A plan when you don't have one.
The afternoon check-in settles what's for dinner. If you have nothing yet, you get two ideas that take under 15 minutes.
Dinner Tonight Coming soon
Help right when dinner happens.
Dinner Tonight is a free text-message coach for parents of kids ages 2 and up. A quick check-in in the afternoon, help if dinner goes sideways, and a short "how did it go?" after bedtime. No app to install.
Launching early 2027, first in the US by text, with WhatsApp to follow. We'll email you once when it's ready, nothing else.
The promise
What you get
Help when it goes wrong.
Picky eaters, a sibling fight, a thrown plate: text your coach and get a short, real answer, usually in under a minute.
Permission to let a night go.
Sometimes the most useful answer is "cereal is okay tonight."
Someone who remembers.
Your coach remembers what you've shared, like the child who won't eat mixed foods or that Tuesdays are hard.
A look back at your week.
Each Sunday, a short summary of your own dinners: what went to plan, what didn't, and what worked.
Put together, that means calmer dinners.
A day with Dinner Tonight
Two check-ins, and help in between
Your coach checks in twice a day, at times you choose. During dinner your coach stays quiet; if things go sideways, you can text anytime. Here's an example day with a coach called Sam.

4:00 PM · Sam checks in
No plan for dinner yet
About 30 seconds, two taps.
Hi Jen, quick one before the evening rush. What's the dinner plan tonight?

Totally normal for a Tuesday. You said last week Theo's fine with pasta if nothing's mixed in. Two ideas that take under 15 minutes…

6:10 PM · only if you need it
Dinner goes sideways
Jen texts first. Sam never does during dinner.
Ava threw her plate because Theo got the blue bowl and now nobody's eating and I'm about to just give them cereal.
That's a bowl fight, not a food fight — the pasta was fine. Two options, either is a win…
Swap and sitCereal, done

8:30 PM · Sam checks in
How did it go?
A sentence or a voice note, under two minutes.
Kids down? How did dinner go tonight — voice or text, whatever's easier.
🎤 0:55 · "Better than it looked at six…"
Worth noticing, because both kids ate after you sat. Nice work on a Tuesday.
An example day. Names are invented, and you choose your own check-in times and your coach's name.

Who is it for?
Parents and caregivers of children ages 2 and up, including families with kids of different ages at the same table.

Do I need an app or a smartphone?
No app. Dinner Tonight works by ordinary text message, so any mobile phone that can text will do. It launches first in the US, with WhatsApp to follow for other countries.
