The bits around it

The little things that make everyday easier

From lock-screen widgets to Salling deals in the shopping list: the things that make everyday a little easier are already here.

Shared and private cookbooks

Share a book with the people you cook with, or keep a private one just for you. It sits alongside your others, out of everyone else's sight.

Widgets on home & lock screen

Today's dish and the shopping list on home and lock screen. With Siri Quick Actions you can reach the essentials without opening the app.

A pantry, so you know what you've got

Keep track of pasta, cans, spices and what's in the freezer. A glance before you shop, so you don't come home with three tins of tomatoes when there are already two.

Salling deals in the list

Zimmer matches your shopping list against yellow-sticker items in Salling stores. Save money, and save food from the bin.
