MealSage Try early access
Mealime closes on October 21, 2026

Moving from Mealime? Keep your recipes, keep planning.

Mealime's closing notice says personal data will be deleted when the app shuts down, and it doesn't mention a way to export it. So save the recipes you love this week. Then, if you'd like a new planner, MealSage is free to try in your browser.

Save your recipes before the 21st

  1. Make a list of your favourites

    Go through your saved and most-cooked recipes in Mealime and write down their names. Even if you do nothing else, you'll know what to look for.

  2. Keep the ingredients and steps

    For each recipe you'd miss, pick whichever is easiest:

    • Screenshots: one of the ingredients and one of the steps. Keep them together in an album called "Recipes".
    • Copy and paste: if the recipe has a page on mealime.com, open it in your browser, select all the text, copy it, and paste it into MealSage's Add a recipe. It fills in the ingredients and steps for you, and it works in early access today.
    • A note: copy the ingredients and steps into your notes app.

  3. Check the amounts once

    In MealSage, each ingredient is matched as you paste, with its calories and cost. Fix anything that looks off before you save, and the recipe plans like any other.

Mealime says its recipes will carry on in Meals Hub, inside Albertsons Companies' store apps. Your own saved lists and plans won't move there, so keep a copy either way.

What will feel familiar, and what's new

Familiar

  • A week of dinners (and breakfasts, lunches and snacks if you want them) in a couple of taps
  • One grocery list, grouped by aisle
  • Swap any dish you don't fancy
  • Allergies and diets: vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, halal-friendly and more
  • Step-by-step cook mode with timers

New

  • A grocery bill for the week and a cost per portion, with your own prices
  • Uses what's in your fridge and freezer first, and tracks leftovers by portion
  • Calorie and protein targets for each person, with portions split to match
  • Shared ingredients across different dishes, so the half-bunch of herbs gets used
  • Your own versions of recipes, like oat milk instead of milk, that plans use instead
  • Log what you ate, drinks and workouts, and track your weight if you want to

Early access, honestly

MealSage is new and still in early access. It runs in your browser and saves to that device, so use the same browser each time and download a copy from Settings now and then. Accounts, syncing and phone apps come with the full app. Over 1,400 recipes, every one real and credited to its source. Found something broken? "Report a problem" is at the bottom of every page.

Hear when the full app opens

Join during early access and your first month of MealSage Plus is free when it launches.

Questions

Is MealSage connected to Mealime?

No. MealSage is an independent app, and it doesn't have Mealime's recipes. Mealime is a trademark of its owner.

Is it free?

Yes, during early access everything is free. The full app will have a free plan for weekly planning, the grocery list, pantry and logging, and a paid plan for extras like reading recipes from photos and syncing.

Can I bring recipes in from my screenshots?

Not yet in early access. Reading recipes from photos is coming with the full app. Until then, copy and paste works, or type the ingredients in; they're matched as you type.

Does it work in Canada and the UK?

Yes. MealSage is made for Canada, the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, in metric or imperial, with local prices to start from.
