How to install

  1. Download the APK on your phone. Tap the button above. Chrome saves mealfolder-1.1.0.apk (about 29 MB) to your Downloads folder.
  2. Open the file. Tap it in Chrome's download bar or open it from the Files app.
  3. Allow installs from this source. Android asks once per app: Settings → Allow from this source, then go back and tap Install. On Samsung phones the switch is under Settings → Apps → ⋮ → Special access → Install unknown apps. Play Protect may offer to scan the file; that is normal for apps installed outside Google Play.
  4. Open Mealfolder and sign in. Create the free account or sign in with the one you use at mealfolder.com. Everything syncs as soon as you are online.

Questions people ask

Is the APK safe? How do I check it?

Every Mealfolder Android build is signed with the same 9GG LLC release key, and the SHA-256 checksum of this file is published on this page. Compare it with sha256sum (Linux/macOS), certutil -hashfile mealfolder-1.1.0.apk SHA256 (Windows) or any checksum app on the phone. If the values differ, do not install it; you did not get our file.

Does it update by itself?

No. An APK installed outside a store does not auto-update. This page always shows the current version, and Settings in the app shows which version you have. Installing a newer version over the old one keeps your account and data, which live on the server anyway.

Can I switch to a store version later?

Yes. The Google Play, Galaxy Store, AppGallery and Amazon builds use the same signing key, so a store version installs over this one without an uninstall.

Is it the same app as the web app?

Same account, same data. The Android app is the mealfolder.com web app in a native shell: it opens mealfolder.com links in the app, adds a home-screen icon and the back button, and works on tablets.

How do I upgrade to Plus or Household?

On the website. The app's Upgrade page opens mealfolder.com in your browser; nothing is sold inside this build. Plus is $12.99 a year and Household $19.99 a year. The free plan (10 recipes, this week's plan, an aisle-sorted grocery list, 10 AI assists a month) stays free.

Does Share → Mealfolder work?

Yes. Share a recipe page from your browser or any app to Mealfolder and it opens the import screen with the link.
