What is Mealie?
Mealie is a self hosted recipe manager and meal planner with a RestAPI backend and a reactive frontend application built in Vue for a pleasant user experience for the whole family. Easily add recipes into your database by providing the url and mealie will automatically import the relavent data or add a family recipe with the UI editor.
Mealie also provides a secure API for interactions from 3rd party applications. Why does my recipe manager need an API? An API allows integration into applications like Home Assistant that can act as notification engines to provide custom notifications based of Meal Plan data to remind you to defrost the chicken, marinade the steak, or start the CrockPot. See the section on Meal Plan hooks for more information. Additionally, you can access any available API from the backend server. To explore the API spin up your server and navigate to http://yourserver.com/docs for interactive API documentation.

Heya ! I love it. Easy to setup, easy to use but need a little learning curve and planning to be optimal. i can only recommend it !
My favourite recipe management app that is constantly evolving. It has many features like recipe import, recipe scaling, etc.
Its a good app but the major feature is missing. (Recipe Scaling.) Will stay with paprika till that time.
My favorite recipe management app. 100% self hosted (Docker) with a great API. The dev team is also amazing and constantly improving it.
