Getting started

Sign in, set up your household, and add your first meals.

Sign in and set up a household

A household is the group that shares one meal library, week plan and shopping list.

  1. Open the menu (gear) and choose Account to sign in.
  2. Create a household, or join one with an invite link or code.
  3. To share with family, invite them from the same Account screen.

You can use Dish Cycle without signing in. Your meals then stay on this device only, so sign in to share them or use another device.

Add your meals

  1. Open Meals Detail (the menu, or the tab under the Meal Rotation title).
  2. Tap Add Meal and fill in the name, the ingredients and a picture if you like.
  3. Or tap Import to pull a recipe in from a web page.
  4. Ingredients are what feed your shopping list, so list the ones you buy.

Plan the week

  1. On Meal Rotation, tap + on a day, or choose Add a Meal, and pick a meal.
  2. You can also drag a meal from the list onto a day.
  3. Next, see Planning the week and The shopping list.
Meal Rotation: a week with two meals planned.
