Pull the lever and three reels of real meals spin, then the middle row lands on tonight's dinner. A warm little slot machine for the nights nobody can pick.
Mac & CheeseSalmonPizzaSpaghettiTaco NightBurgersCurryRoastSaladBuilt to end the nightly "what do you want?" / "I don't know, what do you want?" loop. So I made a slot machine that just decides.
One small app, three jobs: decide fast, stay in your own real menu, and never land on last night's dinner twice.
Three reels spin and decelerate left to right, casino-style, and the glowing middle row lands on tonight's pick. The theater is the point, the decision is the payoff.
The reels only ever spin through meals you actually eat. Add, edit, and remove them; mark the fast ones, and flip on a weeknight filter when you want dinner on the table in thirty minutes.
Stuck in a rut? Drop an Anthropic API key in Settings and a "suggest a meal" button proposes something new that is not already on your list. It is the only part that ever touches the network, and it is entirely opt-in.
No account, no app store, no setup. Open it, spin it, eat.
Add the meals you actually cook. It starts with ten placeholders so you can spin on day one, then swap in your own.
Three reels spin and land on the middle row. Filter to weeknight meals first, or hit Surprise Me and take whatever comes.
The verdict card names tonight's dinner with its picture. No more deciding, no more "I don't know, what do you want?"
What's for Dinner? is a single HTML file you save to your home screen like a native app. The whole menu, the spin history, and the optional API key all live on your device, and nothing else.
The food art was a sheet of stickers I cut into 33 transparent illustrations and embedded straight into the file, so the whole thing renders from a single document, even offline. There is no server, so there is nothing to breach and nothing to spam. The optional AI key lives in a settings panel on each person's phone, which means the link is safe to share publicly. It is a small app, built the way I think small apps should be built: useful first, charming second, and quick enough to use before anyone changes their mind.
Open it, pull the lever, and go cook whatever the reels land on. Dinner, decided.
