How Mello works
One calm loop: plan, shop, cook, repeat. Here's what that looks like week to week.
1. A gentle setup
Tell Mello your diet preference and anything you avoid. It takes under a minute and you can skip it entirely — nothing is locked behind it.
2. Pick meals you'll actually cook
Browse the recipe library by meal, prep time or diet tag. Every card shows how long it takes, so you can match the recipe to the evening you're having.
3. Fill the seven-day planner
Tap a slot to assign a meal, or drag a meal from one day to another when plans change. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and optional snacks — leave what you like empty.
4. Let the list build itself
Ingredients from planned meals flow into your shopping list, grouped by aisle with duplicates merged. Add anything extra by hand and tick items off as you shop.
5. Cook, and use what's left
With Premium, log what's in your pantry with a use-by date. Mello quietly shows what needs cooking soon and how much you managed to use.
