What is it?

Mealie is a self-hosted web application for storing recipes, planning weekly meals, and keeping a shopping list. Pasting a recipe URL lets Mealie pull in the relevant data automatically, and families can also write their own recipes with the built-in editor.

The project pairs a Python REST API backend with a Vue-based frontend, and it provides an API that third-party applications can use. Recipes can be grouped into cookbooks, and shopping list items can be organised into sections that match a local supermarket.

Mealie is distributed as a Docker image and is aimed at households that want to host their own recipe collection. The interface is translated into more than 35 languages.
