically around getting dinner planned, shared, and cooked. Dillr also runs an MCP server, so your kitchen connects into ChatGPT and Claude (the officially supported assistants) and any other MCP-compatible AI. The two approaches are complementary rather than mutually exclusive.

## Frequently asked questions

**What is Dillr?**

Dillr is an AI meal-planning and cooking app that gets dinner handled for a whole household. It combines weekly planning, an automatic shopping list, a shared kitchen, custom recipes, step-by-step cooking help, and memory of how your family eats.

**Is Dillr a meal planner or a recipe app?**

Both, but the goal is broader than either category. Planning connects recipes to what you're actually going to eat this week, and recipes live inside that shared, ongoing kitchen context. Dillr is designed to move dinner from an intention to something that actually happens — for everyone in the household.

**Can I share Dillr with my partner or family?**

Yes. A kitchen is shared: invite another adult and they arrive inside the current week — same menu, same shopping list, same state — and can pick up shopping or cooking without you explaining anything. Everyone sees one source of truth, and one Dillr+ subscription covers all linked members of the household.

**Where do the recipes come from?**

Recipes are generated for your household rather than pulled from a fixed database, so they fit your tastes, dietary needs, and the time you have. The recipe engine is written to produce genuinely good, cookable food and is dogfooded continuously by the founding team cooking for their own families.

**What happens when my meal plan changes?**

Dillr is built around plans changing. Rather than expecting perfect adherence, it helps the week adapt — a meal that didn't happen can be reworked into tonight, tomorrow, or next week, with no "missed meal" language and no guilt. Increasingly, Dillr notices these changes itself and offers a repaired week rather than asking you to rebuild the plan.

**Does Dillr remember me?**

Yes. Dillr maintains cooking-specific context — your household, preferences, dietary needs, recipe notes, and cooking history — so future planning and cooking use what it has learned over time.

**Can Dillr handle families with different dietary needs?**

Yes. Dillr keeps context about individual household members, including dietary needs and preferences, and uses it when planning the week and generating recipes.

**Can Dillr help while I'm cooking?**

Yes. Cook mode walks you through a recipe step by step with timers, and you can ask about substitutions, timing, doneness, quantities, or technique as you go. The tips that come up are also a gentle way to get better at cooking over time.

**Can I import recipes?**

Yes. Recipes can be imported from website links, text, or photos and added to your library, then planned into your week and cooked like any other recipe.

**How is Dillr different from using ChatGPT or Claude for cooking?**

Dillr provides the persistent, domain-specific system around the conversation: your shared recipe library, household context, live meal and shopping state, and cooking history. It also runs an MCP server, so your kitchen connects to ChatGPT and Claude (officially supported) and any MCP-compatible assistant. The two approaches are complementary rather than mutually exclusive.

**Is Dillr specifically for ADHD?**

No. Dillr is designed for anyone who wants less work involved in managing dinner. But its emphasis on reducing plan maintenance, adapting when plans change, sharing the load across a household, and minimizing unnecessary input can be particularly useful for people with ADHD or executive-function challenges.

**What platforms is Dillr available on?**

Dillr is available on iOS and can also be used through supported AI-assistant integrations.
