Recipya is a self-hosted recipe manager designed for individuals and families who want to build and maintain their own digital cookbooks. It provides a straightforward interface for collecting recipes, organising them into categories and accessing them from different devices.
Recipes can be imported from websites or created from existing cooking instructions. Recipya also provides tools for digitising paper recipes, making it useful for preserving handwritten family recipes and other material that is not already available online.
The application supports structured recipe collections, measurement conversion and nutritional information. Users can organise recipes into cookbooks, adjust measurements to their preferred system and print recipes when a paper copy is more convenient.
Recipya also provides migration facilities for people moving from other recipe management applications.
The project is undergoing a rewrite in Rust. The established application remains available, while the developer advises that the replacement is not yet ready for production use.
This is free and open source software.
