Buy once, own forever. No subscriptions, no ads, no tracking. Family Sharing included Mealie on your iPhone and iPad. A friendly way to cook from the Mealie server you already run at home. Look up a recipe, plan the week, and shop with the same lists as the rest of your household. Your recipes stay on your server. RECIPES Find what you feel like cooking. Search the whole library, sort by name, rating, or when you last made it, and narrow it down with tags, categories, tools, or a cookbook. The list can show each recipe's tags or categories too. Open a recipe and everything you need is on one screen. Ingredients, step-by-step instructions, nutrition, notes, and comments from your household. Scale the servings for tonight, check ingredients off as you go, and tap a time in a step to start a timer. Each step shows the ingredients it uses, scaled to your servings. Photos and formatting in the instructions stay right where you put them. Adding a recipe is easy. Write one yourself, paste a link, or share a page from Safari or another app and Mealie imports it for you. If your server has AI set up, it can read the page and translate the recipe as it comes in. On devices with Apple Intelligence you can describe a meal, draft the recipe on your device, and save it to your server when it looks right. Keep the library tidy with tags, categories, and cookbooks. Save favorites for the meals you come back to, and mark a recipe as made so you can look back at when you cooked it. MEAL PLANNING See the week at a glance. Add a recipe or a short note to breakfast, lunch, dinner, or anything in between. Set a few rules for the kinds of meals you like, then ask your server to pick one when you would rather not decide, or fill every empty slot of the week in one go. Today's plan can live on your Home Screen, so you know what is for dinner without opening the app. SHOPPING LISTS Turn this week's meals into a list and take it to the store. Check items off as they go in the cart. They stay grouped by the labels you already use on your server, in the aisle order you are used to. Add a whole recipe when you need a few more things, and untick what you already have at home. The list is saved for everyone in the household, and you can send it to Reminders too. The list you are shopping from can sit on your Home Screen as well. YOUR SERVER Sign in to the Mealie server you host yourself, with your password or an API token, so servers that use single sign-on (OIDC) work too. Behind Cloudflare Access or another proxy? Add custom headers when you sign in. Keep more than one server if you cook in more than one kitchen. Servers on your home network work, including ones with a self-signed certificate. Each server keeps its own recipes, plans, and lists. ALSO INCLUDED - Home Screen widgets for today's meals, a recipe from today's plan, and the shopping list you are using - Cookbooks, plus organizers for tags, categories, tools, foods, and units - Comments on recipes, and a history of when you made them - Hide the Shopping and Plans tabs if you only need recipes - Support for English, German, French, and Spanish - iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad, with a layout built for the larger screen and keyboard shortcuts

Honestly obsessed with this app

I’m genuinely obsessed with Mealie at this point 🥰😭 It’s one of those apps that just quietly becomes part of your routine and then you realize you’d be really annoyed without it.Super easy to use, looks clean, and makes keeping all my recipes organized feel way less chaotic. I also really appreciate how responsive and kind the developer is. Whenever I’ve had a question or suggestion, they’ve actually listened and taken it seriously, ❤️Honestly, I’m just very very happy with it. My only tiny wish would be for the app to play a sound when a timer finishes, because that would make it basically perfect for me.Apart from that: genuinely such a great app. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.

For 99 cents this is an excellent companion app for the self hosted Mealie platform. It is user friendly and has several nice QoL features. Additionally, I have found the customer support to be top notch. After finding a limitation with the app, I emailed the developer, and they responded within 24 hours and had the issue resolved within one week. Easy 5 stars.

An absolute game-changer for self-hosted Mealie setups. The UI is clean, lightning-fast, and built specifically for actual kitchen use without any clutter or bloat. Best of all, it's a one-time purchase for $0.99 instead of the predatory subscription models plaguing every other app out there. Huge respect to the developer. Worth every penny and an absolute must-have for anyone running Mealie.

This is the best mealie app on the App Store by far. It does everything it needs to at a very fair price and with no subscription, I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Developer is also very responsive and clearly cares about the product. I recommended a feature and they added it later the same day!
