How it works

However a recipe starts,
MealSmith gives it a home.

Saving a TikTok recipe in MealSmith

The recipes you find

Save from websites, TikTok, Instagram or YouTube. Paste a link and MealSmith turns it into a clean, cookable recipe, without the clutter. Photograph a cookbook page, magazine clipping, or handwritten recipe card and MealSmith extracts the recipe automatically.

Creating a recipe with AI

The recipes you create

Tell MealSmith what you want to cook, what ingredients you have, or a dish you remember and want to recreate. It works with you in conversation to shape a recipe as you go.

Photographing handwritten notes in MealSmith

The dishes you know by heart

Some of your best dishes are just rough notes, memory or habit. Describe one by voice, type what you remember, or photograph something handwritten. MealSmith does the rest.

Features

Made for people
who actually cook.

Make it yours

Make every recipe
your own

Every recipe in MealSmith is editable, including the ones you import. Swap an ingredient, adjust the method, add a note, or ask MealSmith to help adapt it. Change the number of servings and the ingredients adjust automatically.

Cook mode

Cook without distraction

MealSmith gives you a focused cooking view. Full screen, large type, one step at a time. Tap anywhere to advance, and your screen stays on. Swipe to ingredients whenever you need them. Then, when you’re done, add a photo to remember how it turned out.

Step-by-step cook mode

Your library

Every recipe, in
one clean place

Whatever form a recipe arrives in, MealSmith gives it the same clear, consistent format. Easy to read, easy to edit, ready to cook from. It adapts to your region too: coriander or cilantro, cups or grams, it adjusts automatically.

A searchable recipe library

Share & export

Share, export, or
print beautifully

Send a recipe to a friend, export it as a formatted PDF, or print it out. Your recipes go wherever you need them.

Restraint

Simple by design

No ads. No social feed. No algorithm deciding what you should cook. Your recipes sync privately with iCloud and stay backed up. Just a well-designed place for the recipes that matter to you.

A calm, clean recipe view

In their own words

The app cooks
actually stick with.

“Finally, an app that gets it”

I’ve tried every recipe app out there. MealSmith is the first one that actually feels like it was made for someone who loves cooking, not just collecting recipes.

“My nan’s recipes are finally safe”

I used MealSmith to save three recipes I learned from my grandmother that I was terrified of losing. The voice input made it so easy. I cried a little, honestly.

“Worth every penny and then some”

The AI recipe creation is unlike anything I’ve seen in this category. I described a dish I had in Lisbon two years ago and MealSmith built me a proper recipe. Genuinely impressive.

Questions

Good to know.

Is it really free to start?
Yes. Up to ten recipes, every feature, no card, no sign-up. Download and start using it immediately.
What happens when I hit ten recipes?
You can still view and cook from your existing recipes. To add more, you’ll need MealSmith Unlimited.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. Saved recipes work offline. You need a connection to import new recipes or use the AI features.
Where is my data stored?
Your recipe library is stored privately in iCloud. MealSmith is designed so your recipes stay yours. See the Privacy Policy for full details on how imports, photos and AI features are handled.
Can I import recipes from TikTok and Instagram?
Yes. In TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, tap share and copy the link, then paste it into MealSmith. It works with links from almost any website too.
What if an import doesn’t work?
Occasionally an import won’t come through. Some websites block apps from reading their content, and some TikTok or Instagram videos simply don’t include the full recipe. When that happens, try the photo scan instead, or use Save My Own to capture it by voice or text.
Does MealSmith keep the original recipe link?
Yes. For web and social imports, MealSmith keeps the original link so you can go back to the source whenever you need it.
Is this iPhone only?
Yes, MealSmith is currently iPhone only. iCloud sync means your library is backed up and accessible if you switch devices.
What happens to my recipes if I cancel MealSmith Unlimited?
Your recipes stay in the app. All of them. Cancelling your subscription never deletes anything.
Can I export my recipes if I want to leave?
Yes. You can export single recipes as beautifully formatted PDFs, or export your full library in a standard format that other apps can import. Your recipes are yours.
Does MealSmith use my recipes to train AI models?
No. We never use your recipes to train AI models, and our AI provider does not use data sent through MealSmith for training. AI is used to structure and adapt recipes, nothing more.
Can I edit recipes I import?
Yes. Every recipe in MealSmith is editable, whether you wrote it, imported it, photographed it or created it with AI.
