A meal grid that behaves like a spreadsheet
Breakfast, lunch and dinner for every member across all 31 days, on a frozen-header grid you can fill in seconds. Half meals are a real thing in a mess, so they are a real thing here too.
Mess · Hostel · Shared house
Nobody argues about the meal bill again.
Log the meals, the bazar and the money your manager collects. The app works out what every single person owes — or is owed — and keeps it live for everyone in the house.

Everything a mess actually needs
One app for the meals, the money and everyone's balance
Built from how shared kitchens really run in Bangladesh — a manager holding the cash, someone doing the bazar, and everyone eating a different number of meals.
Bazar and manager money, itemised
Every grocery run and every deposit, with who bought it and who paid for it — so a month-end question has an answer instead of an argument.
A fair balance, per person
Deposits minus meals, utilities and special meals. In credit or owing, at a glance.
Special meals & shared bills
Feast days priced at their own rate; electricity and wifi split evenly across whoever is in.
Join with one link
Share a link, they tap it, they are in. No House IDs read out over the phone.
Analysis and a month-end PDF
Charts for spending and the cost-per-meal trend, plus a clean monthly report you can send to the group and settle from.
Permissions, history and a trash bin
Decide who may enter meals or edit them. Every change is logged with a name against it, and a deleted entry is recoverable rather than gone.
Made for daily use
Dark mode, several currencies, meal reminders, and Google or email sign-in.
Works with no signal
The last figures are cached, so it still opens and reads. Write an entry with no connection at all and it waits on your phone, then files itself when you are back.
Full Bangla, or English
Every screen and every number, not just the menus. Switch whenever you like — and in Bangla the figures are set in Bengali digits too.
Whose turn for the bazar
Put the month on a rota and the dashboard says whose day it is. Their phone reminds them, so nobody in the house has to.
A shared list, live from the shop
Everyone adds what the house needs. Whoever goes fills in prices as they walk the market, and the rest of the house watches it happen.
Who is around right now
A live dot beside anyone connected, and when the rest were last here. The dot only stays lit while their phone keeps saying so, so it goes out by itself.
Option one
Cost per meal, worked out at month-end
The classic mess rule. Everything spent on bazar is divided by every meal eaten, so the rate is whatever the month actually cost.
rate = total bazar ÷ total meals
Option two
A fixed rate the manager sets
For houses that charge a flat price per meal and let the manager carry the difference. Set it once and every figure downstream follows.
rate = whatever the manager sets
Up and running in minutes

Now in your browser
The same house, on a proper keyboard
Filling a 31-day meal grid on a phone is fine. Doing it for six people at month-end is not. The web app is the same account and the same live data, on a screen with room for the whole month at once.

Pricing
Free forever. Ad-free if you want it.

Before you install
Questions people actually ask
Is Bachelors' Meal Manager free?
Yes. The Android app is free and funded by ads. You can switch the ads
off for 24 hours by watching a couple of short rewarded ads — how many
depends on the number of members in your house — or subscribe to
remove them permanently and unlock the browser app.
Does everyone in the house need the app?
No. Only the person keeping the book needs it. Members are names on a
roster, so a six-person mess where one person does the accounting
works perfectly — but anyone who joins gets their own live view of
their balance.
How is each person's share calculated?
Two ways, and the house picks one. Either the cost per meal is derived
at month-end (total bazar divided by total meals), or the manager sets
a fixed rate per meal. Your balance is then what you deposited minus
your meals, your share of utilities and any special meals.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The app keeps a local cache of your house's data, so it opens
and shows the last fetched figures with no connection. You can also
write new entries with no signal — a bazar item, a meal, a utility
bill, manager money — and they are kept on your phone and filed into
the month once you are back online. Before anything uploads, the app
shows you what each parked entry will change. It is not a fully
offline app, though, and cannot be: this is a shared cost
calculation, so what you write has to reach the same figures everyone
else is reading. You will need a connection eventually — just not at
the moment you are standing in the shop.
Can I use it in a browser?
Yes — the same app runs at
bachelorsmealmanager.web.app
on any desktop or laptop browser, with the same account and the same
live data. The browser version carries no ads, so it is included with
a subscription.
What happens to my data if I stop using it?
It stays in your house until somebody deletes it. You can remove your
account and everything attached to it at any time — from inside the
app, or from the
account deletion page.
