02 The problem

Every evening, the same question.

01Different tastes

Kids, partners and grandparents all like different things. Someone is always unhappy.

02Scattered recipes

Saved Reels, screenshots, grandma’s notebook. Nothing is in one place.

03Decision fatigue

Parents decide dinner alone, every single day, with no help.

365

dinners a year.

And every one starts with the same question: what are we cooking tonight?

03 The solution

One app.
Four small rituals.

tommi turns the daily “what’s for dinner?” into a calm family habit: scan, vote, shop and collect.
