Mela - Recipe Manager

Your personal cookbook.

Published by: Silvio Rizzi

Description

Mela is a simple, elegant and modern recipe manager that syncs with iCloud.
SYNC
Sync your recipes with iCloud, either privately (default) or by sharing a recipe library with other iCloud users.
IN-APP BROWSER WITH LIVE PREVIEW
Quickly save a recipe while browsing: If Mela detects a recipe on the currently viewed page, it will be displayed in Mela's native recipe viewer*, on the same screen on the iPad and a swipe-left away on the iPhone. Want to add or view a recipe from outside of Mela? No problem, just use Mela's sharing extension.
FEEDS
Subscribe to your favorite recipe blogs to view all the recipes in Mela's native recipe viewer*.
COOK MODE
The cook mode makes it easy to follow all steps while cooking, displayed using a larger font to make sure everything stays readable even when you're not right in front of your device. You can add multiple recipes to the cook mode, easily letting you switch between them.
TIMERS
No need to switch to another app for setting up a timer. When in cooking mode, Mela let's you easily create and manage timers.
Timers come with support for Live Activities (iOS 16.1+).
SCANNER
Scan a recipe from a book: With the help of text recognition, you can just add it to your personal collection and view it in Mela's native recipe viewer, as any other recipe.
GROCERIES
Mela uses the Reminders.app to manage your grocery list. This has the advantage that you’re always able to access your grocery list on all your devices even if Mela is not installed on a specific device.
CALENDAR
Do your meal planning by using Mela's built-in calendar. It's managed by Calendar.app which also has the advantage that you're always able to access it on all your devices. There's also a widget, showing you the next planned meal from your calendar.
ORGANIZING
Recipes can be organized in categories, marked as “Favorite” or as “Want to Cook”.
PRINTING
Of course, Mela supports printing in case there’s a recipe you want to have on paper or save as PDF.

Please note:
If iCloud Sync is enabled (default), Mela will sync these items with iCloud:
- Recipes
- Browser bookmarks
- Subscription list (feeds)
Not synced:
- Feed recipe entries
- Browser history
Groceries are always stored in Reminders.app
Mela is free to download but will require a one-time purchase to unlock all features.

* Extracting recipes only works for websites that support this, most of them do.

This app is so good, it’s hard for me to imagine how it could have been built any better. I have already recommended it to my friends.

At last

Best-Designed App Ever

I am simply blown away by how seamless the user experience is for this app. From scraping recipes from the bowels of a rambling blog post, to the focus mode that helps me organize cooking multiple dishes in real time, to parsing the scans of my paper cookbooks, to automatically creating grocery lists from my recipes, the designers anticipated everything I could want a recipe app to do and executed it flawlessly. I have become an evangelist of this app with coworkers and family and even at parties. People purchase the app by the time I'm done demoing the features. Thanks for working hard to finally solving organization of all my recipes in such a refreshingly user-centric way.

Was amazing starting to go downhill

If you want a recipe book app for just you this is definitely it. Personally I landed on this app over other apps like it because it had a great family share feature. Everyone in my house uses Apple devices so no worries about compatibility. Started out great I imported about 400 family recipes my wife inherited. Set her and my two oldest kids up with the paid version. And everything worked great. Anyone who added a recipe to the app was synced with everyone else. Everyone could see the calendar and whoever’s turn to cook just had to look. Then it start to get buggy. First my wife couldn’t add recipes others could see in the list. Then we could see the meal she added to the calendar but not the recipe. This kept degrading over time and now updates from anyone doesn’t sync with each other. Honestly if I didn’t have over a 1000 recipes in here I’d try a different app

Most user friendly recipe app I’ve used

I love this app!

BEST Recipe App!!

K-Span on

Love this app! Browse through your other apps and forget the pop-ups, ads, and other annoyances that are blocking what you’re really after… the recipe. This app cuts through that noise and gives you a clean recipe. Categorizes with your own categories, adjust the recipe size, connect to your grocery list app. It is wonderful and I use it ALL the time. I love to recipe shop, mark it for “Want to Make” and have a fun experimenting recipe weekend. We have some new favorites that I wouldn’t have found without Mela. $5 one time - NO stupid subscription (fastest turn-off ever). Buy it. You’ll probably love it too!

Perfect. 100% success.

This is so much more cost effective than Pestle. Mela has had a 100% success rate for recognizing recipes on web pages for me. This does everything I need it to. I don’t use in-app timers or exporting ingredients. I also spend no time on TikTok nor Instagram which apparently Pestle can pull from. However Pestle has about a 90% success rate in recognizing recipes on the web. Mela’s layout is attractive, scaling recipes is easy, taking notes or modifying recipes is simple.

Best App, I use it all the time

I am so glad that I found this app. It is one of the most useful apps I have and I use it constantly. If I see a recipe I like on Instagram I’ll find the poster’s blog and let Mela pull the recipe into the app and add it up my recipe collection. My favorite part is how clean the recipes are once they are pulled from blogs, nothing but the recipe without all the other blathering and no constant resetting/reformatting of the blog site so you’ll see their never-ending ads! I’ve added many of my own recipes so that I have everything in one handy central location. Thanks for such an amazing app!
