Plan this week

Pulls from your recipe library, this week's calendar, and any notes you give it. Picks four dinners Monday–Thursday and explains each one.

This week's meals

Tap any meal to open the recipe.

Shopping list moved → It has its own tab now with checkable items, auto-fill from your plan, and one-tap Instacart send.

Recipe library — manage all recipes

Save recipes once, use them every week. Tag what matters (oven-ready, husband-can-make, high-protein) — that's what makes future AI suggestions smart.

Shopping list

Tap an item to check it off. Rebuild pulls from your staples, planned meal recipes, and any Low/Out inventory items — preserving anything you've added or checked.

Weekly staples — always on the list

One item per line. Auto-included every time you rebuild the shopping list.

⚙︎ Settings

Reset options + access to features hidden from the main tab bar.

iPhone alerts

Subscribe your iPhone Calendar to the family feed. Every event on your dashboard shows up in Apple Calendar with two alerts — 1 hour before + 15 minutes before — so you never miss anything. James subscribes on his phone too and gets the same alerts.

How to subscribe on iPhone (step-by-step)
  1. Tap Copy above to grab the feed URL
  2. Open iPhone Settings app
  3. Scroll to CalendarAccountsAdd Account
  4. Choose OtherAdd Subscribed Calendar
  5. Paste the URL → tap Next → tap Save
  6. Open the Calendar app — all your family events appear with alerts
  7. Repeat on James's iPhone with the same URL so he gets the same alerts

iOS re-fetches the feed every ~1 hour, so events you add here appear on iPhone Calendar within an hour (usually much faster). Each event fires two alerts: 1 hour and 15 min before.

Reset everything

Clears ALL your data: calendar events, meal plans, prep notes, shopping lists, staples, star chart progress, rewards, devotional journal entries, week check-offs. Basically returns the whole dashboard to Day 1.

Recipes are preserved — you keep your recipe library since those are your work.

Hidden features

These tabs are hidden from the main bar. Tap to open when needed — they still sync and work normally.

Cloud sync

Firebase syncs everything across your laptop and phone. Green dot in the top-right = synced. If you nuke data on one device, it syncs the wipe everywhere within a few seconds.

Amelia's daily templates

Set the recurring checklist items for each day of the week (Amelia's dashboard renders this every day, not just school days). Add a timer duration to any task and she'll get a Start button on her end.

Amelia's focus timers

Set a duration for each of Amelia's morning-routine and daily-checklist tasks. She'll see a big Start button on her dashboard; a giant progress bar shows time passing. Voice reminders fire at halfway and when time's almost up. Screen stays awake during the timer.

Voice settings

Reminders use ElevenLabs for a warm, natural voice — auto-falls back to the iPad's built-in voice if the API is down. Paste your ElevenLabs voice ID to use a specific voice (or a clone of your own voice).

Amelia's boredom ideas

Edit the list of screen-free ideas Amelia sees when she taps "I'm bored — what should I do?" on her dashboard. Emoji is optional (she still sees emojis on her page). Changes sync to her iPad within a few seconds.

Restore hidden recurring events

If a standing event (like Mom teaches fitness or MyGym) accidentally got hidden forever when you tried to skip just one week, this brings them all back so you can decide what to do.

Rebuild schedule from plan

Wipes ALL recurring events + one-off calendar events across every week, then rebuilds with your confirmed 2026-27 schedule (fitness door-to-door times, school blocks Mon-Fri, MyGym Wed, sewing Mon dates, Full STEAM Ahead Thu dates). Karate + Piano + Mimi are left off — add manually when confirmed.

Danger zone

Last-resort calendar rebuild. Deletes ALL calendar events (recurring + one-off across every week + exceptions). Only use if the calendar is beyond fixing. Prefer editing the Recurring Schedule from the Calendar tab.

Inventory

Track what you're stocked on. Tap an item to cycle Have → Low → Out → Have. Anything marked Low or Out appears on the Meals shopping list automatically.

Today

Daily resets take 5–10 minutes. The zone of the day is the one deep-clean focus that keeps the house from spiraling.

      This week's rotation

      Recent sessions

      Logging a session doesn't ask Claude anything on its own. Tap Ask Claude about this work on a session for feedback on that one, Analyze trend above for a pattern across four weeks of a subject, or the question box below for anything else.

      Ask Claude a general question

      For questions that aren't tied to a specific worksheet — e.g., "she's frustrated with Apologia, how do I bring it to life for a 7-year-old?"

      This week's intentional time

      Pick 3–5 specific things you want to do with the kids this week. Less is more. Check them off when done.

            Idea library

            Click any idea to add it to your week. These are screen-free, low-setup, work-with-a-toddler-around activities.

            Star chart

            Amelia checks off behaviors on her own page. Give bonus stars here. Tap Count the week to move earned stars into her jars: 2 Give, 2 Save, 1 Rent, the rest to Spend. You can count any day and as often as you like; it only ever tops up the difference.

            Today's chart

            Tap to give Amelia a star for that behavior today. Same data she sees on her page — cross-syncs.

            This week's stars by day

            Running total of what Amelia earned each day (behaviors + bonus). Resets Monday.

            Reward menu

            Edits here show up on Amelia's dashboard. She redeems from her Spend jar. Change prices, add new rewards, retire ones she's outgrown.

            PEP funds

            Track every Step Up FTC-PEP purchase. Auto-computes what's reimbursed, what's pending, and what still needs paperwork before submitting.
