MealWise questions, answered.

The essentials about recipe generation, storage, pricing and safety.

What is MealWise?

MealWise is an iPhone recipe app that turns one natural-language description of a meal into a practical recipe with ingredients, portions, cooking steps and estimated costs.

How does MealWise generate a recipe?

You type or speak what you want to cook, including any budget, servings, ingredients, dietary preferences, exclusions, time or equipment. MealWise interprets those constraints and returns one structured recipe. Learn more

Can MealWise use ingredients I already have?

Yes. Name the ingredients you want to use and any ingredients you want to exclude. MealWise can combine those details with your serving, budget and time constraints. Learn more

Where are MealWise recipes stored?

Accepted recipes are saved locally on the iPhone by default. Optional cross-device cloud sync is a separate Pro feature when enabled by the user. Learn more

Can I change a generated recipe?

MealWise Pro can refine an existing recipe with a requested change or regenerate it as a meaningfully different alternative while keeping the original constraints. Learn more

Is MealWise free?

MealWise has a free plan with a monthly recipe-generation allowance. Optional Basic and Pro subscriptions add more capacity and paid features. Apple shows the current local price and billing terms before purchase. Learn more

Does MealWise show cost per serving?

MealWise can provide estimated ingredient and per-person costs so you can judge a recipe before shopping. Prices are estimates; check current labels and shelf prices. Learn more

Do I need an account to use MealWise?

The local recipe experience does not require an account. An account is only relevant when you choose optional Pro cloud sync. Learn more

What languages does MealWise support?

MealWise supports English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Japanese and Portuguese.

Are MealWise prices, allergens and cooking instructions guaranteed?

No. Ingredient prices are estimates, and AI-generated recipes can be incomplete or wrong. Always verify allergens, dietary suitability, food safety, cooking temperatures and current product labels yourself.
