About this app

Hey Maëlle! is the AI-powered recipe app designed for people with food allergies. Track 16 allergens, scan any cookbook page to digitize recipes, and generate allergen-safe meals from ingredients already in your kitchen.

32 million Americans have food allergies. If you're one of them — or you're a parent managing your child's allergies — you know that every recipe is a gamble. Hey Maëlle! eliminates that gamble.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Set your allergen profile: Select from 16 allergens (Big 9 plus gluten, celery, mustard, lupin, molluscs, sulphites, and corn) and 20+ dietary preferences. One-time setup, 30 seconds.

2. Add your ingredients: Tell Chef Maëlle what's in your fridge or pantry. Type them, scan them, or photograph them.

3. Get allergen-safe recipes: AI-generated recipes created in seconds, personalized to your allergies, using ingredients you already have.

ALLERGEN SAFETY — 16 ALLERGENS TRACKED

The core of Hey Maëlle! is allergen protection. Every recipe passes through server-side multi-layer safety checks before you see it. Hidden allergens like casein, whey, and modified food starch are detected automatically. Whether you need gluten free recipes, nut free cooking, dairy free meals, or manage celiac disease, peanut allergies, tree nut allergies, soy allergies, egg allergies, fish allergies, shellfish allergies, or sesame allergies — Hey Maëlle! has you covered.

COOKBOOK SCANNER — DIGITIZE ANY RECIPE

This is the feature no other recipe app has. Point your camera at any cookbook page, handwritten recipe card, or imported PDF and Chef Maëlle digitizes it in seconds with:

- Automatic allergen detection and safety warnings
- Complete nutritional information calculated automatically
- Step-by-step guided cooking instructions
- Permanent storage in your recipe collection

Digitize your grandmother's recipe cards. Scan your favorite cookbooks. Every imported recipe gets the same allergen safety checking as AI-generated recipes.
