Subscription and Account Settings

Subscribing

Grocery lists, Pantry mode, Meal Weeks, and AI-powered recipe import (see Importing a Recipe) are subscriber-only features. Subscribe for $5/month right from the Settings page (via Stripe Checkout) — you can manage your billing details or cancel anytime from that same page (via the Stripe Billing Portal). Everything else in the app — writing/viewing/rating/commenting on recipes, cookbooks, sharing, following, messaging — is free.

Appearance

In Settings, under Appearance:

• Light / Dark / Auto — Auto follows your system's light/dark setting.
• Color theme — Warm, Ocean, Forest, Berry, or Slate. This is independent of light/dark, so you can pair any color theme with either mode.

Profile

• Username — auto-generated when you first sign in, editable anytime. Your username is part of your public profile URL (/u/<username>).
• Display name — shown throughout the app.
• Avatar — upload a custom photo, or keep your Google account picture.
• Default visibility — set whether new recipes and cookbooks you create default to public or private (see Sharing and Visibility).
• Meal Week start day — Sunday or Monday, affects how Meal Weeks lay out their 7-day grid.

Notification preferences

Turn off any of the four notification types (comment, rating, fork, follow) individually — see Community and Messaging. You can also restrict who's allowed to send you a direct message.

Households

Create or join a household to pool Pantry mode matching with people you live with — this is managed from the Pantry page, not Settings.
