About The Project

Mealie is a self hosted recipe manager, meal planner and shopping list with a RestAPI backend and a reactive frontend built in Vue for a pleasant user experience for the whole family. Easily add recipes into your database by providing the URL and Mealie will automatically import the relevant data, or add a family recipe with the UI editor. Mealie also provides an API for interactions from 3rd party applications.

• We use VSCode Dev Containers to make it easy for contributors to get started!

If you are not a coder, you can still contribute financially. Financial contributions help me prioritize working on this project over others and helps me know that there is a real demand for project development.

Translations

Translations can be a great way for non-coders to contribute to the project. We use Crowdin to allow several contributors to work on translating Mealie. You can simply help by voting for your preferred translations, or even by completely translating Mealie into a new language.
