Cooking together is teamwork, not project management.
slrp is shared by default — recipes, plans, lists, pantry. No “who added this?” questions, no separate accounts to invite. One couple, one app.
About slrp · est. 2026
The two of us,
one shared kitchen.
slrp is a meal planner for couples who cook together. Paste a recipe URL, plan breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks for the week ahead, and let slrp build a shared grocery list out the back. No rigid weekly grids, no premium tier, no recipes locked behind a wall.

§ 01 · who's behind slrp
Two cooks who got tired of solo apps.
Most meal-planning apps are built like to-do lists for one person. We're two people, one fridge, and a disagreement most weeks about what's for Tuesday.
My partner and I bonded over RecipeTin Eats — neither of us is great at deciding what to cook, and Nagi's recipes gave us answers. After we moved in together we needed a system: less food waste, a way out of the daily “what's for dinner? / I don't know, what do you want?” loop.
We started rating winners in Apple Reminders on her Portuguese scale — bom (good), muito bom (very good), muito muito bom (amazing). It worked. Until the list got too big to manage.
I tried to build an app on top of Apple Reminders, hit the API ceiling, and dropped it for a few months. Came back, started over, and built it properly — a web app with a real database. We named it slrp — the sound she makes when she likes a smell.
slrp lives in the in-between: not a recipe site (we don't write recipes — we link back to the people who do), not a calendar app (your week doesn't run Monday to Sunday and neither does ours), and definitely not a grocery delivery service. It's one fridge, one plan, two people — that's the whole pitch.
“The best meal planner is the one you both actually open on Sunday night.”— the slrp team, every Sunday

What we believe
The week doesn't run Monday-to-Sunday.
Meal plans are flexible recipe collections, not rigid weekly grids. Drag dinner from Wednesday to Friday. Skip Tuesday. Wing it together.
Recipes belong to the people who wrote them.
Every recipe in slrp links back to its original source. We don't claim someone else's recipe as ours, and we don't bury the credit. Always one tap to the source.
Free should mean free.
No premium tier hidden behind a wall, no “unlock shopping mode” button. When that changes — and it might — we'll say so on this page first. Honest beats clever.

- App comparisonsinstall · cook · rate
When we rank meal-planning, recipe, or grocery-list apps, we install and use every app on the list. Criteria: couple-friendliness, free tier quality, recipe URL import, and grocery list workflow.
Hands on - Recipe roundupscook · credit · link back
We cook the recipes we feature. Every recipe links back to its original source — we never claim someone else's recipe as ours, and we never republish full method.
Source-first - Updatesre-test · re-date · re-publish
Posts show a last updated date when we materially revise them. Comparison listicles are re-tested at least once a year — apps change pricing, features, and tiers; our reviews should keep up.

§ 04 · how we make money
We don't — yet.
slrp is free. There's no premium tier, no ads, and no affiliate revenue on app comparison posts. Recipe links go straight to the source — not through a tracking redirect.
When that changes, we'll say so on this page first, and anyone signed up before that day stays on the free tier. Always.

Field notes from a real shared kitchen — what we cook, what we keep changing our minds about, and what we wish we'd known when we started planning meals together. No life stories before the recipe, no AI-generated 2,000-word intros, no affiliate-link traps in the comparison posts.
