What's New in WeeknightBite

2.6.0

October 26, 2026

• Photo, scan and PDF import now keeps every ingredient and every step, so a whole cookbook page comes in. On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence, the page is read right on your phone. Smart import reads the full text too. • Plan later: from a recipe in your Library, or with a long press, save it for your next plan. Recipes waiting for it are marked on their cards. • Edit a recipe's steps: add a step or delete one. Ingredients measured by volume can now be weighed in grams or ounces. • Grocery list: typing "milk" finds whole milk, and the aisle menu has Add new. • Better when your connection drops: plans, grocery lists and onboarding wait for the network instead of saving half a plan, and recipes waiting to load try again once you are back online. • Tag pills show their names, and long ingredient names wrap under their amounts. • Bug fixes and improvements.

Not as smart as Mealime

Does a decent job bringing in Mealime recipes. The ai photos on the app are off putting. Does a god awful job importing from a photo. Does well with importing from websites. The grocery list isn’t smart. I typed milk and it assumed it was canned.

Response from developer

Being compared with a legend like Mealime is a real compliment. They set the bar for all of us, and we’re glad your imported Mealime recipes came across well. You’re right about the milk, and thank you for saying it. A plain “milk” was matched to coconut and evaporated milk, so it landed in Canned Goods. we’ve found the cause, and the fix is on its way in our next update. the app's milk ingredient is called "Whole Milk" and that wasn't matching the first thing. On the photos, yes, some are AI generated, and we’re open about it (see our website). we’re a small team, and a photo studio for every dish would have taken the budget we put into the recipes instead. every recipe is cooked and tested by a person before it goes in the app. AI lets us show you what each dish should look like on a tuesday night, and we’re already have plans to shoot photos for all of our recipes, this will take us some time. If a recipe photo looks badly, we’d love to see know which so we could prioritize it first: hello@weeknightbiteapp.com. every example helps us fix the right thing. we read all messages we receive. Anton, WeeknightBite

Replacement Mealime!

So far a great app! It’s very similar to Mealime and has the same backbone of creating recipes for the week and reducing waste. So happy it was built!

Fantastic Mealime Replacement

I downloaded this app because Mealime is shutting down and so far it has been fantastic. I really like a lot of the features that it has that others do not especially how easy it is to add ingredients to your shopping list and have them auto populate for future meal planning.

Better than Mealime

Im cheering these folks on! I hope their team grows and they get to the point of hiring a chef. The app’s functionality is great!
It has everything you want:
- recipes that are actually meals (not just one side or one main)
- family sharing (linked accounts) and accounting for individual portion sizes
- metric/imperial conversions
- check-off grocery list that you can add to AND organize to match how your grocery store is actually laid out (no scrolling to find the section youre walking through)
- nutrition info and filtering (and setup and meal restriction preferences)
- meal planning by day if you want to
- favoriting AND ratings for meals
- super duper easy importing of external recipes (seriously, surprisingly easy)
- cooking mode with hands free and integrated timers
- save whats in your pantry (if you want to)
- SUPER RESPONSIVE TEAM. Im not kidding, they actually emailed me back with a fix to my issue.

Im rooting for these developers and this app! This is exactly what I was looking for when Mealime closed. Thank you and keep going!
