What is it?

Recipya is a web application for storing and organizing recipes, aimed at families who want to keep their favorite dishes in one place. You can add recipes by hand, import them from websites, or digitize paper recipes, then group them into cookbooks.

The app can migrate existing collections from Mealie, Tandoor, and Nextcloud Cookbook. It converts measurements between imperial and metric, calculates nutritional information automatically, and offers printing for any recipe.

The project ships as a Docker image and as release builds for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Release builds can self-update from the settings dialog. The project notes that a Rust rewrite is in progress and is not yet ready for self-hosting.
