Ladle for Mealie
Recipes, meal plan & cart
$2.99 · Designed for iPad
MealieCart is now Ladle: your Mealie recipes, cook mode, meal plan and shopping list, and a Walmart or Kroger cart you fill in one tap. Your saved products come too.
Ladle is a home for your Mealie recipes on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and it fills your grocery cart too. Connect it to your own Mealie server and everything you've saved is right there: your recipes, your meal plan and your shopping lists. Then fill your Walmart or Kroger cart from the week's recipes in one tap.
Ladle used to be called MealieCart.
COOK WITHOUT THE MESS
• Cook mode shows one step at a time in big, easy-to-read text
• Your screen stays on while you cook, so you don't have to touch it with messy hands
• Tap a time in a step ("simmer for 15 minutes") to start a timer that rings even when Ladle is closed
• Change the servings and every amount changes with it. Fractions read like a cookbook: 1½ cups, not 1.5
PLAN THE WEEK
• See the week's breakfasts, lunches and dinners at a glance
• Add a recipe or a quick note ("Leftovers", "Pizza night") to any day
• Put the whole week's ingredients on your shopping list in one tap
SHOP TOGETHER
• Your Mealie shopping lists, sorted by aisle
• Tap to tick items off; changes from the rest of your household show up within seconds
FILL YOUR CART IN ONE TAP
• Link each ingredient to the exact Walmart or Kroger product you buy, once: the right brand, size and count
• Whenever that recipe is on your list, Ladle already knows what to add
• Cart review shows every product with its pack count. Switch items off or change counts
• Tap Add to Walmart cart or Add to Kroger cart, then check out yourself. Ladle never checks out or pays for anything
• Mark pantry staples, like salt or olive oil, and Ladle skips them in every recipe
• At Kroger and its family of stores, see your store's prices and choose pickup or delivery
• Done shopping ticks those items off your Mealie list
BRING THE HOUSEHOLD IN
• Invite someone with a QR code: they point their camera at it and make their account right in the app
• Choose who can invite people, manage the household or organize recipes
RUN YOUR MEALIE FROM YOUR PHONE
• Admins can add and remove people, set a new password for someone who forgot theirs, and unlock accounts
• Manage households and groups, and make, download and restore backups
SAVE RECIPES FROM ANYWHERE
• In Safari, tap Share, then Ladle, and your Mealie saves the recipe
MADE FOR SELF-HOSTERS
• Works with Mealie 2.0 and later, on your home Wi-Fi or on the internet
• Sign in with your password, single sign-on, or an API token
• Product links and pantry staples sync between your devices through your own iCloud
• No accounts, no ads, no tracking

Mealie is a free, open-source recipe manager (mealie.io). Ladle is an independent app and isn't made by or affiliated with Mealie, Walmart or Kroger.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
MealieCart is now Ladle for Mealie: everything MealieCart did, plus a whole app for your Mealie.
• Your Walmart and Kroger product links, pack counts and pantry staples are all still here.
• The first time you open it, Ladle signs in with your MealieCart connection, so there's nothing to set up.
• The cart is in the new Cart tab: This week and Cart review, with Add to Walmart cart and Add to Kroger cart, just like before.
• Grocery store, your Kroger sign-in and pantry staples are in Settings → Groceries.
• New: browse and search your recipes, cook one step at a time with timers that ring, plan the week, tick off your shopping list with your household, and save recipes from Safari.
• New: link a recipe's products from its page with Grocery products.
• Admins can manage people, households and backups right from the app.
