Why Forkcast

Everything between "I'm hungry" and dinner, handled.

Most meal planners give you a calendar and wish you luck. Forkcast does the thinking: what you like, what's in the fridge, what's on sale, and how much time you actually have on a Tuesday.

A grocery list that writes itself

Every plan rolls up into one organized list — grouped by aisle, de‑duplicated, and already minus what's in your pantry. Share it with your household and check things off together in real time.

Plans that fit real schedules

Tell Forkcast which nights are chaos and which are chill. Soccer practice gets a 15‑minute stir‑fry; Sunday gets the braise.

Learns what your table loves

Thumbs up, thumbs down, "the kids won't touch it." Recommendations sharpen every week, and your allergies and diets are never an afterthought.

Import any recipe

Paste a link, snap a photo of grandma's index card, or type it out. Forkcast cleans it up, scales it, and slots it into your plan.

Zero‑waste leftovers

Roast a chicken Monday, and Forkcast plans Wednesday's tacos around it. Less tossed food, less spent money.

How it works

Sunday, 5 minutes. Then you're done for the week.

No more 5:30pm panic, no more third trip to the store.

1

Tell us about your table

Who's eating, what they'll eat, how much time you've got each night, and your weekly budget. Takes about two minutes, once.

2

Get a plan, tweak it

Forkcast drafts your week. Swap anything with one tap — "something lighter," "use the salmon," "make it Thai" — and it rebuilds around you.

3

Shop once, cook calm

Your list syncs to your phone (or your grocery delivery app). Each night, open the recipe, hit start, and follow along step by step.

"We stopped ordering takeout three nights a week."

I've tried every planner out there. This is the first one that understood that Tuesday is not a Sunday. The 15‑minute dinners on busy nights are the whole reason I still use it.

The leftover planning is clever. It noticed I'd have half a bunch of cilantro left and quietly worked it into Thursday. My fridge has never been this empty on Saturday.

Shared list with my partner means no more "did you get onions?" texts. We've cut our grocery bill by about a quarter and I honestly didn't expect that.

FAQ

Good questions.

Does it handle allergies and diets?+

Yes. Set restrictions per person — vegetarian, gluten‑free, nut allergy, low‑FODMAP, halal, kosher, and more. Forkcast never suggests a recipe that conflicts, and it flags any recipe you import that does.

Can I use my own recipes?+

Absolutely. Paste a URL, take a photo of a cookbook page or handwritten card, or type it in. Forkcast parses ingredients and steps, lets you correct anything, then treats it like any other recipe for planning and lists.

What if I don't like a suggested meal?+

Swap it with one tap. You can ask for something specific ("faster," "vegetarian," "use what's in my fridge") or just shuffle. Your grocery list updates instantly.

Which grocery delivery services work with it?+

Plus and Household plans can send lists straight to Instacart, Amazon Fresh, Walmart, and Kroger. Or just use the built‑in list in store — it's organized by aisle for whichever shop you pick.

Is there a family or shared option?+

The Household plan covers up to six people, each with their own preferences and dislikes. Everyone sees the same plan and list, and you can assign who's cooking which night.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes — no contracts, no hoops. Cancel in two taps from settings and keep access until the end of your billing period. Your recipes and plans export as a tidy PDF or spreadsheet whenever you want them.

Your next week of dinners is five minutes away.
