Self-Hosted Recipe Managers and Meal Planners

Online recipes come buried in ads, and saved links break. Self-hosted recipe managers import a recipe from a URL in one click, plan the week's meals and build shopping lists, with the whole household sharing the same data.

How to choose

  • Can it import recipes from a URL automatically (by parsing structured data)?
  • Meal planning, shopping lists and scaling ingredients by servings
  • Multiple users or household sharing, and how readable it is on a phone while cooking
