Mela – Recipe Manager
Silvio Rizzi
About
Mela is a simple, elegant and modern recipe manager that syncs with iCloud.
SYNCHRONIZATION
Sync your recipes to iCloud, either privately (default) or by sharing your recipe library with other iCloud users.
(Please note: Shared Recipe Library requires macOS 12)
IN-APP BROWSER WITH REAL-TIME PREVIEW
Quickly save a recipe while browsing: If Mela detects a recipe on the page you are currently viewing, it will be displayed in Mela's own recipe browser* on the same screen. Want to add or view a non-Mela recipe? No problem, just use the Mela extension to share.
LINKS
Subscribe to your favorite recipe blogs to see all the recipes in Mela's native recipe viewer.
COOKING MODE
Cook mode makes it easy to follow all the steps while cooking, appearing in larger font so everything remains readable even when you're not directly in front of the device. You can add multiple recipes to the cooking mode, making it easy to switch between them.
TIMERS
To set a timer, you don't need to switch to another application. In cooking mode, Mela makes it easy to create and manage timers.
SCANNER
Scan a recipe from a book: With OCR, you can simply add it to your personal collection and view it in Mela's built-in recipe viewer like any other recipe.
CALENDAR
To plan your meals, use the calendar built into Mela. It is controlled by the Calendar.app application, which also has the advantage that you can always access it on all your devices.
ORGANIZATION
Recipes can be divided into categories and marked as “Favorite” or “Want to cook.”
PRINT
Of course, Mela supports printing if you want to have the recipe on paper or save it as a PDF.
