What Mealie does
Mealie collects recipes — typed in or imported from a link — plans weekly menus from them and generates the matching shopping list.
Several household members work on planning and pantry together; the mobile view stands next to the stove.
Recipe import from almost any website- Weekly planner and shopping list
- Multiple users per household
- Cooking mode for your phone
Good to know before the first start. On first start Mealie creates the account changeme@example.com with the password MyPassword and requires a change at first login. Change it right away.

Common questions
At the recommended size (1 cores · 2 GB RAM · 10 GB Storage) about €4.00 a month, billed by the hour. Stop Mealie and you only pay for storage.
No. No server, no Docker, no terminal commands. You click start and Mealie runs. Updates are tested on our own instances first and then rolled out.
In your own Mealie instance on servers in Germany and France; bulk storage sits in Frankfurt. Add your own S3 bucket and we back up there daily, encrypted.
Mealie is open source and keeps running on your own server. You fetch the files over a time-limited SFTP access and reach the database with the credentials from the dashboard.
