For busy families

Your weeknight dinners, planned and prepped.

Plan your dinners, shop one list, and know what to prep ahead—so eating well fits your week.

One less thing to figure out when everyone’s hungry.

Everyone’s hungry. You already have a plan.

Dinner is picked. The groceries are bought. Open the Tonight tab to see what’s left to cook. One list, so you’re not buying the same thing twice. A decided week, so takeout isn't the only option when you're behind.

Questions before you start

What happens after my 14-day trial?

The trial is free and does not ask for a card, so it does not charge you when the 14 days end. To keep rootd Pro, choose $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year. If you don’t, Pro access ends. A paid plan renews until you cancel. Cancel before the renewal and you keep access through the time you already paid.

Does rootd include recipes or do I bring my own?

Both. rootd includes a recipe library, and you can bring recipes you already cook. Paste a recipe URL or the recipe text and rootd adds it to your library. Plan those dinners alongside the library, and save favorites and notes.

Can I send the shopping list to Instacart, Whole Foods, or Kroger?

Not yet. rootd gives you one shopping list, organized by aisle. You shop it yourself. We are considering partnerships to allow this in the future with Instacart, Whole Foods, and Kroger.

Will the meals get repetitive by week 3?

You pick your dinners so it doesn’t feel repetitive. We have a catalog of 100s of recipes. It can be more efficient and familiar to keep your favorites and try a new dish every now and again!

Do I have to prep on Sunday?

No. Prep is a guide for the window you have, not a required Sunday ritual. Food that tastes better cooked at dinner stays out of the ahead-of-time list.

Why rootd exists
rootd began with work, daycare pickup, and dinner needed by 5:30. We built it to keep the week’s planning, shopping, and cooking together.
