Mealime has closed. How to find your recipes again

Mealime shut down on October 21, 2026. It said its recipes would move to Meals Hub and that personal data would be deleted, with no export mentioned. Five things you can still do.

  1. 1. Look up your favourites on Meals Hub

    Mealime said its recipes would stay available on Meals Hub. Search there by recipe name; the names you remember are what you need.

  2. 2. Gather anything you kept outside the app

    Mealime said personal data, such as saved plans, lists and notes, would be deleted when the app closed, and its notice did not mention an export. Check your photos, phone notes and messages for screenshots or recipes you shared.

  3. 3. If you sent a data request, watch for the reply

    Mealime said the privacy rights in its Privacy Policy could be used until the data was deleted. If you made a request before it closed, that is the route it described.

  4. 4. Set up Meals Hub if you want the same recipes

    Meals Hub is free inside the Albertsons Companies grocery apps and websites. Mealime said some preferences and settings would have to be set up again there.

  5. 5. Check your Pro subscription

    Mealime said Pro subscribers would not be charged again. If you see a new charge, check your subscriptions in the App Store or Google Play.

Then pick what comes next

If the recipes are what you will miss, Meals Hub is free. If you want the week to fit a grocery budget, MealBudget plans dinners and one shopping list around the amount you set, and you can add your own recipes to it by link, screenshot or PDF. The options side by side are in the best Mealime alternatives, and the case for us is on our Mealime alternative page.
