Casserole: Meal Train Calendar

When someone you love has a new baby, a surgery, a loss, or just a brutal season, everyone asks the same question: "What can I bring?" Casserole is the answer, organized. FOR THE ORGANIZER • Set it up in five minutes: who it's for, the dates, lunch, dinner or both, drop-off instructions, dietary notes • Send one link. That's the whole invitation — nothing for anyone to sign up for • See the whole meal train on a calendar: which days are covered, which are still open • Choose the days meals are actually needed — every other day, weekdays only, or one day at a time — so nobody drowns in lasagna • Get a note when someone signs up, and a heads-up the evening before a day that's still open • Run more than one meal train at once, and switch between them in a tap • Friend texted you instead? Put their name down for any meal in a tap • Send the meals still open as plain text to any group chat • Occasions for real life: new baby, surgery & recovery, bereavement, illness, welcome to the neighborhood, just because FOR EVERYONE HELPING • Open the link, see the calendar, claim a day, say what you're bringing • Dietary notes and door instructions travel with every meal — no nuts, ring the bell, the dog is friendly • A reminder the morning of, so nobody's lasagna is forgotten • Helping with one meal train never gets in the way of organizing your own • On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, get dish suggestions that respect the household's dietary notes FOR THE HOUSEHOLD They see one calm calendar of covered days — not a group chat with forty-one messages about Tuesday. WHAT YOU NEED Casserole runs on iPhone and iPad, and uses iCloud to share the meal train. Helpers sign up from an iPhone or iPad too. Friends without one can text the organizer, who adds them to the calendar in a tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts and no servers of ours. Everything lives in the organizer's own iCloud and is shared only with the people who get the link. PRICING Free to help. One-time purchase to organize. Anyone claiming a meal, claiming a need, or just checking the schedule pays nothing, ever — Casserole is free to download and free for everyone you send the link to. Setting up and organizing a meal train is a single one-time purchase, no subscription, yours for every train you ever run. PLANNING A POTLUCK INSTEAD?
