№ 11/Web-based meal planner
A meal planner that lives
in your browser.
No download, no app store, no setup ritual. Forkboard is a web-based meal planner — open a tab, plan your whole week on one board, and it’s waiting on every device you own.
Open a tab and plan
Forkboard runs entirely in the browser — Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox, on a Mac, a PC, or a Chromebook. There’s nothing to install and nothing to update. You sign in with a magic link or your Google account, and your week is just there, saved to your account and synced everywhere you log in.
That matters more than it sounds. The friction of “download the app, make an account, find it again next week” is where a lot of meal-planning good intentions quietly die. A web-based planner you can reach from any open tab removes the excuse.
Why the browser is the right home for planning
Planning a week is a whole-week decision, and it’s far easier when you can see all seven nights at once on a roomy screen — the way you already plan a budget, a trip, or a project. Forkboard lays the week out as a board, not a feed, so you can take it in at a glance and move pieces around. There’s more on that idea on the desktop meal planner page.
Web-based, not web-only
Living in the browser doesn’t mean chaining you to a laptop. Because everything is in your account, the same plan is on your phone the moment you sign in — and the iPhone app is the full thing, not a companion: plan, rate, scan, and shop right from your phone, with an Android app on the way. Use whichever screen suits the moment; the board just has more room on a big one.
What it actually does
Beyond living in your browser, Forkboard plans for you: it learns your taste from a thumbs up or down, plans by how much energy each night has, builds meals around what’s in your pantry, blends a household’s tastes into one plan, and turns the week into a single grocery list. See exactly how it works, or jump to pricing — there’s a permanent free plan and a 7-day trial with no credit card.
Common questions
Is there a meal planner that works entirely in a browser?
Yes — Forkboard is a web-based meal planner that runs in any modern browser with no install and no app store. You sign in with a magic link or your Google account, and your week is saved to your account and synced to every device, including a full iPhone app (Android coming soon).
Do I have to install an app to use Forkboard?
No. Forkboard works from an open browser tab on a Mac, PC, or Chromebook. There is also a full iPhone app that does everything the web does, in sync, but it is optional — nothing is install-only.
