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
