Five Lunches Sign in

Five lunches, planned in five minutes.

A weekly packed-lunch planner for families. Build a pantry of foods that actually get eaten, drag them onto the week, and shop from a list that's already sorted.

Open the app Invite-only for now.

How it works

Three parts, in the order you'll actually use them on a Sunday night.

1

Stock the pantry

Every food your kid will actually eat, filed as a main, fruit, veg, side or snack β€” with a photo if that helps. Paste a list and it's sorted for you.

2

Plan the week

Five days, a slot per category. Drag from the pantry, or tap + on a phone. Save a lunch you love as a meal and drop it in next time.

3

Shop the list

One list for the week, grouped and counted, with what you already have ticked off. Both parents see the same list.

Built for two people packing the same lunches

The parts that only matter once you've done this for a while.

Pizza days and days off

Mark a day and its slots disappear. The shopping list knows too.

Ready for review

One parent plans, the other gets a nudge to look it over. A note on any day says why.

A Sunday reminder

If next week isn't planned yet, an email says so β€” at the hour you pick, in your timezone.

Ask it to do things

"Make Tuesday's main a hot dog." It proposes the change; you tap Apply. It never edits on its own.

It's an app on your phone

Add it to the home screen. It opens fast and works offline for what you've already loaded.

Nothing to install, nothing to pay

It runs in the browser, and it's free for the families using it.

Want it for your family?

It's invite-only while it's small. If you know someone who uses it, ask them for a passcode.
