Mealime closes 21 October 2026

Mealime is shutting down. Keep your recipes, exactly as they were.

Mealime's notice says every account is deleted when the app closes, and there is no export button. Mealfolder holds a rescue index of every recipe Mealime has published, 3,291 of them as of 9 September 2026. Paste the names of your favourites and we save the exact recipes, with photos, ingredients and steps, into a recipe box that is yours.

Rescue your Mealime favourites

Free plan: 10 recipes and this week's plan. Plus is $12.99 a year for unlimited.

Next screen: create a free account, tick the matches, done. Works on the phone and on a computer.

How to get your favourites out of Mealime

  1. Open Mealime and go to Favourites (the heart tab). Your meal plan history works too.
  2. Copy the recipe names. On a computer, log in at app.mealime.com, select the whole Favourites page and copy it; we pick out the names. On a phone, type the names or take screenshots.
  3. Paste them above. Mealfolder matches each name against the full Mealime catalog and saves the exact recipe. Screenshots go through the photo import instead.
Already installed the Android app? Open Add recipe → Mealime rescue and paste there. It is the same flow. Mealfolder on Google Play.

What you get after the rescue

A recipe box that also takes recipes from any website (share the page to Mealfolder), a photo of a cookbook page, Paprika exports and plain text. A weekly planner. A grocery list sorted by aisle, built from the week you planned. Full export at any time, so this never happens to you again.

What Mealime said

From mealime.com/closing, read 7 September 2026: "Mealime will be discontinued as of October 21, 2026" and "All personal data will be deleted when the Mealime application is shut down." Pro features are free until then. Users are directed to the Meals Hub inside Albertsons, Safeway, Vons and related store apps.
