Add everyone you cook for, then tell Pico their goals, diets, allergies, spice tolerance, food dislikes, favourite cuisines and the appliances in your kitchen. Every plan respects all of it — no more cooking two dinners.

Weekly planning
Plan the week in a few taps
Choose which meals you actually want planned, set a weekly budget and a cook-time limit for busy nights, and generate a full week at once. Don't love a meal? Swap it, lock the ones you want to keep, and regenerate the rest.

Shopping
Shopping made simple
Pico turns your plan into one organised shopping list, checks it against your pantry, and compares the expected spend across Coles, Woolworths and Aldi. See where the money goes by category, tick items off as you walk the aisles, then hand off to the store website when you'd rather shop online.

Cook smarter, waste less
Pico reuses ingredients across the week, suggests batch-cook and leftover nights, and scales servings automatically when guests turn up.
Gets smarter every week
Rate the meals you cook and save your favourites. Pico learns what your household actually eats and plans more of it.
Recipes
Real recipes across 12 cuisines
Every meal comes with a photo, nutrition per serve, clear step-by-step method, and storage and leftover tips so nothing gets forgotten at the back of the fridge.

Free to download. Try it for 7 days.
Pico is free to download and every new account starts with a 7-day free trial — build plans, generate shopping lists and cook from the recipe library at no cost. When the trial ends, a subscription is required to keep using the app. One subscription unlocks the full planner, recipe library, shopping lists, pantry check and supermarket price comparison. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
The subscription renews automatically and is billed to your Apple ID through the App Store, inclusive of GST where applicable. You can cancel at any time in Settings on your iPhone and will keep access until the end of the current billing period. On a new device, use Restore Purchases in Pico's settings to link your subscription again.
Pico is free to download and starts with a 7-day free trial, so you can build plans, generate shopping lists and cook from the recipe library before you pay anything. Once the trial ends, a subscription is required to keep using the app — there is no free tier after the trial. The subscription renews automatically and you can cancel at any time in your App Store settings. The current price is shown on the App Store listing.
What happens when my free trial ends?
If you don't cancel before the trial finishes, your subscription starts and your Apple ID is charged for the first period. You can cancel at any time in Settings on your iPhone (App Store → your account → Subscriptions) and you'll keep access until the end of the current period. No further charges are made after that.
Which countries and supermarkets are supported?
Pico is built for Australia first, with price comparison across Coles, Woolworths and Aldi in AUD. You can use the planner and recipes anywhere — more countries and supermarkets are coming soon.
Is my data private?
Yes. We only collect what's needed to build your meal plans and sync them across your devices, we never sell your data, and you can request deletion at any time. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
Can I get a refund?
Because Apple is the merchant of record, all subscription billing and refunds are handled by Apple. To cancel or request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with the Apple ID used to subscribe, and submit a request there. We cannot issue App Store refunds directly.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. Pico is currently an iPhone app available on the App Store. An Android version is coming soon.
