Mealie
What is this?Mealie is a self-hosted recipe manager, meal planner and shopping list. It pairs a REST API backend with a reactive Vue frontend, built for the whole family to use.
Do I install it on my computer, or run it as a website?You host it yourself: Mealie runs as a server with a reactive web UI, so everyone in the household uses it from a browser and nothing gets installed on individual devices.
How do I get it running?Deployment is Docker-first — easy Docker deployment is listed as a key feature, and the official documentation walks through the full setup.
Do I have to type every recipe in by hand?No. Paste a recipe URL and Mealie automatically imports the relevant data, or you can enter a family recipe manually in the UI editor.
Can I group recipes into my own collections?Yes — Cookbooks let you group recipes based on your own criteria, so you can organize them by cuisine, occasion, or whatever system works for you.
Is it available in languages other than English?Yes — Mealie ships translations for 35+ languages, maintained by the community through Crowdin.
Is the project actively maintained?It's an active open-source project with about 13.5k GitHub stars, published releases, and a community Discord for users.
