Frequently asked questions

MealLoop is a family meal planner: keep your recipes in one box, plan the week (or month) of dinners, and everyone in the household shops from one always-in-sync grocery list.

Paste a link to any public recipe page and MealLoop imports it, paste recipe text by hand, type it in yourself, or upload a JSON backup from another app. Everything you add stays exportable.

Only the person who runs the plan needs one. Everyone else can use your household share link to see the week, check items off the grocery list, and vote 👍/👎 on planned meals — no signup, no app install.

Yes. MealLoop is a fast website that adapts to any screen, so there is nothing to install and it is always up to date at the store.

When you add planned meals to the list, ingredients merge automatically by aisle. Anyone viewing the list — on the app or the share link — sees checks appear within seconds.

It drafts a week of dinners from your own recipe box and recent history. Nothing is saved until you press Apply, and pantry items you already have are skipped on the list.

Yes — scale servings up or down on any recipe, and switch the whole household between metric and imperial display units.

No. You can export every recipe as standard schema.org JSON at any time, and delete your account (and all data) yourself from settings.

During the open beta everything is free for everyone — no card required. Planned prices are on the pricing page and beta users will be notified well before billing starts.
