What's for
dinner?

The meal planner built around the question you actually ask at 4pm — and the one nobody else answers: is there anything I should have taken out of the freezer?

Most meal planners are a recipe database that happens to have a calendar.

This one is a calendar that happens to remember recipes.

The bit everyone forgets

Defrosting is the one thing you can't do late

Every other bit of prep can be rushed. Frozen mince at 5pm cannot. So a meal in Dinner Board names its protein and says whether it comes out of the freezer — and when it does, the reminder stops being a nudge before dinner and becomes a fixed alarm that morning.

The home screen
1

It tells you the night before

Home leads with what's coming out of the freezer, a day ahead — not buried in a list, and not the same time as everything else.

2

Plan a week in about a minute

Tap an empty day and pick something you already cook. One tap plants the meal — the name, the protein, the freezer answer and the reminder all carried from last time. No form, no Save.

3

The library fills itself in

You never file a recipe. Planning a meal quietly creates one behind it, so hearting or rating something later never asks you to retype it.

4

Then the shopping writes itself

Turn the week's meals into a list with the ingredients already gathered up, grouped by aisle so you walk the shop once.

Everything else

A proper cooking app underneath

❄️

Freezer reminders

A fixed morning alarm on the day of the meal, not an offset before it. Move the meal and the reminder re-anchors itself.

📖

Recipes that build themselves

Ingredients, servings, prep and cook time, a photo, categories, hearts, star ratings and notes.

🛒

Shopping list

Add by hand or build it from the week's plan. Duplicate items add up rather than repeating.

📅

Week, fortnight or month

Breakfast, lunch and dinner — or just dinner, if that's the only one you think about.

☁️

iCloud sync, free

Your plan on every device signed into your iCloud. Never behind the paywall — losing your data isn't an upsell.

✈️

Works with no signal

Everything is on your device. Open it on a plane and it's all there, instantly.

📤

Share a recipe properly

A card rendered on your phone, a link, or plain text. Whoever gets it can read it whether or not they have the app.

💾

Your data, exportable

Export everything to a readable file whenever you like. Free, because it's yours.

Privacy

We can't see your data.
That isn't a policy — it's the architecture.

There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no server. Your meals live on your device and, if you want, in your own private iCloud — which only you can read. The app has no third-party code in it at all.

Questions

Before you ask

Do I need an account?

No, and there isn't one to make. Dinner Board has no sign-up, no password and no email address. Open it and start planning.

How does syncing work without an account?

Through your own iCloud. If you're signed into iCloud on your iPhone and iPad, your plan appears on both — handled by Apple, in storage that belongs to your Apple Account. We never receive a copy.

Does it work offline?

Completely. Everything is stored on the device, so every screen opens instantly whether or not you have signal. Syncing catches up later.

What happens if I don't buy Pro?

Nothing changes. Free has no limits on how many meals or recipes you can keep, and nothing you've already made is ever locked away. Pro adds convenience, not access to your own data.

Is it a subscription?

No. Pro for Life is a single purchase tied to your Apple Account, so it follows you to a new phone. There's nothing to renew or cancel.

Can I get my data out?

Any time, free. Settings → Export Data gives you a readable file with everything in it, which you can keep or import back later.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. The app's core logic was deliberately built to be portable, so it's possible later — but nothing is promised, and iOS is the focus.

Stop asking at 4pm

Plan the week once, and let the app remember the rest.
