Meal train: a private, free meal sign-up calendar
Private: only the people you send the link to can see it.
A meal train is the easiest way for friends to help after a new baby, a surgery or a loss. Start yours in under a minute, share one link, and let people pick a day to bring supper.
How we keep it private
- An unguessable link. Random, never the family’s name.
- Never on Google.
- The address only shows to people who sign up for a day.
- Make a new link anytime and the old one stops working.
- No ads.
- We never sell your data.
How it works
- Say who it’s for and pick the days (up to 60).
- Add allergies and drop-off notes so nobody brings the wrong thing.
- Share the link by text or email. Friends pick a day and say what they’re bringing; you get an email each time.

Made for real life
- No account. You get a private link to manage the calendar; helpers need nothing at all.
- Private. Meal train pages are kept out of search engines, and the drop-off address only shows to people after they sign up for a day.
- More than meals. Add favours without a date: dog walking, rides, a grocery run.
- English or French.
