Mealie is a self-hosted recipe manager and meal planner with a FastAPI REST backend and a Vue frontend. It imports recipes from URLs via a built-in scraper, supports meal planning, shopping lists, multi-user households, and offers an OpenAPI for third-party integrations.
Use cases
- self-host my recipe collection
- import recipes from website urls automatically
- plan meals for the week
- generate shopping lists from recipes
- migrate recipes from Paprika or Nextcloud Cookbook
- share recipes with my family via multi-user groups
- integrate meal plans with third-party apps via API
When to choose
- you want full ownership of your recipe data on your own server
- you need URL-based recipe scraping plus manual editing
- you want meal planning, shopping lists, and multi-user households in one app
- you need a REST API for custom integrations or webhooks
When to avoid
- you want a hosted, zero-maintenance solution
- you only need a simple offline recipe notebook without a server
- you cannot run Docker or a Python backend
