For people who like cooking but do not have time to start from scratch every week.

No fixed menu, no packaging waste, personalized to your taste, your schedule, and the way your family actually eats. The AI helps when you ask. You stay in charge of every recipe.

    Pick your nights, say what you feel like, and let the AI draft the week.

How it works

Plan, shop, and cook without the busywork

  1. 1

    Plan

    Tell it the nights you need and what you are in the mood for. It drafts the week in seconds.

  2. 2

    Shop

    Every recipe rolls up into one grocery list, sorted and de-duplicated, ready to send to your cart.

  3. 3

    Cook

    Real recipes with real ingredients. Ask the AI to scale, swap, or simplify any of them on the fly.

What's coming

Built to handle the whole week

    Your weekly grocery list already pushes straight to Instacart. Walmart and more providers are coming next. No retyping, no forgotten items, no re-shopping from scratch every week.

  • Plan as a household

    Invite the people you cook for. One plan, one grocery list, everyone's tastes and ratings folded into what gets suggested.

  • Follow the cooks you trust

    Follow someone whose taste you trust and drop their best dinners straight into your week and your cart.

About

Who's behind About Thyme

About Thyme began as a birthday gift. One of our founders built the first version for his wife: they love cooking together, but the weekly planning and shopping kept crowding out the part they enjoyed most. It worked well enough in one kitchen that we decided to build it for everyone.

Today About Thyme is built and operated by About Thyme LLC, an independent software company making an AI-assisted cookbook and meal-planning app for people who like cooking but are short on time. The app is in private beta on iOS via TestFlight.
