What it does
RecipeSage combines recipe storage, meal planning and shopping lists across web, desktop and mobile apps. It imports several recipe formats, supports shared planning and offers a free hosted service or self-hosting.
Try collecting one web recipe and one scanned family recipe, then check the imported text and organize them with labels. RecipeSage supports links, photos, PDFs and documents, making it useful when a collection is spread across several formats. Cooking mode places ingredients and steps together and supports serving adjustments.
Meal calendars can repeat entries, while grocery lists combine similar items and group them by aisle. Offline search and device synchronization support kitchen and store use.
Data export is a meaningful distinction: recipes can leave as PDF, structured data or plain text. The project describes its hosted service as free without ads or a paywall, and technical users can host their own instance.
