App settings
Theme, keeping the screen on while you cook, grocery list order and the day your week starts. On your phone.
Updated November 5, 2026
Open the Cookbook tab, tap your initials, then tap the gear for Settings, then App Settings.
- Theme: System, Light or Dark.
- Keep Screen Awake: stops your screen dimming while you follow a recipe in Let's Cook.
- List Order: sort grocery items by Recents or A–Z.
- Show Recipe Details: shows which recipe a grocery item came from, and how much it needs.
- Week Start Day: the day your planner and grocery weeks begin.
- Reset App Tips: shows the in-app tips again.
These settings are saved on each phone, not to your account. On the web, the planner week starts on Sunday, and Let's Cook keeps your screen on by itself where the browser allows it.
