-
Can my partner approve the weekly meal plan?
Yes. You each open the same app on your own device and see the same week. Either of you can swap a night you don’t want. When you share a household, everyone approves before the week locks.
-
What is Bot My Meals?
Bot My Meals is a household dinner planning app. A bot plans seven dinners from your household’s preferences and past weeks. You swap what you don’t want, approve the week, and then get recipes and one shopping list split by the stores you use. It works on any phone, tablet or computer with a web browser, with nothing to install.
-
Is there a free version?
Yes. Bot My Meals is open source. Run it yourself, free, on your own Cloudflare and Supabase accounts. The code is on GitHub, and our bot (free) walks you through the setup.
-
How much does it cost?
Running it yourself is free. The hosted plan is 7 days free, then $9.99/mo or $99/yr, plus tax where it applies. One plan covers everyone at home at no extra cost. Billing is handled by Stripe.
-
Can it plan around allergies?
Yes. Add allergies and foods to skip, and every dinner is planned around them.
-
How is it different from Mealime, Paprika, or Plan to Eat?
Bot My Meals is built around a shared approval step. A bot plans the week, everyone at home sees the same plan on their own device, and the week locks only after everyone approves. Recipes and a shopping list split by your stores come after that.
-
Can the shopping list be split by the stores I use?
Yes. Once the week is approved, your bot builds the shopping list around the stores you prefer, and store names split the list. We never invent grocery prices. Cart adds happen only where the store actually supports them.
-
Does my partner need their own subscription?
No. One plan covers everyone at home. Invite them with a link, at no extra cost.
-
What do I get with the hosted plan?
Your own Bot My Meals app at yourname.botmymeals.com. You pick the name. We run the hosting and the database for you, so there’s no Cloudflare, Supabase or GitHub to set up. Our bot plans the week.
-
Does everyone at home need their own plan?
No. One plan covers everyone at home. Invite them with a link, at no extra cost. Everyone opens the same address in any browser, on any device.
-
Is my household’s data private?
Yes. Hosted households share one database, and your household’s data is kept separate from every other household’s. Our bot uses only your household’s data to plan your week.
-
How do I cancel?
Anytime, in the billing portal: open Manage billing in your app. Cancel before the 7-day trial ends and you aren’t charged. After that, your plan runs until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
-
Which devices does it work on?
Any phone, tablet or computer with a web browser. There’s nothing to install.
-
Can I run it myself instead?
Yes. The do-it-yourself version is free on your own Cloudflare and Supabase accounts. The setup page walks you through it.
