Meal Planner
A private meal planner in one HTML file on your machine: the week's meals and the shopping list that falls out of them.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
It's half past five, everyone's hungry, and the question 'what's for dinner' has once again arrived without warning, as it has every day for years. Meal Planner settles the week in advance: each meal, its day from Monday to Sunday, and notes for the recipe page or the thing to defrost. Deciding once, calmly, beats deciding seven times in a hungry kitchen.

- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in (Meal, Day and Notes) stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of meal planner entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Questions people ask
How does the Meal Planner work?
You assign each meal to a day of the week and add notes — the recipe, the shopping it needs, who's cooking. Ten minutes on Sunday and the week's dinners stop being daily emergencies.
Can the Meal Planner help me shop for groceries?
Indirectly but genuinely: with the week's meals written down, the shopping list writes itself from the plan. The notes field is a good place to keep each meal's ingredients.
Does the Meal Planner require an account or app?
No — it's one HTML file that runs offline in your browser, pinned to the family laptop if you like. Nothing leaves the page, there's nothing to sign up for, and the file is yours for good.
