Cook Mode: the next step, Prep Turkey, in large type with a 26-minute countdown and a Done button
Planning a new dinner: choosing Thanksgiving and the date, November 26, 2026

Tell it when you're eating.

Pick the occasion and the time — Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Friendsgiving, a Sunday roast or any big dinner. Add dishes from ready-made menus or your own; every time and temperature can be changed.

The app's timeline: turkey out of the oven, raise oven to 350°F, stuffing into the oven

Your whole kitchen, one timeline.

It knows one oven holds one temperature and schedules the changes, never plans more stovetop dishes than you have burners, uses resting and holding times, and spaces out hands-on prep. Two ovens, slow cookers, air fryers and pressure cookers too.

Editing a dish that Mom is bringing, arriving at 3:15 PM, to be reheated

Someone bringing a dish? Add that too.

Mom's bringing mashed potatoes at 3:15 and they need 20 minutes in the oven? Add who's bringing it and when, and the reheat fits around everything else. Dishes that arrive ready to serve take no oven space.

Cook Mode: the next step, Prep Turkey, in large type with a 26-minute countdown and a Done button

Know exactly what to do next.

The next step is always at the top, with a countdown. Cook Mode shows it in huge type you can read from across the kitchen and keeps the screen awake. Follow along on your Lock Screen, too.

Running Late: dinner is now projected for 9:25 PM, with options to move dinner or keep the time

Running late? Adjust the plan.

Turkey needs longer, or a guest is stuck in traffic? Tell the app. Only the steps that depend on it move — and if dinner itself needs to shift, you choose.

A kitchen conflict between dinner rolls at 375°F and roast potatoes at 425°F, with a suggested fix

When the kitchen can't do it all.

If two dishes need the oven at different temperatures at the same moment, it tells you which ones and offers a fix it has already checked against the whole meal.

The website plans it. The app runs it.
