Holiday Dinner Planner builds a step-by-step kitchen schedule backward from your chosen mealtime, covering dishes for holidays, Sunday roasts and other large dinners. It accounts for oven temperatures, burner count and resting times, and lets guests bring dishes into the plan. Dinners stay on the iPhone with no account, and the app offers a free plan for up to three dishes.

About

Get every dish on the table at the same time.

Holiday Dinner Planner works backward from the moment you want to eat and builds one calm, step-by-step kitchen schedule — for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Friendsgiving, a Sunday roast or any big dinner.

TELL US WHEN YOU'RE EATING Pick the occasion and the time. Add your dishes from ready-made menus or your own. The app plans everything: when to preheat, when the turkey goes in, when it comes out to rest, and when the potatoes, stuffing, gravy and rolls start.

YOUR WHOLE KITCHEN, ONE TIMELINE • Knows one oven can only be at one temperature, and schedules temperature changes for you • Never plans more stovetop dishes than you have burners • Uses resting and holding times so dishes can wait while others finish • Spaces out hands-on prep so you're never asked to do two things at once • Works with two ovens, slow cookers, air fryers and pressure cookers

SOMEONE BRINGING A DISH? ADD THAT TOO Mom's bringing mashed potatoes at 3:15 and they need 20 minutes in the oven? Add who's bringing it and when, and the plan fits the reheating around everything else. Dishes that arrive ready to serve take no oven space at all.

KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO NEXT The next step is always at the top, with a countdown. Cook Mode shows it in huge type you can read from across the kitchen and keeps the screen awake. Follow along on your Lock Screen, too.

RUNNING LATE? ADJUST THE PLAN Turkey needs longer, or a guest is stuck in traffic? Tell the app. Only the steps that depend on it move — and if dinner itself needs to shift, you choose.

SAVE THIS YEAR'S MEAL FOR NEXT YEAR Every dinner is saved. Tap Use Again next year and your dishes, kitchen and who-brings-what come along.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Your dinners stay on your iPhone.
