What people usually ask before getting started.
Who is MyMealVault for?▼
MyMealVault is built for busy adults who want cooking at home to feel more manageable. It is especially useful for people who save recipes constantly or want to cook more often. Learn more about why we built it and who it's for.
Can I use my own recipes?▼
Yes. You can add recipes manually, paste text, upload files, and bring in recipes from links when supported. Your vault is built around the recipes you actually want to keep and cook.
Does this work with recipes from social media?▼
Yes. You can save recipes from TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, and recipe websites by sharing to MyMealVault on mobile or pasting the link on web. When a post does not include enough recipe detail, paste the text, upload a screenshot, or open the original recipe page instead.
How does AI fit into MyMealVault?▼
We do not use AI to invent recipes and present them as the heart of the experience. Cooking and food are deeply human, and we believe great meals should still come from people, traditions, and trusted sources. Where AI helps is in making recipes easier to use, for example by organizing ingredients and steps, improving structure, adapting recipes you already saved with AI recipe remix, and supporting features like auto-generating a weekly meal plan from recipes you already saved.
Can MyMealVault auto-generate a weekly meal plan?▼
Yes. When auto-generate is enabled in your household preferences, MyMealVault can build a weekly meal plan from recipes in your vault using AI. You can add optional special requests, include side dishes, review the plan, and regenerate if you want a different mix. See the help article on auto-generating a weekly meal plan with AI for step-by-step instructions.
What does recipe enhancement do?▼
Recipe enhancement helps clean up and organize what you already saved. It can improve structure, clarify ingredients and steps, estimate times, add useful tags, and support other quality-of-life improvements so recipes are easier to follow and cook from.
Can I customize how planning works?▼
Yes. You can shape planning around your household, including things like how many dinners you want, dietary needs, exclusions, and your preferred start of week. The planner is there to support your routine, not lock you into one.
What are Collections?▼
Collections are groups you create inside your recipe vault, like weeknight favorites, holiday menus, or kid-friendly meals. Add recipes from a recipe detail screen or with multi-select, browse a collection with the same search and filters as your vault, and plan your week from a collection when you want a focused set of options. Collection covers are a collage of recipe photos in that group.
Can I export my recipes?▼
Yes, with Premium. You can export your entire recipe library as a ZIP of PDFs (one file per recipe) or as structured JSON for backup and portability. Start an export from Settings in the web or mobile app. We email you a secure download link when the export is ready.
Is it free to start?▼
Yes. You can start on the Free tier and use the core workflow. Premium is $5 per month if you want unlimited recipes.
