rMeal

Why free?

A hobby project, made with love.

rMeal costs nothing because it's a hobby project. I make it in my spare time, because I cook with it every day myself and enjoy working on it. There's no company behind it and no business model: no subscription, no ads and nothing that suddenly turns paid later. Ideas, or something that could be better? I'd love to hear them.

Questions

Is rMeal really free?

Yes. rMeal is a hobby project: I make it because I use it every day myself and enjoy working on it. There's no company behind it and no business model. So no subscription, no in-app purchases, no limit on recipes and no ads.

Do I need an account?

No. rMeal uses your own Apple Account and iCloud to keep your recipes on your devices. There's no separate rMeal account.

Can I bring my recipes from another app?

Yes. rMeal reads exports from popular recipe apps, and you can export everything again in an open format.

Does rMeal work offline?

Yes. Everything is on your device. Only importing a link and syncing need the internet.
