What is happening to Mealime
- Mealime shuts down on October 21, 2026. Its owner, Albertsons, is moving meal planning into its own grocery apps.
- Mealime has no export. Everything saved in the app is deleted when it closes.
- Until then Mealime works as usual, so now is the time to take your recipes with you.
How to move your recipes to Krydda
- Install Krydda on iPhone or Android. It is free, and you do not need an account to import.
- Go to Settings, choose Import from another app, then Mealime.
- Tap Open Mealime and sign in with your Mealime account. Open your favorites.
- Tap Import recipes. Krydda finds the recipes on the page and shows how many there are.
- Tap Import. Recipes already in Krydda are skipped, so you can run the import again without duplicates.
Without signing in: paste names or links
You can also paste recipe names or links, one per line, and tap Find recipes. Links shared from the Mealime app work too.
