About MealMimic: AI Recipe Scanner
Snap any dish. Get the recipe. Cook it tonight. MealMimic turns a photo of a restaurant dish — or anything you find in a magazine, on Instagram, or sitting on your plate — into a complete recipe you can cook home. Ingredients, step-by-step instructions, prep time, difficulty, and estimated grocery cost. No typing. No guessing. WHY HOME COOKS USE MEALMIMIC — You had something incredible at a restaurant and wish you could make it. — You're staring at a beautiful dish online with no recipe attached. — You're tired of recipe blogs with 2,000-word preambles before the ingredients. — You want a quiet, clean tool — not a feed, not a tutorial, not an ad. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the camera. Frame the dish. 2. MealMimic identifies it in seconds and writes the recipe. 3. Save it to your library. Cook it whenever you're ready. FEATURES — Photo-to-recipe AI trained to recognize dishes from every cuisine. — Serving-size stepper that re-scales every ingredient instantly. — Cook Mode: large type, step-by-step, screen stays on while you cook. — Cook streak: track every recipe you actually make. — Discover feed: opt-in community recipes from real home cooks. — Save, share, and revisit. Your library, always with you. — Cuisine preferences shape what the AI prioritizes. — Clean editorial design. Black on white. No clutter. PRO MealMimic is free to try. Pro unlocks unlimited recipe scans, full library, and the Discover community. Pro is $6.99/month or $39.99/year with a 3-day free trial. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
