Mealie
Self-hosted recipe manager and meal planner
Mealie is a self-hosted recipe management app with meal planning, shopping lists, and automatic recipe scraping. Import recipes from any URL, plan your meals for the week, and generate shopping lists—all from a beautiful, mobile-friendly interface you host yourself.
Why Mealie?
Recipe apps scatter your collection across platforms that show ads, require subscriptions, and own your data. Bookmarked recipes disappear when sites go down. You need a single place for all your recipes—one that's fast, ad-free, and always available, even offline.
How It Works
Mealie lets you import recipes from any website with a single URL. It automatically extracts ingredients, instructions, and images. Plan your meals on a weekly calendar, generate shopping lists from your meal plan, and access everything from a clean, mobile-friendly interface.
What Is Mealie?
Mealie is an open-source, self-hosted recipe manager built with Vue.js and Python. It features automatic recipe scraping, meal planning, shopping list generation, multi-user support, and a REST API. Organize your entire recipe collection with categories and tags.
