Moving from Mealime?
Mealime closed on October 21, 2026 and deleted user data. Ownplate is built for the same weeknight job: quick dinners, a grocery list by aisle, and a cook mode.
Paste in the recipes you remember, or import them from most recipe websites with a link (Pro). Your recipes then stay on your device, and you can export them any time.
Ownplate is not affiliated with Mealime or Albertsons.

Questions
Good to know
Do I need an account?
No. Open the app and start planning. There is nothing to sign up for.
Where is my data?
Only in your browser on this device. Back it up with one tap in Settings. To move to another device, open the backup file there.
What if benjiapps disappears?
The app keeps working offline from your home screen. Your key is checked on your device, not on our server. Your backup file is plain JSON, so any program can read it.
How do I install it?
- iPhone and iPad: open the app in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
- Android and Chromebook (Chrome): tap Install app in the menu.
- Windows and Mac (Chrome or Edge): click the install icon in the address bar.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 30 days, no questions asked. Just reply to your receipt email. The details are in the Ownplate terms.
Can I share the grocery list?
Yes. The share or copy button sends the list to any messaging app, so the whole family can see it.
Is there nutrition info?
Not yet.
I lost my key. What now?
Go to Settings, then Unlock, then “Lost your key?”. We email it to you again.
