No account needed — start swiping in seconds
Step 1
Find Recipes by Ingredient, Diet, or Allergy
Search by ingredient, or tap a meal type — quick meal, vegetarian, vegan, dessert, drink. Filter by allergy, or by the equipment already in your kitchen.
Step 2
Invite Your Partner With a QR Code
No app to download, no account to create — they scan the code and they're swiping with you in seconds.
Step 3
Swipe Recipes Together Until You Match
If you both swipe right on the same recipe, it's a match.
Step 4
Save Your Recipes to a Meal Plan or Shopping List
No copying recipes by hand — save every match in one tap, and choose exactly where each one goes.
Step 5
Get an Automatically Generated Shopping List
Set portions per recipe, uncheck what you already have at home and we build your shopping list.
Searching "swipe meals," "recipe swipe app," or "what to cook with my partner"? That's exactly what MealMatcher does — swipe together, match, and cook.
Stop asking "what's for dinner?"

Can I search for recipes using ingredients I already have?+
Yes. Type any ingredient into the search bar — like chicken, potato, or onion — and MealMatcher builds your swipe deck from recipes that have at least one of the ingredients, so you're never stuck wondering what to make with what's already in your kitchen.
Does MealMatcher create a shopping list automatically?+
Yes. Once you match on a recipe, choose Shopping List as the destination and MealMatcher adds every ingredient for you — just set your portions and uncheck anything you already have at home.
Can I filter recipes by allergy, like nut-free or dairy-free?+
Yes. MealMatcher lets you filter by allergy and diet, including nut-free and milk-free, alongside meal types like vegetarian, vegan, and quick meals.
Can I adjust how many portions a recipe makes?+
Yes. Every matched recipe has a portion stepper, so you can scale ingredient quantities up or down before adding it to your shopping list.
Does my partner need to download an app to join?+
No. Your partner scans a QR code or opens a shared link in their browser — no app store, no download, and no account required to start swiping with you.
Can I use MealMatcher for more than dinner — like snacks or dessert?+
Yes. Beyond main courses, MealMatcher covers snacks, desserts, drinks, and quick meals, so you can match on more than just tonight's dinner.
Do I need to register to save my recipes in a shopping list or meal planner?+
Yes. While you don't need an account to join a Meal Matcher session, you do need to create a free account to save recipes, create shopping lists, or use the meal planner.
