Step 1 · Save
Paste a link, get the recipe
Drop in a link from most recipe sites, Instagram or TikTok, snap a cookbook page, or paste text. Mealhive pulls out the ingredients, the steps and the photo, cleaned up and saved to your hive.
Family meal planning
Turn your scattered recipes into a week of dinners.
Paste a link from most recipe sites, Instagram or TikTok, or snap a cookbook page. Plan the week in a minute, and your grocery list writes itself, sorted by aisle and shared with everyone at home.
Sign upHow it works
Save the recipes you love. Plan the week. Shop one list. Cook.
Step 2 · Plan
Cook once, eat twice
Say how many dinners you need and how often you want to cook. Plan my week fills the nights. On the others you eat the pot again, or turn it into a new dish: Monday’s roast chicken becomes Tuesday’s fried rice.
Step 3 · Shop
A list that writes itself
Every planned dinner lands on one list, merged and sorted by aisle. Tick things off in the shop. The staples you always have, like salt and oil, stay off it until you need them.
Step 4 · Cook
One step at a time
Cook mode shows one step at a time in big type. Timers start with one tap and keep counting while you move on, and the screen stays awake.
A few more things it does
-
What can I make?
Snap your fridge and get dinner ideas from what is already there: your own recipes first, then our library, then one new idea.
-
Had something tasty?
Snap a dish you loved, add a line about it, and get a recipe to cook it at home.
-
From TikTok and Instagram
Paste a video link and the recipe comes from its caption. On Android you can share a video straight into Mealhive.
-
Cooking for more tonight?
Change the number of plates, and the recipe amounts and the grocery list follow.
Why we're different
Three things that work better together.
AI capture from a link
Paste a recipe link. We extract the recipe, the photo, the steps and the ingredients, cleaned up and ready to plan.
Planned leftovers, on purpose
Plan my week pairs a big cook with the night that uses it, and the list buys for that. Fewer nights at the stove, less food left in the fridge.
Your household, in real time
Add something at home and it is on the list in the shop moments later, with your name on it. Tick it off and everyone sees it. Same plan, same list.

Common questions
Is Mealhive free?
Yes. Free covers saving recipes, planning the week, the shared grocery list, cook mode and 3 AI recipe captures a month. Plus is €3.99 a month or €29 a year for unlimited capture, and one plan covers the whole household.
Where can it save recipes from?
Most recipe sites and blogs, Instagram and TikTok (from the caption), a photo of a cookbook page or a recipe card, and pasted text. If a site blocks apps, a screenshot works.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Mealhive is a web app you add to your home screen. It works on iPhone, Android and a computer, with nothing to download from an app store.
Can my whole household use it?
Yes. Invite everyone into your household. The week plan and the grocery list update for all of you in real time, and one Plus plan covers everyone.
Which languages does it speak?
The app, the 50-recipe library and grocery names come in English and Estonian, and a captured recipe is saved in your language, whatever language the source is in.
Mealhive turns the only decision you don't want to make at 6pm into the one you already made on Sunday.
