Leaving Mealime? Bring your meal planning to EasyPantry.
A separate app for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, with a Meal Plan, a recipe box you can save into from any app, and a Need to Buy list.
Free for up to 25 ingredients and 2 meal preps, with unlimited recipes. No account to make. How to switch
Mealime said its app would be discontinued as of October 21, 2026.
Mealime said all personal data would be deleted when the app shut down.
Mealime said its recipes would stay available in Meals Hub, inside Albertsons Companies' grocery apps and websites.
EasyPantry is a separate, independent app. It isn’t part of Mealime, Meals Hub or Albertsons, and isn’t connected to them.
What you get
Everything a meal planner needs, starting from your kitchen.
EasyPantry knows what’s in your pantry, fridge and freezer, so your recipes and your plan are built around food you actually have. Everything here is in the free app unless it’s marked Pro.
Meal Plan
Plan each day by mealtime: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Put your meal preps on the days you’ll eat them and check them off as you go. Quick Add covers takeout, a snack or anything else.
A recipe box that knows your kitchen
Unlimited recipes. Each one shows what you have and what you still need, and Ready to Make shows the ones you can cook right now. Group them into collections, mark favorites, and keep calories and macros with each one.
Save a recipe from anywhere
Tap Share on a recipe in Safari, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook or any other app and choose EasyPantry. It’s saved with the source it came from. With Pro, its ingredients are read for you and matched to your kitchen.
Need to Buy
It collects everything in your kitchen that’s low or out, and stays up to date for you. Mark an ingredient low or out and it’s on Need to Buy. When you restock, mark it in stock and it comes off.
Meal prep that keeps count
Cook once and save the batch with how many meals it made, where it’s stored and when it expires. Add Meal Prep on any recipe fills in the details, and each meal you eat comes off the count.
Craft Recipe from your kitchen Pro
Choose the ingredients you want to use and get recipe ideas built around them. Your saved dietary preferences are taken into account, and the ones you keep join the rest of your recipes.
Calories and macros
Each Meal Plan day adds up its calories, protein, carbs and fat from the nutrition you’ve entered. With Pro, Set Macros in Craft Recipe aims new recipes at Balanced, High Protein, Low Carb or your own split, with a calorie limit per serving if you want one.
Apple Health Pro
Turn on Sync Meals to Apple Health and each meal you check off is saved to Health with its calories, protein, carbs and fat. EasyPantry only writes to Health. It never reads anything from it.
Cook mode
Tap Start Cooking and a recipe becomes one step at a time, in type big enough to read from across the counter, with the ingredient checklist a tap away.
One thing works differently
EasyPantry’s Meal Plan is built from the meals you’ve prepped, plus Quick Adds. You don’t plan a recipe you haven’t cooked yet, and the plan doesn’t make a shopping list of its own. Instead, a recipe shows what you still need, and anything in your kitchen that’s low or out is already on Need to Buy.
How to switch
Up and running in an evening.
There’s nothing to sign up for. EasyPantry can’t bring over a Mealime account, plan or grocery list, so you save the recipes you want to keep, one at a time.
Get EasyPantry
Download it from the App Store and open it. No account, no login.
Save your favorite recipes
Open a recipe in Safari or the app where you found it, tap Share and choose EasyPantry. Or copy its link and open EasyPantry’s Recipes tab, which offers to import it. You can also type a recipe in yourself.
Add what’s in your kitchen
Each ingredient takes a couple of taps. With Pro, scan a receipt or a photo of your groceries and add everything at once.
Plan your week

Questions
Is EasyPantry part of Mealime?
No. EasyPantry is an independent app. It isn’t part of Mealime, Meals Hub or Albertsons, and has no connection to them.
Can I import my Mealime account or meal plans?
No. EasyPantry has no way to bring over a Mealime account, meal plan or grocery list. You save the recipes you want to keep one at a time, from the share sheet, by copying a link, or by typing them in.
Do I need an account?
No. There’s no sign-up and no login. Your kitchen, recipes and Meal Plan live on your device, and with Pro you can turn on iCloud sync to keep them on all your devices through your own iCloud account.
Does the Meal Plan make a shopping list?
No, the plan doesn’t make a list of its own. Need to Buy collects every ingredient in your kitchen that’s low or out, and when you open a recipe it shows what you have and what you still need.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The yearly Pro plan, $39.99 a year, starts with a one-week free trial, and if you cancel before it ends you aren’t charged. The monthly plan, $5.99 a month, has no trial.
What happens if I stop paying for Pro?
Nothing is deleted, and you keep using everything you added. You’re back on the free limits, and the AI features, iCloud sync, Apple Health sync and Home Screen widgets stop until you resubscribe.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo.
