For Mealie self-hosters

Mealie, natively in your pocket.

Sizzzle talks to the Mealie API directly. No re-import, no second copy of your data, no browser tab pretending to be an app.

What Sizzzle does with your server

The client is generated from the Mealie OpenAPI schema, so the coverage is broad rather than a hand-picked subset.

Recipes

  • Create, edit, delete and duplicate
  • Import from URL through Mealie’s scraper
  • Images, assets and .zip import
  • Ratings, favourites and last made
  • Ingredient parsing with nlp, brute or OpenAI

Planning

  • Household meal plan, seven meal types
  • Meal plan rules with AND / OR filters
  • Timeline events with photo and note
  • Random recipe and copy previous day

Shopping

  • Multiple lists with label grouping
  • Send recipe ingredients scaled to servings
  • Swipe to check off, auto remove completed
  • Linked recipes shown per list

Organising

  • Cookbooks with query filters and reordering
  • Tags, categories and tools
  • Foods, units and labels
  • Merge duplicate foods and units

Connects the way your setup expects

01

API token

Generate one under User Settings, API Tokens. Stored in the iOS Keychain, never in plain preferences.

02

Username and password

Standard Mealie login, with the JWT handled and refreshed for you.

03

Custom headers

Add arbitrary HTTP headers for Authelia, Authentik or any reverse proxy that fronts your instance.

Before a server URL is saved, Sizzzle checks that it is reachable and tells you what is wrong when it is not. Plain HTTP is blocked unless the server lives on the same device.

More than one server, at the same time

Each Mealie instance becomes its own space. The family server and the test instance sit side by side and switch in a tap, which the web UI cannot do. A local space can sit right next to them, and a single action copies a recipe from one into the other.

  • Run production and staging without logging out
  • Copy a recipe from the server into a local space to take it offline
  • Keep a private space that never touches the server

Spaces

  • Home server mealie.home.lan
  • Test instance staging.example.dev
  • Cabin On this device only

Two things to know

Offline is read only on a Mealie space

Recipes and images you have opened stay readable with no connection. Creating and editing needs the server, because the server is the source of truth. Local spaces read and write fully offline.

Sizzzle follows Mealie

The SDK is generated from the Mealie OpenAPI schema and tracked against recent 3.x releases. If your instance is older, some screens may show fewer options.

Point it at your server and cook.

Install, paste the URL, paste a token. Everything already on your server is there.
