Half Five Downloads & RevenueHalf Five: Dinner Decider · App Store

It's six o'clock. One of you rings the other to ask what's for dinner. "I don't mind." Neither of you does, and neither of you can think of anything, so it's the same few meals again, or something from the shop that goes in the oven.

You already know thirty meals. Half Five remembers the twenty you've forgotten.

At half five, one of your own meals arrives on your lock screen: one you like and haven't had for a while. Tap yes, and dinner's decided. Tap no, and it asks what you fancy instead. There's no planning screen to open, because there's nothing to plan.

HOW IT WORKS
• Photograph the recipes you already cook, or pick the fifteen or so familiar ones from a list. That's the setup, and you do it once.
• Choose when the card comes, and the days you cook.
• Answer from the notification, the lock screen or the app. One yes settles tonight, and everyone's told.
• When you want something different, ask, and it shows you a recipe you haven't tried. Or have one offered now and then, as often as you like.

FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD
Invite whoever you eat with. Everyone signs in as themselves and answers from their own phone. Let the first yes win, or agree together. Add the children by first name, and Half Five can keep leftovers for them.

THE WEEK, IF YOU WANT IT
Pick the week's meals and the shopping list writes itself, sorted by aisle. Keep a recipe with each meal: a photo of the cookbook page, a link, or the text itself.

FOOD, NOT NUMBERS
Half Five doesn't ask about diets, weight or calories, and never shows a number about a child. Names stay off the lock screen unless you turn them on.

You can tell it which allergens your household avoids, from a fixed list. It asks your permission first, because that's health information, and you can say no and keep everything else. Recipes in Something new that list one of them then stop being suggested, and those recipes carry allergen labels checked by a person. It doesn't check your own meals. Both are a help, not a safety system, so always read the actual ingredients and the actual packaging.
