Moving from Mealime? Keep the recipes you actually cook.

Mealime closed on 21 October 2026 and said it would delete its users' data (source: mealime.com/closing, 28 October 2026). If what you liked was planning a week from recipes you already cook, MealPlan Kitchen does that: it keeps your recipes in one place, fills the week from them, and writes the shopping list from the plan.

Who this is for, and who it isn't

MealPlan Kitchen is for people who have recipes they trust and want them planned, shared and shopped for. It is not a recipe discovery app. It does not hand you a catalog of new dinners to pick from. If you used Mealime mainly to be told what to cook, another planner will suit you better. If you used it to organize the handful of meals your household already eats, read on.

What you can do here

• Bring your recipes in. Paste a link, photograph a recipe card, paste plain text, or type one in. Each arrives as a clean recipe you can edit before saving.
• Plan the week from them. AutoPlan suggests meals from your own recipes, weighing what you cooked recently and how the household rated it. Accept, skip or swap, and the week fills in.
• Repeat a good week. Copy Last Week Forward brings last week over, and Week Templates save a week you liked.
• Shop from the plan. The shopping list builds itself from the planned week, and flags what your pantry already has.
• Share the kitchen. Everyone in the household sees the same plan, and Who Eats Here flags who won't eat what.
• Cook from it. Cook Mode shows large step-by-step text and keeps the screen awake.

MealPlan Kitchen runs in your browser and installs to your home screen, so phone, tablet and computer all use the same account.

What it costs

Signing up is free. MealPlan is free to use, with limits on recipes, cookbooks and monthly imports. Premium lifts the limits. Prices are on the pricing page.

Questions

Can I import my Mealime account?

No. MealPlan Kitchen has no importer for Mealime, and Mealime said it would delete its users' data when it closed (source: mealime.com/closing, 28 October 2026). If you saved favorites anywhere else, such as a link, a screenshot, a note or a recipe card, you can bring them in by link, photo or pasted text.

Does MealPlan Kitchen give me recipes to choose from?

You bring your own. It starts empty and fills with the food your household eats. New accounts can add Starter Recipes, so there is something to plan with on day one.

Is it free?

Signing up is free. The free plan has limits on recipes, cookbooks and monthly imports, and Premium lifts them.

Can my partner or family use it too?

Yes. A kitchen is shared, so everyone you invite sees the same recipes and the same plan.

Is there an app in the App Store?

Not yet. It works in your browser now and installs to your home screen like an app.
