Notes / Omnom Is Finally Available
Omnom is finally available on the App Store.
For the past nine years, it has been in a private beta with one very committed customer: my family. It has become our food operating system—the place where we answer the same recurring questions. What are we eating? What do we need from the store? Did someone already add it to the list?
The system is simple:
Meals → Menu → List
Save the meals you like. Add them to your menu. Omnom combines their ingredients into one grocery list, keeps their recipe sources attached, and sorts everything for the way you move through your store. The grocery list writes itself.
It is intentionally fuzzy, like the humans who use it. There are no days in the menu and no sections in the list. Order is enough. There is AI in Omnom, but it is nearly invisible. It helps with the tedious parts without turning dinner into a conversation with a chatbot.
The list syncs in real time, so two people can divide and conquer the grocery store. Omnom is available on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, and each one has found a different role in our house—from planning the week to checking off the last item in an aisle.
I know you could vibe code a grocery-list app. But Omnom is the result of almost a decade of living with one. I have put a lot of care into the details, and I still have plenty of ideas for where it can go next.
Omnom is free for the first month, then $39.99 a year for everyone in your household. I hope you try it—and that it gives your family a little less planning and a little more time around the table.
