Frida vs Boardmint

Frida. Host like a chef. You cook because you love feeding people. The full table, the coffee or the wine poured, everyone talking over each other. That's the whole point. The part you don't love: being stuck at the stove, juggling pans, while the eggs go cold and the roast runs late, and the morning or the evening happens without you. Frida runs the whole meal so you don't have to. Tell it your menu, whether it's a brunch spread, a holiday feast, or a weeknight dinner for friends, and it plans the timing across every dish, what to start and what can wait, so everything comes together and lands on the table together. Like a head chef calling the pass, for your kitchen. Cook like you've got a sous-chef, not a cookbook. Why hosts cook with Frida Plan a whole meal, not just a recipe: several dishes, paced to finish together. Works for any gathering: brunch, lunch, dinner, or the big holiday table. One calm timeline that tells you what to do now and what's next. Beautiful, cookbook-grade recipes you'll actually want to cook from. Private and on-device, so you can start cooking without an account. Frida is a sous-chef, not an oracle: it handles the timing and coordination so you can handle the warmth. Your next gathering, without the scramble. Host like a chef. Download Frida.

Boardmint is a practical charcuterie and grazing-board planner for hosts who want portions, shopping, timing, and table setup handled before guests arrive. Choose guest count, occasion, style, and dietary filters. Boardmint builds a complete board with exact item quantities, estimated grocery cost, round and rectangular board-size guidance, category balance, and assembly notes. NEW IN 2.1: HOST READINESS The Host tab now gives every plan a Host Readiness score. It combines board balance, dietary coverage, budget, food-handling timing, event timeline, and serving scale into one 0-100 score with next fixes.
