How Stove Pals Works

From empty week to full fridge in three steps

Add Your Meals, However They Come To You

Start with a ready-made meal set, then make it yours. Snap a photo of a recipe card, paste a link or text from a blog, drop in a PDF, or type it in manually. AI parses the ingredients and steps automatically.

Plan Your Week In Minutes

Open your meal calendar or list and add meals straight from your library. Changed your mind? Move any meal to a new day in a couple of taps. Your shopping list builds itself as you go.

Cook & Enjoy

When it's time to cook, open the meal, follow the recipe step-by-step, and enjoy a home-cooked meal, no more last-minute scrambling or takeout regrets.

Your Library

Every recipe you've saved, in one place

Import from a photo, link, PDF, or plain text and your collection fills up fast. Sort into folders, star your favorites, and filter by meal type or tag to land on dinner in seconds.

  • Folders like "Favorites" or "Grandma's"
  • Cook time, servings, and calories at a glance
  • One tap to add any dish to your week

Plan Together

Line up what's next, and who's cooking

Drop meals into a shared queue and put a name on each one. In a household, everyone sees the same plan update in real time, so there's no nightly "what's for dinner?" text thread.

  • Assign any household member as the cook
  • Mains and sides tracked on every meal
  • Tap Cook for step-by-step mode

Questions, Answered

Quick answers before you dive in

Is Stove Pals really free?

Yes. Planning your week is free, there's no credit card required to start, and there are no ads in the app. If paid features are ever added down the line, the everyday planning you rely on stays free.

Do I have to type in every recipe by hand?

No. Paste a link, upload a PDF, or snap a photo of a recipe card or cookbook page and AI extracts the ingredients and steps automatically. Typing one in by hand is always an option too, if you'd rather.

Can my whole family use one plan?

Yes. Family Mode lets your household share one meal calendar and recipe library, assign who's cooking each night, and vote on what to make.
