I like to cook, and for that I need a place where I can keep all my recipes. I’m currently using the app My Recipe Box. But it’s closed source and full of ads. While the pro version is pretty cheap, I wanted to see if there were any open source apps for this.

Selfhosted apps will be nice. I’m fine with web access and no native app as well. If not selfhosted, I can also manage with open source apps with automatic backup of some sort.

The only feature that I really need is recipe scraping. Thanks for all your suggestions.

I have been pretty happy with tandoor recipes. It and mealie are pretty similar. It doesn’t have a dedicated mobile app, but it is a progressive web app, and ihas worked well on my phone.

I chose tandoor because it did something that mealie didn’t at the time I installed. But I don’t recall what that was.

The recipe import feature is quite nice - it worked flawlessly for most of the websites i tried

Admittedly, never tried Mealie but the PWA works excellently, the shopping list/planning are nice and I’ve enjoyed it so far.

I also started with mealie and moved to tandoor for the ability to adjust the recipe when changing the portion size. Was that the feature you were thinking of?

I have been using mealie and it has been very good.

Second the Mealie suggestion, very solid.

I use tandoor myself, but mealie is also a solid choice
