Profile & Settings

Opening your account

• iPhone: on Home, tap the account button in the top right. It shows a person icon, or your initials once you’ve added your name.
• iPad: tap Account in the sidebar.

Everything on this page starts from there.

Your name

Marinaid uses your iCloud account, so there’s no separate username or password. iCloud doesn’t share your name with apps, so Marinaid asks for it. Household members see it when you invite them.

To add or change it, go to Account → My Profile and tap Name. My Profile also shows how many recipes you have and how many you’ve cooked.

Household

A household shares recipes and grocery lists between the people in it. Inviting people requires Marinaid Pro.

To invite people:

1. Go to Account → Your Household.
2. If you like, give the household a name. Members see it when they join.
3. Tap Add People. If you haven’t added your name yet, Marinaid asks for it first.
4. Choose a contact. They need to be in your contacts and have an iCloud account.
5. Choose the email address or phone number linked to their iCloud account, or tap Use a different email or phone.
6. Send the invite message that appears, using Messages, Mail or any other app. It includes a link to join.

To join a household: install Marinaid, then tap the link in the invite. Marinaid opens and shows You’ve Joined a Household.

To remove someone (household owner): go to Account → Your Household, swipe left on their name, and tap Remove.

To leave a household (member): go to Account → Your Household and tap Leave Household. You lose access to the household’s recipes and grocery lists. Your own recipe library stays on your account, and anything you added to the household stays visible to the other members.

To end a household (owner): go to Account → Your Household and tap Disband Household. Everyone loses access to the shared recipes and grocery lists. Your own library isn’t affected.

Preferences

These are under Preferences in Account.

Setting	What it does
Nutritional Goals	Your nutrition targets. Requires Marinaid Pro.
Groceries	Sync your grocery list with Apple Reminders. See Sync to Apple Reminders.
Cooking Reminders	Occasional notifications reminding you to cook. Turning it off also cancels any already scheduled.
Beverage Pairings	Shows wine, beer and non-alcoholic drink suggestions on a recipe. Requires Marinaid Pro and Apple Intelligence.

Deleting your data

Deleting your data permanently removes everything Marinaid stores, both on this device and in your iCloud account. It can’t be undone. If you might want your recipes later, go to Account → Export Data first to save a copy.

1. Go to Account.
2. Under Support, tap Support Tools.
3. Tap Delete App Data.
4. Type DELETE to confirm, then tap Delete App Data.
5. When you see App data deleted, force-quit Marinaid and reopen it to finish resetting. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, then swipe Marinaid up and off the screen.

What gets deleted:

• All recipes, collections, and photos
• Grocery lists and meal plans
• Cooking history and timers
• Your Marinaid profile and preferences

What isn’t affected:

• Your iCloud account
• Your Marinaid Pro subscription, which is billed by Apple. To cancel it, see Managing Your Subscription.

If you share a household

• A household you created is deleted completely, and everyone you shared it with loses access.
• A household you joined is left automatically.
• Anything you added to someone else’s household stays there, because only the owner can remove it: recipes, cooks, and grocery items. If you want those gone, ask the owner to delete them before you delete your data.
