Paprika

With the free app option, Paprika is our top selection since it offers a lot of versatility and personalization. However, because there isn't a database of recipes or pre-made meal plans, you'll have to start from scratch. Thankfully, Paprika's recipe clipper makes saving recipes from the web a breeze. You may also manually enter in your own family recipes or favorite cookbooks.

Users can name their own categories while arranging their stored recipes. Instead of Beef or Chicken, titles like 30 Minutes or Less, Instant Pot, or Kids' Favorites can be used. If you want to use recipes as recommendations rather than gospel, you can alter them and add notes, but the original will remain linked in case you need it.

The app displays nutrition information from recipes that have it, but it lacks built-in software to compute nutrition information for recipes that do not. However, depending on how many servings you want to create, it may automatically scale ingredients up or down, as well as convert metric to imperial amounts.

Using the recipes you've collected, you may easily construct a weekly or monthly meal plan. You may download up to 50 recipes for free in the app version (you can upgrade for a fee to get more). It will generate a personalized grocery list based on your meal plan, combining goods as needed and allowing users to add anything extra they may require, such as paper towels.
