Mela for Mac

Mela is a simple, elegant and modern recipe manager that syncs with iCloud.

Sync

• Sync your recipes with iCloud, either privately (default) or by sharing a recipe library with other iCloud users.

In-app browser with live preview

• Quickly save a recipe while browsing: If Mela detects a recipe on the currently viewed page, it will be displayed in Mela's native recipe viewer*, on the same screen. Want to add or view a recipe from outside of Mela? No problem, just use Mela's sharing extension.

Feeds

• Subscribe to your favorite recipe blogs to view all the recipes in Mela's native recipe viewer*.

Cook mode

• The cook mode makes it easy to follow all steps while cooking, displayed using a larger font to make sure everything stays readable even when you're not right in front of your device. You can add multiple recipes to the cook mode, easily letting you switch between them.

Timers

• No need to switch to another app for setting up a timer. When in cooking mode, Mela let's you easily create and manage timers.

Scanner

• Scan a recipe from a book: With the help of text recognition, you can just add it to your personal collection and view it in Mela's native recipe viewer, as any other recipe.

Groceries

• Mela uses the Reminders.app to manage your grocery list. This has the advantage that you’re always able to access your grocery list on all your devices even if Mela is not installed on a specific device.

Calendar

• Do your meal planning by using Mela's built-in calendar. It's managed by Calendar.app which also has the advantage that you're always able to access it on all your devices. There's also a widget, showing you the next planned meal from your calendar.

Organizing

• Recipes can be organized in categories, marked as “Favorite” or as “Want to Cook”.

Printing

• Of course, Mela supports printing in case there’s a recipe you want to have on paper or save as PDF.

Note: Mela is free to download but will require a one-time purchase to unlock all features.
