FamilyPlates, the self-hosted family meal planner
An open-source household planner that connects weekly meals, recipe imports, grocery aisles, fridge printouts, and Google Calendar.
Field notes
FamilyPlates organizes a household meal cycle from recipe collection through scheduling, shopping, and calendar output. Its page specifies a seven-day planner with breakfast, lunch, and dinner slots, cook assignments, and leftover scheduling, then turns the plan into aisle-grouped quantities and a single letter-landscape fridge sheet. The project identifies itself as MIT-licensed and self-hostable, with a single Docker container advertised at under 80 MB. The running application and integrations are described but not directly demonstrated in the extracted homepage.
