Questions, answered
Everything about Mealum — your questions, answered.
№01
What is Mealum?
Mealum is a mobile app that plans your family's meals for the whole week. It builds a personalized 7-day menu around your tastes, household size, kitchen equipment and grocery budget, then turns it into recipes with step-by-step instructions, an automatic shopping list, cost estimates and calorie tracking. Instead of deciding what to cook every evening, you open the app and the week is already planned.
№02
Is Mealum available on iOS and Android?
Mealum is coming soon to both iPhone and Android. When it launches, your account will work on any device you sign in to, so your meal plan, saved recipes and shopping list stay in sync — handy when one person plans and another does the shopping. Leave your email on this page and we'll let you know the moment the app appears in the App Store and Google Play.
№03
How does Mealum build my meal plan?
When you first open the app, you answer a few short questions about your household, food preferences, allergies, dietary restrictions, kitchen equipment (oven, air fryer, multicooker) and weekly grocery budget. Mealum uses this information to create a personalized 7-day meal plan tailored to your needs, preferences and budget.
№04
Can I replace a dish I don't like?
Of course! You can replace any meal with another suggested recipe or choose one from your saved recipes. Your weekly meal plan, shopping list and estimated grocery costs update automatically to reflect the changes.
№05
How is the grocery cost estimated?
Mealum estimates the cost of your weekly meal plan based on the ingredients needed and the grocery store you select in your region. You can switch between available stores to compare estimated totals. Actual prices may vary depending on promotions, product availability and local pricing.
№06
Does Mealum consider allergies and diets?
Yes! Mealum takes your allergies, excluded ingredients and dietary preferences — such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or low-carb — into account when creating your meal plan and suggesting replacements. Please always check product labels and ingredients yourself, especially if you have food allergies. Mealum helps you plan your meals but does not replace professional medical advice.
№07
How does AI calorie analysis work?
Simply take a photo of your meal or describe what you ate in a few words. Mealum uses AI to analyze the food and estimate its calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates. You can review the results and add the meal to your calorie diary to track your daily intake.
№08
Can I add my own recipes?
Yes! You can create recipes manually or import them from websites and supported social media links. You can also use the Share feature to send a recipe directly to Mealum. Your saved recipes are available for future use, including when replacing dishes in your weekly meal plan.
№09
Does Mealum create a shopping list automatically?
Yes! Mealum automatically generates a shopping list based on your weekly meal plan. The list includes the ingredients you need for your selected recipes and updates whenever you replace a dish, making grocery shopping easier and more organized.
№10
Which languages are supported?
Mealum is available in English, Polish and German. English is the primary language, and the app automatically adapts its language based on your region.
