Collect recipes from websites and cookbooks, plan meals in Calendar and keep a grocery list in Reminders.
Why it’s here
A recipe saved in a browser and a shopping list in another app can be easy to lose track of. Mela connects the recipe collection to the practical work of planning and cooking a meal.
Use its browser or share extension to bring in a recipe, or scan a cookbook page. Cook mode enlarges the instructions and lets you check off ingredients as you go.
The meal plan lives in Calendar and the grocery list in Reminders. Those choices make it a useful fit for people already using Apple’s apps, with optional iCloud syncing for the recipe library.
What you can do
- Import web recipes or scan cookbook pages
- Follow ingredients and steps in cook mode
- Plan meals using a Calendar-backed schedule
- Add groceries to a Reminders list
