How to use Peas of Mind

A short tour of each part of the app, for finding your feet.

Home

Your day at a glance

The top shows the weather (if you turn it on) and what's coming up today.
The big card is today's meals. Swipe it for the rest of the day, or choose something else for it in Settings › Home screen.
What's coming lists your to-dos and the next plans. Tick things off right there.
The round buttons under the header are shortcuts: add a recipe, snap a dish, leave a note for everyone.

Tip: Tap the faces at the top right to open Settings.

Meals and the family's plans, one week at a time

Each day shows activities and events first, then breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Tap + Add on a meal to pick one of your recipes, a quick meal or eating out.
Add activities like swimming and events like birthdays, say who they are for, and repeat them weekly.
Month shows the whole month at once. History shows what you ate over the last 90 days.

Tip: Connect the calendars on your phone in Settings › Planner & Calendars, birthdays included, and they show up here too.

Your household's own cookbook

Add a recipe by hand, or paste a link from a recipe website and it fills itself in.
On a recipe you can change the servings, send the ingredients to Groceries, or put it on a day.
Cook mode shows one step at a time, big, and keeps the screen awake.
Cook from pantry shows what you can make with what's at home, even if a few things are missing.

Tip: Add a note to a recipe, like 'less chilli next time'. Everyone in the household sees it.

One shared list for the shop

Type an item and it files itself under the right aisle.
Tick things off as you shop. Tapped the wrong one? Tap it again straight away to undo.
The Pantry is what's at home. Mark things running low and put them on the list in one tap.
In the Pantry, scan a barcode to add a product without typing.

Tip: Changes show on everyone’s phone straight away, so you can split up in the shop.

Jobs, big and small

Make lists, like Home or School, and add tasks with a due date and time if they need one.
A list can be shared with everyone at home, or kept just for you.
Tick the box to finish a task. Swipe a task to edit or delete it.
Tasks that are due can send a reminder. Choose when in Settings › Notifications.

Tip: Tasks with a due date also show on Home, so nothing slips.

Share it with the people you live with

Invite people in Settings › Account & Household. They join with your code and see everything you do.
Home screen sets your name, what the big card shows, the shortcuts and the weather.
Choose your notifications, units, and how each page looks.
Export your data or delete your account under Data & privacy.
Found a bug, or thought of something the app should do? Settings › Feedback.

Tip: Show hints again brings back the little tips if you've dismissed them.
