How it works

How WFD works

The whole idea in one line: everyone swipes, matches decide dinner, the week plans itself. Here’s the flow.

Set up your table
Add your meals — the ones you actually cook, plus new ideas — and the people you eat with. Partner, family, housemates: everyone who eats gets a swipe. Meals carry the details that matter: time, effort, cost, servings, pans, and tags like vegan or veggie.
Swipe together
Everyone swipes on their own phone, in their own time — on the sofa, on the bus, in the queue. Love it or skip it. No performative “I don't mind”, no one person proposing meals for the panel to reject.
Match on dinner
When you both love the same meal, it's a match — dinner, decided by agreement instead of attrition. The Tonight view always answers the question before anyone has to ask it.
Plan and shop
Matches drop into a weekly plan, so the deciding happens once instead of nightly. The shopping list follows the plan — you shop once, and aisle four stops being a guessing game.

How do matches become a weekly plan?

Matched meals are meals everyone already said yes to — so planning the week is picking from a pile of pre-approved dinners, not starting a negotiation. Drop them onto the nights you’ll cook and the week is done in minutes.

Does WFD make the shopping list?

Yes. Once the week is planned, WFD builds a shopping list from the plan. One list, matching what you’ll actually cook — instead of a trolley of optimistic ingredients and no dinners.

What about picky eaters?

Picky eaters are exactly why swiping works: everyone vetoes in advance, on their own phone, instead of at the table. A match means nobody at your table has to be talked into dinner. (More on this in the blog.)

Do we have to plan every night?

No. Plan the nights you cook and leave the rest alone. WFD is a way out of the nightly decision, not another chore with streaks and guilt. Use it for tonight, for the week, or just for ending one argument at a time.
