Home cooks who made the switch.

I used to have recipes saved in my Instagram bookmarks, my camera roll, random screenshots, and three different apps. Mealist finally gave me one place for everything. The Instagram import is magic.

The Chrome extension is genius. I'm browsing NYT Cooking, click one button, and boom, recipe is saved with all the ingredients and steps perfectly formatted. No more copy-pasting into notes apps.

As someone who meal preps every Sunday, the meal planning feature changed my life. I can see my whole week, auto-generate my grocery list, and actually stick to the plan. Worth every penny.

Questions

A few things people ask.

Yes — titles, ingredients, instructions, prep times, and photos all import. For Recipe Keeper we read the structured data embedded in each recipe file. For Paprika we parse the export format directly. You'll see a full preview before anything is saved to your account.

No. During a migration import your entire collection comes in regardless of size. You'll get 30 days of free Premium access to explore everything when you choose to subscribe.

Not at all. Mealist imports a copy of your data. Your Recipe Keeper or Paprika account stays exactly as it is. Try Mealist at your own pace and switch over fully when you're ready.

More importers are on the roadmap. In the meantime you can import recipes one at a time by pasting a URL — Mealist parses them automatically. Or reach out at hello@mealistapp.com and we'll see what we can do.

Your next great meal is waiting.

Bring everything over. It takes minutes.
