WHAT’S NEW

Forthday updates

A growing record of improvements, written for the people who use Forthday. Each release explains what changed and why it helps.

Beta invitation request form

November 14, 2026 · Private Beta website update

• Replaced the email-app link with a short web form for requesting Private Beta access.
• Visitors can provide a name, email address, general area of interest and optional note, and consent to contact.
• The form validates bot protection before submitting a request to the Forthday support inbox through the sending service; delivery failures show a retry option.

The form does not issue an invitation or open public signup. No automatic approval or reply is promised.

A more hands-on Forthday demo

November 14, 2026 · Public website improvement

• Replaced the three static demo snapshots with an interactive sample household visitors can explore without signing in.
• Try completing and assigning chores, choosing a different dinner, and seeing missing pantry ingredients update the grocery list.
• Mark groceries purchased and put ingredients away, then record a cooked meal and leftover portions in the example.
• Record fictional bill payments and expenses to see the budget recalculate without double-counting payments.
• Switch between Personal and Household sample spaces to understand what is shared and what stays private.
• Added guided actions, responsive workspace navigation and a reset control so people can explore without changing anyone's account.

This is a self-contained fictional simulation, not a second account or the full application. It never reads, sends or saves household information. Private Beta signup remains invite-only.

Smart household chores, leftovers and pantry recipe ideas

November 14, 2026 · Private Beta release

• Choose everyday chores from a searchable library, customize owners and schedules, and create repeating or one-time tasks.
• Record leftover portions after cooking, plan them for another meal, and mark them eaten without deducting raw pantry stock again.
• Find saved and curated publisher-attributed recipes based on measured pantry quantities left after planned meals, and add missing ingredients to groceries.

Leftover storage dates are general guidance rather than a food-safety guarantee. Reminder dates are shown in the app; closed-app delivery is not promised. Public registration remains invitation-only.

A new Forthday homepage and interactive tour

November 14, 2026 · Live website update

• Redesigned the public homepage to explain how Forthday helps households coordinate tasks, schedules, bills, meals and groceries.
• Added a clearer introduction, feature walkthrough, mobile-friendly layout, and a hands-on sample household demo that visitors can explore without creating an account.
• Added a Request a beta invitation link that opens an email to support@getforthdaynow.com for manual review. This does not grant instant access or open public registration.
• Improved page sharing information, keyboard navigation and responsive presentation.

The promotional video is still an unpublished draft. The interactive demo is available now, and signup remains invite-only.

Private Beta invitations

November 14, 2026 · Live website update

• Introduced individually issued, email-bound signup invitation links that expire after 14 days and can only be redeemed once.
• The Forthday product owner can create, review and revoke invitations from a protected management page.
• Invitations do not automatically join anyone to a household, and existing personal records remain separate.

Access is still restricted to invited testers; invitation links are shared privately rather than sent automatically.

Private Beta begins

November 14, 2026

• Forthday is now presented as a Private Beta. Public Beta early access is being prepared, but new account creation remains invite-only.
• Independent email sign-in, email confirmation, recovery, and Cloudflare Turnstile are operating on the live website.
• Two household members tested shared task updates, personal workspace separation, and Android installation.

A warmer household planner

Development candidate · November 11, 2026

• Find tonight’s dinner, your grocery list, and upcoming bills together. Household members with view-only access can follow the dashboard links.
