From meal plan to list

Build the list in one tap

Plan the week's meals, and Zimmer combines the shopping across recipes and sorts it by aisle, so you walk the store without doubling back. At the bottom of the list sits a small control: one tap, and the list keeps itself up to date as you change the calendar.

Combined for you

Onion twice becomes one line

If two dishes call for onion, you don't end up with two onion lines to add up yourself — Zimmer merges them into one. Same with everything else: the amounts from the week's recipes are gathered item by item, so the list stays short and easy to shop instead of a run of duplicates.

The list remembers

Set the amount once

Type "500 g tomatoes" once, and the list remembers. Next time you just type "tomatoes," Zimmer suggests 500 g. Not right? Correct it, and it remembers the new one. For the things you always buy in the same size — mushrooms, chopped tomatoes — you can skip the amount entirely, so it gets quicker every time.

Share a kitchen?

One list, shared

Live together, and you see the same list. One person checks off milk in the store, and the other sees it right away — no double buys, no notes that don't match up. You can both add items, and the list keeps track of who checked off what.

Questions & answers

Questions about the shopping list

More questions? There's more in the full FAQ.

How does the shopping list work?

Plan the week's meals, and Zimmer gathers the shopping: combined across recipes and sorted by aisle. One tap on the control at the bottom keeps the list updated from your calendar. The list remembers the amounts you usually buy. You can add anything you're missing yourself.

Can we share one shopping list?

Yes. Share a kitchen with your partner, family, housemates or whoever you shop with. You all see the same shopping list: one person checks off milk, the other sees it right away. More on sharing.

Can I add my own items?

Yes — you can put anything on the list, not just what comes from the recipes. Type an item in the field, or say it out loud, and it lands next to the others. You can edit quantities, merge two lines and check things off however you like, and the list remembers the amounts you usually use.

Are the prices exact?

No, they're estimates. The numbers aren't prices from a specific store, just a general price level so you can see roughly where the week lands. You can turn the level up or down in settings, or turn prices off entirely.

Does Zimmer know what I already have at home?

Yes, if you use the pantry. Scan the receipt after shopping, and the items settle into the pantry on their own. Next time the list gathers from your meal plan, Zimmer subtracts what you already have — so you don't buy a third jar of capers.
