Plan your week on the screen
you actually plan on.

Why planning wants a bigger screen

Picking one recipe is a quick, in-the-moment thing — perfect for your phone.Planning seven dinners is a different job. It’s a whole-week decision — the night you’re wiped, the night you host, the roast on Monday that should become tacos on Thursday — and it’s far easier when you can see the whole week at once on a roomy screen. That’s why so many plans fizzle: a recipe saved on the go is easy to forget by the time you’re staring into the fridge at 5:47.

Think about where you plan everything else in your week. A budget, a trip, a project — they live on a laptop, in a board or a sheet or a doc, where you can see the whole thing at once and move pieces around. Dinner deserves the same surface. Forkboard gives it one.

What a board does that a feed can’t

Forkboard lays Monday through Sunday out as a board — think Trello or Linear for your weeknight meals. Because the board can see the entire week at once, it can be smart in ways a one-recipe-at-a-time feed simply cannot:

• Plan by energy. Tag a fifteen-minute Monday and a two-hour Sunday, and the week arranges itself around the time you actually have.
• Thread leftovers through the week. Monday’s roast chicken becomes Thursday’s tacos — the board already knew, because it can see both days.
• Build around your pantry. Tell it what’s in the fridge (or snap a receipt) and the week is planned around what you already own.
• Learn your taste. Thumbs up, thumbs down — no endless recipe feed, no hour-long quiz. Tomorrow’s board reflects today’s ratings.

A household shares one board, too: two cooks, two taste profiles, one week that works for everyone. The longer story is on how it works.

A full app on your phone, too

Web-first doesn’t mean web-only, and the phone app isn’t a sidekick. Forkboard runs in any browser and ships as a full iPhone app that does everything the web does: plan the week, rate meals, scan your pantry, blend a household, and shop the list — all in sync, on whatever screen you’ve got. We lead with the big-screen board because seeing seven nights at once is genuinely nicer there, not because anything’s missing on your phone. An Android app is on the way.

How it compares

If you’re weighing the phone-first incumbents, the honest version is on Forkboard vs Mealime. The short of it: they’re built to hand you a recipe; Forkboard is built to plan your week.
