Aly

The whole app · real screenshots

Everything Aly ships, shown honestly.

Every image on this page is a capture of the production build, signed into a real test household. Nothing is a mockup, and nothing here is a feature we haven’t shipped.

The daily answer

Tonight opens with dinner already decided.

Most food apps hand you a search box. Aly hands you a decision: one dish, tonight, with its reasoning in a whispered line underneath — you both love Thai · safe for Ava · 25 min. That why-line is the whole product in one sentence: it only exists because Aly remembers you.

Don't like the pick? “Something else” walks the ranked alternatives. Still undecided together? Swipe. But the default is an answer, not homework.

Tonight — the answer, and the reason underneath it.

Swipe together

The deck is how Aly learns, and how ties break.

You each swipe on real dishes; when you both say yes to the same one, that's dinner — no negotiation round, no “I don't know, what do you want?”.

See that little chip — hid 2 · nut allergy? Allergies in Aly are a hard, household-wide constraint. Anything Aly can't prove safe never gets dealt, for either of you, and the deck tells you plainly what it held back. Allergy safety is never a filter you toggle and never something we charge for.

The deck quietly hides what isn't safe — and says so.

Play

Games you win together — or not at all.

Five couple games plus Quests, and none of them score you against each other. This or That deals eight quick food calls; Would You Rather starts dinner-table debates; Who's More Likely is six laughs about who'd actually do it; Date Night Roulette spins up a plan and commits to it.

Your answers stay sealed until you've both played — you can never peek, so every reveal is a real one. And when a game shows Aly a genuine match (“you'd both always pick the taco”), it writes it down. That's the honest trade in every game: two minutes of fun for the couple, a little more taste for the brain. We'd rather tell you that plainly than pretend the games are just games.

Quests

A little checklist, a sealed surprise.

One of you wraps a surprise — a gift, a favor, a note — and seals it with Aly. In front of the seal: up to five small asks. Fold the laundry. Book the table. When the last box ticks, the seal opens and the surprise is theirs.

We built the kindness in structurally. A quest is an offer, not an assignment — nothing starts until your person says “I'm in”, and passing on one is a first-class, guilt-free move with its own warm reply. One live quest per direction, so it stays a gesture and never becomes a chore queue. No deadlines, no penalties, no reminders. The surprise is held on the server and genuinely cannot be seen early — not even in the network tab.

A finished quest — the seal opened on the last tick.

Chat

Talk to each other. Aly listens for the facts.

The thread is the couple's channel first — photos, voice notes, the ordinary logistics of two people who eat together. Aly only speaks when you say its name or arm the Ask-Aly chip, so it never barges into your conversation.

But when you mention that your mother's visiting Friday and she can't do cilantro, that fact quietly lands in the shared memory — and Friday's suggestion just won't have cilantro in it. You talk. It remembers. Both of you know everything.

The shared memory

Us is where you can see exactly what Aly knows.

Every fact Aly has learned sits here as a chip you can read, edit, or delete — nothing hides in a model somewhere. Kids and pets get profiles so “no peanuts for Jake” follows every suggestion. Tasks, notes, saved dishes, and the photo gallery all live one door away.

Notes can be private — enforced by the database's row-level security, not by a checkbox in the interface. A private note never reaches your partner's device, full stop.

The brain, visible — every chip editable, deletable.

Notes & tasks

The home layer: lists, notes, and who's doing what.

Tasks are household-shared — either of you can check off “buy milk”, assign, or set a gentle due date, and a partner's ticks appear live. Notes default to shared with a one-tap Private toggle for gift ideas and half-formed thoughts.

Aly files things here too: tell it “remind us to defrost the chicken” in chat and a task appears with a small ALY tag, so you always know which entries the assistant made.

Shared by default. Private means provably private.

The recipe

From decision to table, without leaving the app.

Every dish opens into a full recipe: tick-off ingredients, clear steps, difficulty and calories at a glance. Cook it logs the meal so Aly learns what actually got made; Order it hands the dish name to your delivery app when it's that kind of night. Saved-for-later dishes wait on their own shelf for the right evening.
