Mela is a simple, elegant and modern recipe manager that syncs with iCloud.
IN-APP BROWSER
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*.
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.
ORGANIZING
Recipes can be organized in categories, marked as “Favorite” or as “Want to Cook”.
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.
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.
PRINTING
Of course, Mela supports printing in case there’s a recipe you want to have on paper or save as PDF.
SYNC
If enabled (default), Mela will sync these items with iCloud:
- Recipes
- Browser bookmarks
- Subscription list (feeds)
Not synced:
- Feed recipe entries
- Browser history
Groceries are always stored in Reminders.app
