Mealie
Self-hosted recipe manager with meal planning and grocery lists
Mealie is a self-hosted web application for managing a personal or family recipe collection. It focuses on fast recipe capture (including importing from URLs), organizing and sharing recipes, and turning them into practical meal plans and shopping lists.
Key Features
- Recipe creation and organization with categories/tags and rich recipe pages
- Recipe import from supported websites/URLs (recipe scraping) to quickly save online recipes
- Meal planning and a calendar-style workflow for planning upcoming meals
- Shopping/grocery lists generated from recipes and meal plans
- Multi-user support with authentication and household-style sharing/collaboration
- REST API for integrating Mealie with other tools and automations
- Docker-first deployment options with persistent storage support
Use Cases
- Replace a proprietary recipe app by hosting your own searchable recipe library
- Plan weekly meals and automatically generate a consolidated grocery list
- Share and manage recipes collaboratively within a household or small group
Mealie is well-suited for people who want a private, organized recipe workflow—from importing recipes to planning meals and shopping—through a clean web interface and API-driven integrations.
