Mela is my family’s preferred recipe manager. Using the share sheet, you can send recipes from the web directly to the app, which strips out all the unnecessary clutter, leaving only the ingredients, quantities, and step-by-step instructions. The app is intuitive, beautifully designed, and allows you to share your recipe database with family members.
It also integrates with your calendar and Reminders apps for grocery shopping management and meal planning purposes.
It’s one of the few “nerd apps” my wife loves to use. (Most of the apps I’ve tried to introduce to my family over the years have been, at best, tolerated.)
The latest update apparently adds the ability to extract recipes not only from websites but also from the descriptions in videos like those on YouTube and TikTok. I’m curious to see how reliably that feature works.
