What is it?

Norish is a self-hosted recipe manager built around the household: members can plan meals, share groceries, and cook together, with changes syncing in real time across devices.

The app runs as a Docker container alongside PostgreSQL, Redis, and an Obscura service that renders recipe pages when importing recipes from URLs. A MASTER_KEY derives the encryption keys used for stored data, so it must remain stable once set.

The project is written in TypeScript, licensed under AGPL-3.0, and includes a development setup guide for contributors.
