Mealie - Recipe & Meal Planner

An iOS client for a self-hosted Mealie recipe server, combining cooking views, shared plans and shopping lists.

Our take

Consider for a household already operating Mealie

Serving scaling, step timers and server-backed lists connect planning with the recipes you maintain.

Keep in mind: A compatible server and connectivity are required. AI import or generation depends on separately configured server or eligible device features, not the app minimum alone.

What you can do

  • Browse and organize server recipes
  • Scale ingredients and use step timers
  • Plan meals and shared shopping
  • Export supported lists to Reminders

Good for

  • Users who can administer their own Mealie service and check imported recipes.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting hosted recipe storage or automatic medically suitable meal plans.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 26.0.
  • A compatible server and connectivity are required. AI import or generation depends on separately configured server or eligible device features, not the app minimum alone.

Privacy & permissions

The publisher says recipes stay on your server. API tokens, custom headers and optional AI connections have their own security and processing implications.
