Terms of Use

Last updated November 13, 2026

These terms cover your use of the DinnerOS app and this website. "DinnerOS", "we", and "us" mean the people who make DinnerOS. By using DinnerOS, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

Using DinnerOS

You need to be at least 13 to use DinnerOS. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian should agree to these terms with you. You're responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your Apple or Google sign-in safe.

Households

A household shares one plan, its recipes, pantry, and grocery lists. Anyone you invite can see and change them, depending on the role you give them. Only invite people you trust with that. Household admins can remove members.

Your content

Recipes, notes, and anything else you add stay yours. You give us permission to store, copy, and show that content to you and your household so DinnerOS can work. That permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies in backups that expire on their own.

Only add recipes and other content you have the right to use. If you add a recipe from a website, it's for your household's own cooking, not for publishing elsewhere.

Food and cooking

DinnerOS suggests meals, quantities, timers, and substitutions to help you cook. It can't know everything about your food or your kitchen. Always check ingredient labels for allergens, cook food to safe temperatures, and use your own judgment, especially for allergies, medical diets, and anyone with special needs. DinnerOS isn't medical or nutrition advice.

Prices and stores

Prices, products, and availability shown in DinnerOS are estimates and can be out of date. The store's own app or website shows the real price when you check out. When you send your list to a store, your order is between you and that store, under their terms. Some store links may earn us a commission at no cost to you.

DinnerOS Plus

• Plus is a subscription sold through Apple's App Store: $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US. Prices in other countries are set in local currency and shown before you buy.
• New subscribers get a 14-day free trial. If you don't cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, you'll be charged for the plan you picked.
• Plus renews automatically until you cancel. Apple charges your Apple account within 24 hours before each renewal.
• You can cancel anytime in your Apple account settings. Cancel at least 24 hours before it renews. You keep Plus until the end of the time you've paid for.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's rules.
• One subscription covers everyone in the household it was bought for.
• If we change the price, Apple will let you know before it affects you, and you can cancel.

Invite codes

Each household gets a code to share. When a household that has never had Plus enters it, both households get a free month of Plus. A household can use one code, and can earn up to 12 free months from sharing its own. Codes have no cash value and can't be sold. We may take back free months that came from fake accounts or other abuse.

Things you can't do

• Break the law or anyone else's rights using DinnerOS.
• Try to get into accounts or households that aren't yours.
• Disrupt, overload, or reverse engineer the service, or use bots to scrape it.
• Use DinnerOS to send spam or harmful content.

Changes and ending service

We're always improving DinnerOS, so features may change. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms. You can stop using DinnerOS and delete your account at any time from the Household tab. If we ever shut DinnerOS down, we'll give you notice in the app first.

Beta versions

Beta builds through TestFlight are for trying things out. They may have bugs, and features in them may change or go away.

No warranty

We work hard to keep DinnerOS useful and running, but it's provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we don't promise it will always be available, error-free, or right for your needs.

Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, DinnerOS isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as spoiled food, a missed delivery, or lost data. Our total liability for any claim about DinnerOS is limited to the amount you paid us for Plus in the 12 months before the claim, or $50 if that's more. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Apple

These terms are between you and DinnerOS, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for DinnerOS or its content, and has no duty to provide support for it. If DinnerOS fails to meet a warranty that the law requires, you can tell Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price. Apple and its subsidiaries can enforce these terms as a third party. You confirm you're not in a country under a US embargo and not on a US government list of restricted parties.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we'll update the date at the top. If a change matters, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect. Using DinnerOS after that means you accept the new terms.
