A short clip of the real tool.

What's inside

Every part of the tool, with real screenshots.

01

Guests, RSVPs and dietary needs

List adults and kids, who's coming and what each person can't eat. Dietary needs carry through to the seating chart, the place cards and the potluck message.

02

Who brings what, without the group chat chaos

List what's needed and who's bringing it, then copy one ready-made message for your group chat. Guest dishes that need reheating go straight into your timeline.

03

A cooking timeline counted back from dinner

Enter prep, cook and rest times for each dish and when dinner is served. It works backwards, adds preheat steps and warns you when two dishes need the oven at different temperatures. The turkey helper gives the thaw day and roasting time.

04

Seating chart and place cards

Set up long or round tables, pick who sits where or seat everyone with one tap. The chart and fold-over place cards print with names already on them.

05

A shopping list that walks the store with you

Each item has a store and a section, so the printed list is grouped the way you shop. Tick things off as they go in the bag.

06

A budget that fills itself in

Food, drinks and supplies come straight from your shopping list costs. Log anything else, like decorations or rentals, and see planned against spent.

Cover, countdown, menu, timeline, oven schedule, seating chart, place cards, recipes, leftovers and thank-you notes, filled in from what you typed. Choose a theme and cover, print on Letter or A4, or switch to blank mode to write by hand.
