Mealime Is Shutting Down. Bring Your Recipes With You.

Mealime shuts down on October 21, 2026. After that, the app stops working and Albertsons, which owns Mealime, deletes all personal data, including saved recipes, meal plans, and grocery lists.

Mealime doesn't have a built-in exporter, but you can import your Mealime recipes into Eat This Much with our recipe importer. It reads each recipe's link, brings in the ingredients and directions, and calculates the nutrition.

Install the Eat This Much app, open a recipe in Mealime, tap ••• and then Share, and choose Import recipe with Eat This Much. We bring in the photo, ingredients, and directions and calculate the nutrition. Check the details, then tap Save. On a computer, use the Recipe Clipper on mealime.com instead.

Mealime hasn't said what will happen to its recipe pages. Its recipes are moving to Meals Hub, though, so you can find a recipe there in the Albertsons or Safeway app, tap Share, and choose Eat This Much. Your saved recipes list and any recipes you created yourself are deleted on October 21, so import those first.

Yes. Share them to Eat This Much the same way as any other Mealime recipe, before October 21. Your own recipes are deleted with your account and won't be in Meals Hub. If you first imported one from another website, you can also import it from that website.

Meals Hub is the meal planning section inside Albertsons grocery apps, such as Safeway, Vons, and Jewel-Osco. Mealime's recipes are moving there, but your saved recipes, meal plans, and settings aren't. You can share recipes from Meals Hub to Eat This Much, but you don't have to use it. Any meal planner, including Eat This Much, can take Mealime's place.

Yes. Importing recipes, generating daily meal plans, and tracking what you eat are free. Planning a whole week at a time and automatic grocery lists need Premium. See our free and Premium features for the full comparison.

Yes. With Premium, your weekly meal plan becomes a grocery list automatically. Check items off at any store, share the list with your household, or order delivery through Walmart, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods, or Instacart, which covers stores like Costco, Aldi, Target, and Albertsons.

Yes. Set your Calorie, protein, carb, and fat targets and every plan is built to fit them. If you need a starting point, our Calorie calculator can estimate one.

It depends on what you used Mealime for. If you want automatic weekly plans, grocery lists, and nutrition targets in one app that works with any store, Eat This Much is a good fit. For a side-by-side look at eight options, see our guide to the best Mealime alternatives.
