Mela
Recipe Manager
Mela is a recipe manager for you to collect dishes from websites and cookbooks, plan meals, and follow instructions while cooking.
by Silvio Rizzi
What you get
Keep your recipes, meal plans, and cooking instructions in one place.
You can turn recipes scattered across websites and cookbooks into a collection you can browse and organize. Save recipes from supported websites, subscribe to recipe blogs, or scan printed recipes using text recognition. Categories, favorites, and a “Want to Cook” marker help you separate regular dishes from ideas you haven't tried yet.
When you're cooking, you get larger, more readable instructions, timers, and the option to switch between several recipes. You can schedule meals in a built-in calendar backed by Calendar.app and keep your grocery list in Reminders, so both remain accessible on your devices without Mela installed.
Your recipe collection can sync privately through iCloud, or you can share a library with other iCloud users. You can also print recipes or save them as PDFs. Downloading is free, but you need a one-time purchase to unlock all features.
