About this app

Self Served is a fast, native Android recipe app and meal planner for Mealie, the self-hosted recipe manager. Point it at your own server and your recipes, shopping lists and meal plans are on your phone — in the kitchen, in the shop, and on the train with no signal.

Built for cooking • Cook Mode: one step per page, big readable text, the screen stays awake • Timers detected from the step itself — "simmer for 20 minutes" becomes a tappable timer that keeps running when you leave the app • Servings stepper that scales ingredients and shows kitchen-friendly fractions, not 0.333 • Ingredients you can tick off as you go

Built for real networks • Works offline: keep the whole library on your phone, synced in the background • Optional home-network address tried first, with your public address as the fallback • Extra headers for Cloudflare Access, Authelia and similar gateways • Self-signed certificates via your phone's own trusted certificates

Everything else • Search, filters, tags, categories, favourites • Shopping lists grouped by aisle, check-off that queues up offline and replays in order • Meal plan by the week • Material You colours, light and dark, tablet and foldable layouts, TalkBack throughout

Everything is included, free: full offline library sync, meal plan editing, shopping list editing and add-recipe-to-list, the recipe editor with import from a link and a share-sheet target, home-screen widgets, and multiple servers.
