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.

So close being perfect!
It’s a great app with very intuitive interface. Importing recipes from external browser or built in works perfect, so good, but…
This app is missing one crucial function, the possibility to create an account and share recipes with friends and family within the app.
Sync weekly meal plan, grocery shopping list etc with my second half. Right now I have to use yet another app for that. Please, add this function and take it to perfection!
So close…
Fantastic app
The application is absolutely amazing! The only thing i would like is if it was possible to add you own measurements (eg Swedish “tablespoon” abbreviation msk is not automatically detected).
The pricing is also a huge reason why I prefer this over all others. Syncing a few recipes that you infrequently access should never justify a subscription. If you make large additions to the app i will happily pay for a new version though :)
Fantastico!
Been looking for an app like Mela for a long time, and it doesn’t disappoint. The automatic recognition and import of recipes from ad-ridden websites is an absolute godsend, and the ability to add RSS Feeds and grocery reminders are a welcome bonus. Worth every penny. Get this app!
Fantastic recipe keeper
As a longtime Reeder user I decided to check out Mela and I am really happy. The UI is gorgeous and it has all the features you need from a recipe keeper. A great purchase.
