Checked Out: Family Meal Plan

Checked Out is a weekly family meal planner that builds your week around the people who actually eat it — you choose which meals get planned, and how many.

Most family meal planner apps assume one person is cooking for one set of tastes. Checked Out is different: tell it who's in your household, what they can't or won't eat, and it builds a weekly meal plan that works for everyone — down to swapping in a different side or dish on a night someone won't eat what's served, without changing the plan for everyone else.

WHAT YOU GET EACH WEEK
- A weekly meal plan covering whichever meals you want — breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, or any mix of them — built around your household's dietary needs, from everyday preferences like low-carb or low-sugar to more involved restrictions like GLP-1, gluten-free, or bariatric, each with its own guidance for how meals get planned and shopped for
- An alternate side or dish for anyone who won't eat what's served that night, without having to cook a separate meal
- Individual calorie and macro targets for anyone in the household who wants them
- Save your household's go-to meals — a few are worked into each week as comfort picks, alongside new dishes you haven't had
- Request specific dishes for the week ("tacos one night," "something with salmon") and they show up in the plan
- Mark nights off or meals off (eating out, traveling, leftovers) and the plan adjusts around them
- Swap any meal you don't like before you commit to the week

GROCERY SHOPPING, SIMPLIFIED
Every plan comes with a shopping list organized by category and itemized down to exact amounts — produce, meat, dairy, and the rest, sorted and ready. Add anything else you know you'll need that week — paper towels, coffee filters, whatever it is — and it's saved to your list right away, so it's at your fingertips when you shop instead of something you try to remember at the store. Whether you're walking the aisles or loading an online cart, there's no more re-reading recipes to figure out what you actually need.

BUILT FOR REAL HOUSEHOLDS, NOT JUST ONE COOK
Dietary restrictions, allergies, GLP-1, and foods people won't eat don't have to mean cooking separate meals for separate people. Checked Out plans one week that works for the whole table.

Start planning your household's week in minutes — no more "what's for dinner" at 5pm.
