A new name, plus quicker ways to plan, cook and shop together
Spoonly is now Plannly. Same app, same data, new name.
Planning
- Eating Out: Plan a meal out with an optional place and note. Open the place in Apple Maps, get a reminder, and mark it as done. No cooking and nothing added to your shopping list.
- Repeat Last Week: Copy last week's meals into this week in one tap from the Calendar week view.
- Auto-assign now also fills empty meals with recipes from your library.
- Today button on the Plan screen to jump back to today.
- Tap a meal reminder to open that meal.
Cooking
- Cooking timers: Steps like “Bake for 25 minutes” get a timer automatically. It keeps counting while your phone is locked, and you get a notification when it's done.
- Mark as done when you finish cooking, if the meal is on today's plan.
Shopping
- Add from Plan: Pick dates and add the ingredients of every planned meal to your shopping list, scaled to each meal's servings.
- Smarter shopping list: Ingredients are sorted into aisles. The same ingredient from two recipes is combined (“100g + 50g” becomes “150g”).
Family
- “Who's cooking?” button when a meal has no cook yet.
- Unassign a cook by tapping them again.
- Remove a family or member photo.
Recipes and app
- Duplicate import warning: If you import a link you already saved, Plannly offers to open the saved recipe instead.
- Restore built-in recipes from Settings.
- “Discard changes?” prompt when you close a recipe you've edited.
- What's New is now available in Settings.
Improved and fixed
- Updating is safer. Older saved recipes, family members and plans always load, and your own edits to built-in recipes are kept.
- Plan screen: the day strip is smoother and always lands on the right day, the date updates overnight, and meals are listed in order from breakfast to dessert.
- What's New no longer appears on top of onboarding for new users.
- Servings are kept when you edit or copy meals.
- Weeks start on your region's first day of the week.
- Recipe import works with more sites, reads servings better and fixes symbols like “&”.
- Edit Recipe saves only when you tap the check mark.
- Empty recipe fields stay empty instead of getting a fake “30 min” or a placeholder step.
- The shopping list no longer shows the “Week of…” label.
- “Rate Plannly” opens the App Store review page.
- New family members get different colours.
- Spanish now covers more of the app, and dates follow your language.
- Camera permission removed, since the app never used it.
