How Mealody works
From household
to dinner table.
Three steps, end to end. Once you've set the household up, every plan after that takes about a minute.
The facts
What Mealody is, and what it isn't.
- What it is
- Mealody is a web app that plans up to a week of meals for everyone in your household and turns that plan into one shopping list.
- Who it's for
- Families cooking for several people at once — different diets, allergies and children included.
- Plan length
- Up to 7 days per plan. When the week is done, you generate the next one.
- Price
- Your first plan is free, no card needed. Further plans need a Solo or Family subscription, which starts with a 14-day free trial. You add a card when the trial starts; cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.
- Platform
- A web app. It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to install.
- Languages
- English and Romanian.
- Where the numbers come from
- Nutrition data sourced from USDA FoodData Central, not estimated. Mealody is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the USDA.
What it does
- Plans breakfast, lunch and dinner for up to 7 days.
- Sizes every portion to the person eating it — a child and an adult at the same meal get different amounts.
- Builds one shopping list from the whole plan, grouped by aisle, with quantities added up.
- With batch cooking on, it lists what to cook ahead and which days each dish covers.
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't count calories or keep a food diary. The figures are there to read; there is nothing to log.
- It doesn't show live supermarket prices.
- It doesn't photograph the meals it plans.
- It doesn't import your own recipes. Mealody plans from its own catalogue.
- It doesn't share one plan across two households. One household per account.
01
Set up your household
Tell us who eats — once.
Each person gets a profile: age, weight, goal, activity, diet, preferences, dislikes, allergies, and medical conditions. Mealody uses all of it to calculate per-person calorie and macro targets and to tailor every meal that follows.
- Five goals supported: lose weight, maintain, build muscle, healthy growth (kids), general health.
- Diet types: omnivore, vegetarian, vegan — plus a child mode with kid-appropriate macros.
- Allergies and dislikes are hard constraints: meals Mealody can match to them are left out, and anything it can't match is flagged for you to check.
- Medical conditions (iron deficiency, diabetes, hypertension, etc.) feed into nutrient priorities so the plan supports, not fights, what you're managing.

Generate the plan
One plan, balanced for everyone at once.
Pick anywhere from 1 to 7 days. Mealody plans breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day, with portions scaled to each person and varied recipes across the week. Turn on batch cooking if you like, and cook once for up to two days.
- Per-meal calorie and macro split for every household member, simultaneously.
- Fridge mode: list what you have, Mealody uses it first and removes it from the shopping list.
- Batch cook: one dish cooked once covers up to two days in a row, and for lunch and dinner the prep list shows what to cook and for which days.

Shop and prep together
One grocery list. A list of what to cook ahead.
Mealody gathers every meal into one shopping list, grouped by aisle, with quantities added up and what's already in your fridge taken off. With batch cooking on, the prep list shows each dish, the days it covers, how long it takes and how long it keeps.
- Items grouped by aisle: produce, protein, pantry, dairy, grains, frozen.
- Lunches and dinners listed by date: each dish is cooked on the first day you eat it.
- Storage notes for each dish: how long it keeps in the fridge, and whether it freezes.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Mealody free?
- Your first plan is free and doesn't need a card. After that, you choose a Solo or Family subscription, and the first one starts with 14 days free. You add a card when the trial starts, and if you cancel before it ends, you pay nothing.
- How many days can one plan cover?
- Up to 7. When the week is done you generate the next plan — there is no multi-week plan.
- Can it cope with different diets in the same household?
- Yes. Each person's profile carries their own diet — omnivore, vegetarian or vegan — and everyone gets the same meal in the version that suits them.
- What about allergies?
- Mealody leaves out meals containing an allergen it recognises, and flags on the plan anything it could not match, so you can check those meals yourself. It is not a safety guarantee: always read the labels, and don't rely on Mealody for a severe allergy.
- Does Mealody count calories?
- No. It works out how much each person needs and sizes the portions accordingly, but there is no diary and no daily total to hit.
- Do I need to install an app?
- No. Mealody runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There is no App Store or Google Play download.
- What languages does it work in?
- English and Romanian.
- Can I add my own recipes?
- Not at the moment. Mealody plans from its own catalogue of meals.
- Can two households share one plan?
- No. One household per account.
- Where does the nutrition data come from?
- Nutrition data sourced from USDA FoodData Central, not estimated. Mealody is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the USDA, and the information is general in nature — it is not medical or dietary advice.
