Coming soon · a new meal planner from Boldsand
A Mealime alternative that starts with what's in your kitchen
Tell it what food you have. It suggests the meals you can cook now, ranked by the vitamins and minerals you're short on today, and shows where every number comes from.
One email when it launches. Nothing else.
Why now: Mealime has announced that it shuts down on October 21, 2026 (mealime.com and its App Store page, read October 7, 2026). If you need a new place to plan meals, this is what we're building.
How it will work
From your pantry to tonight's meal
No weekly plan to fill in first. It starts from what you already have.
Add what you have
Type a food's name, scan a barcode, or take a photo of your fridge and confirm each item yourself.
See today's gaps
Each vitamin and mineral as a percentage of your daily reference intake, in plain words: covered, on the way, or to go.
Cook what fills the most
Meals you can make from your pantry, ranked by how much of today's gaps they cover, never above the official upper limits for food.
Numbers you can check
Every number shows where it comes from
- Food values from USDA FoodData Central, the US Department of Agriculture's public nutrient database.
- Daily targets from the Dietary Reference Intakes of the National Academies, for your age and sex.
- Cooking counts: nutrients lost in cooking, and how much iron and zinc the body absorbs from a meal.
- Missing data stays missing: when a food has no value for a nutrient, the app says "at least", never a made-up number.
Questions
Mealime alternative: common questions
Is this a Mealime alternative?
It is a different kind of meal planner. It starts from the food you already have and ranks meals by the vitamins and minerals you're short on today. Boldsand is not affiliated with Mealime and can't move a Mealime account, recipes or lists.
When can I use it?
It's coming soon and is being built for iPhone first. Join the waitlist and we'll send one email when it launches.
Where do the numbers come from?
Nutrient values come from USDA FoodData Central, and daily reference intakes from the Dietary Reference Intakes of the National Academies. Every number in the app is being built to show its source.
What will it cost?
Pricing will be shown in the app before you subscribe.
Is it medical advice?
No. It shows your intake compared with reference values, as general wellness information. For a medical condition, pregnancy or breastfeeding, check with a doctor or a registered dietitian.
