Features

What otherwise lives in your head, in texts and on the fridge door.

Every part is built for two people sharing a home – and the kids get a view of their own, no sign-in needed.

💛

Check in

A feeling, a need, maybe a line. Your partner sees it, so nobody has to guess.

🏠

Home, the way you like it

Today's events, tonight's dinner, what you're counting down to, the bins and the post. Hold a card to move it; each adult has their own order.

📅

Shared calendar

Drop-offs, pickups, activities, holidays and me-time, coloured per person. Can you take Thursday? Ask with one tap. Subscribe in your usual calendar – with birthdays, bin days and the weeks the kids are with you.

Weekly menu with Bävris

Bävris plans the week's dinners from what's already at home, with ingredients and step-by-step instructions. Not in the mood for Tuesday's dish? Ask for a new one for that day, or drag it to another day.

👨‍🍳

Ask Bävris

Describe what you fancy – something quick with chicken, a vegetarian dish the kids like – and Bävris suggests a recipe you save to the cookbook with one tap.

🍲

The right amount of food

The menu counts who eats at home: the kids' ages, and with shared custody only the days the kids are with you. Guests coming? Bävris rescales the recipe and the shopping list.

📖

The cookbook

Swipe through recipes, save your favourites and share a recipe from the web or Instagram straight into the cookbook. Plan it for a day with one tap.

🛒

A shopping list that follows the menu

Every item says which dish it's for, and when a dish changes, so do the items. Tick off what you've bought or clear the list before the next big shop.

⭐

The kids' own app

Chores that earn points, wish lists for Christmas and birthdays and a daily check-in, with a code of their own – without the child seeing anything about you adults.

🔁

Shared custody

Even or odd weeks: Kids shows where each child is, Home counts down to the switch, and the other home sees the calendar from their side.

✅

Lists

What needs doing every week and what needs doing sometime, with a deadline when it matters.

🫙

The appreciation jar

Small thank-yous to each other, opened together on Sunday.

🗑️

Post and bins

Add your address, and Home knows when the bins are collected and the post arrives – and how long the drive to work is.

🎬

Entertainment

Swipe through films and series on your own. Whatever you both want to see is a match.

🌙

Cycle

Log your period and symptoms day by day. You decide whether your partner sees a summary.

💰

Money

The month's budget and your savings goals, with rings that fill up.

💍

Anniversaries

The wedding day and the other days you count: Home counts down, Bävris reminds you, and the day shows in the calendar every year.

👵

Follow a family

Grandparents or the babysitter get a Samsas of their own that shows your week next to theirs – through a link, without seeing anything else.

FAQ

Questions and answers about Samsas

What is Samsas?

Samsas is a family app for two adults and their kids: a shared calendar, a weekly menu with recipes and a shopping list, the kids' chores and wish lists, and a daily check-in on how you're doing. In English and Swedish.

What does Samsas cost?

Samsas is free to use, and a little AI planning is included every month. Samsas Plus costs 49 kr a month or 399 kr a year and adds a weekly menu every week, recipe import and shared custody. One subscription covers the whole household.

How do the weekly menu and the shopping list work?

Bävris, the app's AI chef, suggests seven dinners from what's already in the fridge and freezer, with ingredients and step-by-step instructions. The items go on the shopping list, and each one says which dish it's for. Change a dish and the items change with it.

Does Samsas work with shared custody?

Yes. Set even or odd weeks and the switch day, and you see where each child is, Home counts down to the switch, and the other home can follow the child and see the calendar from their side.

Can the kids use the app?

Yes. Each child gets a code of their own that signs in to a simple view with today's check-in, the week, chores with points and the wish list for Christmas and birthdays. The child sees nothing about the adults.

Can grandparents see our calendar?

Yes. With Follow a family, grandparents or a babysitter get a Samsas of their own that shows your week next to theirs, through a link and without seeing anything else.

What can I ask Bävris?

Ask for a recipe based on what you fancy, what you have at home or what the kids won't eat, or ask about your own week, check-ins and Home. He sticks to food and your household and doesn't talk about anything else. Names are never sent to the AI.

Is Samsas available for Android?

The Android app is in a closed beta on Google Play, and you can become a tester: see samsas.app/en/android. You can use Samsas together whether you have an iPhone or Android.
