CookCLI

Plain-text recipes in, a phone-friendly recipe site out: CookCLI reads Cooklang files and serves them with scaling, search, shopping lists, meal plans, and pantry tracking. Write ingredients, cookware, and timers inline. Open any recipe from a phone or laptop on your network. Change the serving count and the quantities recalculate. Search by ingredient or by text. Plan a week in a .menu file and get one shopping list, merged across recipes, grouped by store aisle from your own aisle configuration, with pantry items already subtracted. The pantry file holds quantities, expiry dates, and low-stock thresholds. Ask which items are depleted or expiring, or which dishes you can cook right now, near matches included. In the terminal, print any recipe as Cooklang, JSON, or Markdown, run template-driven reports, and let a doctor command check your files. Import a recipe from a web page with an OpenAI API key. Switch on sign-in so everyone can browse but only signed-in users can edit recipes, the pantry, or the shopping list. A documented HTTP API feeds other tools. The whole collection also builds into a static website. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Tandoor screenshot thumbnail

Tandoor

The deep end of self-hosted recipe management: Tandoor Recipes is a Django/Vue application that replaces Paprika, AnyList, and ad-choked recipe sites with a database you control. Import is where most people start: paste any URL and Tandoor scrapes schema.org markup for ingredients, instructions, images, times, and nutrition; bulk-paste URLs for batch import; or migrate wholesale from Mealie, Paprika, Nextcloud Cookbook, Pepperplate, and other managers with built-in importers. The structured recipe editor tracks ingredients individually, which is what powers everything downstream: full-text search with trigram similarity, a "what can I make with what's in the fridge" ingredient search, automatic nutrition via OpenFoodFacts, and shopping lists that merge duplicate ingredients across recipes, convert units, scale by servings, and sort by your supermarket's actual aisle layout. The weekly meal planner is drag-and-drop, feeds shopping lists automatically, exports to your calendar, and shows a nutritional summary for the week. Multi-user support comes with a granular permission system - shared household cookbooks, private recipes, even secret ones - and shopping lists sync in real time so two people can shop simultaneously. A full REST API integrates with Home Assistant and Grocy. For households serious about cooking, Tandoor's depth is unmatched.

Norish

Planning weekly dinners across a busy household becomes effortless with Norish, a real-time recipe manager, meal planner, and smart grocery list platform that captures dishes from any link, video, or cookbook photo. Families and roommates can paste a food blog URL, drop in a YouTube Short, Instagram Reel, or TikTok link, or snap up to ten photos of handwritten recipe cards to generate a clean, structured dish with automatic tags, cuisines, and allergen alerts. When you drag meals onto the shared household calendar or sync your schedule over CalDAV, every ingredient flows into a live grocery list that remembers which supermarket aisle or store each item belongs to and automatically excludes staples already sitting in your pantry inventory. Splitting up in the supermarket aisles works seamlessly because checked-off items disappear on your partner's phone screen the instant you tap them, even across fifteen supported interface languages. In the kitchen, step-by-step cooking mode keeps your screen awake, embeds countdown timers directly inside preparation steps, links fractional ingredient quantities to the exact step where they are used, and scales servings or swaps between metric and US measurements with a single tap. Automatic macro calculations powered by USDA FoodData Central and CIQUAL databases break down calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat per serving.

HomeHub screenshot thumbnail

HomeHub

HomeHub gives a household one private page for the everyday coordination that usually scatters across chat threads, fridge notes, and five separate apps. Pin shared notes where everyone sees them, drop files into the shared cloud for the house, and keep one shopping list the whole family edits, with suggestions drawn from what you bought before. Chores become a shared checklist, the calendar holds the dates that matter, and a who's-home view answers the question every family group chat asks in the evening. The expense tracker follows family spending and handles recurring bills like the milk, the newspaper, and subscriptions, while the recipe book and expiry tracker keep the kitchen honest. Small utilities round it out: download media straight to the server, shorten URLs, compress PDFs, generate QR codes, and check the weather without leaving the hub. Every feature toggles on or off in one config file, themes recolor the interface, and there is no account system at all, because the hub trusts your home network instead of a password database. It runs happily on a Raspberry Pi, installs as a PWA on phones, and keeps uploads, media, and data in mounted folders you can back up with any file tool.

Grocy screenshot thumbnail

Grocy

Grocy is a household management system, bringing ERP-grade inventory tracking to kitchens, pantries, and homes worldwide. The stock management system tracks products with expiration dates, best-before dates, and opened tracking, while barcode scanning via USB readers or device cameras with Open Food Facts product lookup enables rapid item entry. Minimum stock amounts trigger automatic shopping list entries so frequently used products never run out, and multiple shopping lists can be maintained and shared across household members. Recipe management links ingredients directly to stock inventory, showing at-a-glance fulfillment status and a Due Score that highlights recipes best suited for consuming items approaching expiration. The meal planner organizes daily meals across customizable time periods and adds all missing ingredients to shopping lists with one click. Chore tracking schedules recurring household tasks with assignment to specific members, due date tracking, and completion history logging. Battery management monitors charge cycles for household devices with configurable reminder intervals. Custom fields and userfields extend any entity with additional data, while feature flags disable unused modules to simplify the interface. The RESTful API with integrated Swagger UI at the /api endpoint exposes every operation the web frontend uses, enabling third-party integrations with home automation systems.

OpenFamily screenshot thumbnail

OpenFamily

Your family's shopping list, calendar, chores, meal plan, and budget share one home in OpenFamily, a self-hosted organizer that replaces subscription family apps with software you control. At the store, everyone ticks items off the same shopping list, with automatic categories, prices, reusable templates, and a store mode that groups items by category, and every phone updates instantly. At home, recurring tasks with three priority levels go to a specific family member, and in Pocket money, approved chores earn points that convert to payouts and savings goals. The calendar offers a monthly view per member, handles recurring and all-day appointments with up to five reminders each, follows Google, Outlook, or iCloud calendars by address, imports .ics files, and publishes its own iCal feed. Recipes can be found by typing the ingredients you already have, then dropped into a weekly meal plan. At month's end, the budget shows recurring income and expenses, per-category limits, charts, and a Kakeibo view. A kiosk display turns a wall tablet into a read-only board of today's schedule, meals, tasks, and who's where, alongside sticky notes from the family. Member profiles store allergies, vaccines, and emergency contacts, and parent and child roles keep the budget read-only for kids. Mealie, Tandoor, Home Assistant, Grocy, Nextcloud, and Immich connect in one click, and an optional AI assistant handles plain-sentence requests.
