Mela – Recipe Manager
Mela organizes recipes from supported websites or scans, with cook mode, groceries and meal planning.
Choose it for keeping a personal recipe collection across Apple devices.
Web extraction, readable cooking steps and integrated timers connect collecting recipes with using them.
Keep in mind: Recipe extraction depends on the source site's structure and OCR needs checking; buying the app does not grant rights to paid recipe content.
