Save recipes from anywhere
Import from any website with a tap, or enter your own and add a cover photo. Everything lives in one searchable place.
Browse a growing library
Discover new dishes from a curated, ever-expanding collection. Filter by category, tag, or your circle’s recipes.
Every recipe at a glance
Prep, cook and total time and servings sit at the top of a recipe, with its ingredients grouped under their own headings. Imports bring them in when the site lists them, or add your own.
Make it your own
Scale any recipe up or down, by servings when it lists them, and read it in US or metric. Add photos, swap ingredients, and tag the recipes you save.
Cook step by step
Cook mode shows one step at a time in big type, with its ingredients in your scaled amounts, and keeps your screen awake. When a step names a time, start a timer right from it.
Plan your week in minutes
Put recipes on the days of your week, and see your whole week at a glance. Meal planning has never felt this light.
Auto-generate your grocery list
Pro users get the AI Shopping Assistant — it reads your meal plan, combines all ingredients, removes duplicates, and sorts by store section.
Lists that keep up
Check things off as you shop, swipe an item to edit or delete it, and Uncheck All for the next trip. Changed your mind? Undo puts it back.
Cook together with Circles
Create a Circle with your partner, family, or roommates. Everyone can view plans, add to lists, and check off items in real time — no more “did you get the milk?” texts.

What is Menu Pal?
Menu Pal is your ultimate recipe manager and meal planning assistant. It helps you save recipes, plan meals, generate shopping lists, and share with family and friends - all in one convenient app.
How do I save recipes in Menu Pal?
You can easily save recipes by importing them directly from websites or manually entering your favorites. All recipes are organized and searchable.
Can I customize my saved recipes?
Yes! On recipes you save, set your own photo, swap ingredients, group them under headings, set servings and times, and pick categories and tags. On any recipe, even one shared with you through a Circle, scale it up or down and switch between US and metric.
How does meal planning work?
Menu Pal makes meal planning simple. You can create weekly meal plans by selecting recipes from your collection. The app helps you organize meals for each day of the week.
What are Circles in Menu Pal?
Circles are groups you create to share recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists with family members or friends. Everyone in a Circle can collaborate on meal planning and shopping.
How are shopping lists generated?
Menu Pal Pro users have access to the Shopping Assistant that automatically generates lists from your meal plans. The app combines ingredients, organizes them by category, and lets you check off items as you shop. Swipe an item to edit or delete it, with Undo if you change your mind.
Is Menu Pal available offline?
No, Menu Pal needs an internet connection. Your recipes, menus and lists live in your account, so they stay in sync with your Circle and are waiting when you sign in on a new phone.
Can multiple people use the same account?
No, each person must have their own account, then use our Circles feature to share and collaborate. This keeps everyone’s personal preferences and settings separate while still enabling sharing.
What makes Menu Pal different?
Menu Pal uniquely combines recipe management, meal planning, and shopping lists in one seamless experience. Our Circles feature makes it easy to coordinate cooking and shopping with family members.
