Looking for a new home after Mealime?
Mealime is closing on 21 October 2026, and if you’ve relied on it for weeknight dinners, that’s a genuine pain. Here’s how My Tomte compares, and how to bring your favourites with you.
Before 21 October: save your favourites
Mealime doesn’t have an export button, so:
- Open each recipe you love and note its name (a screenshot works)
- Write down your household’s dietary preferences
- Once you’re in My Tomte, re-add them: search for the recipe online and import it by link, or snap a photo of your screenshot
