Mealime closes October 21, 2026: how to keep your recipes
Mealime posted on mealime.com/closing that the app will be discontinued as of October 21, 2026. The notice says paid subscriptions are winding down, Pro recipes and features are open to all Mealime users until then, and the Mealime recipes continue in Meals Hub, a free section inside Albertsons Companies grocery store apps (tap More, then Meals Hub).
Meals Hub keeps the Mealime recipes and its own planning and shopping tools. If you also want your own copy of the recipes you cook most, you can keep them in Tomato Potato before October 21.
Keep a copy of a recipe in Tomato Potato
- Open the recipe in Mealime.
- If you can select the ingredients and steps, copy them, open Tomato Potato, paste into the Paste bar on the Book tab, then tap Convert.
- If you cannot copy the text, take screenshots of the ingredients and the steps. In Tomato Potato, tap Photo, then Choose photos, and pick the screenshots for that one recipe.
- On Check the recipe, look over the title, ingredients and steps, fix anything that came in wrong, and tap Save to book.
The first time you use a photo, the app asks before anything is sent. Photos go to xAI to read the recipe, and our server keeps nothing. Pasted text does not need that step. Copies you make are for your own cooking; the recipes belong to their authors.
Then plan the week
Put saved recipes on days in Plan, or tap Fill these days. Shop these days builds one grocery list with shared ingredients added together and grouped by aisle. You can check items off in the store, share the list as text, or send it to a Kroger or King Soopers cart. See a worked three-dinner plan.
What it costs
Tomato Potato is free to download. Free includes three saved imports and one Kroger or King Soopers cart. The plan, the list and store searches stay free. A subscription removes both limits for $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year in the US, and the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Recipes stay on your phone.
