ReciMe alternative for people who also want calorie tracking and meal planning
ReciMe is great at one job: grabbing recipes from social. Swoodie does that plus calorie tracking, recipe generation, and shared planning.
ReciMe nails the “save a recipe from TikTok” flow. The limits show up fast: 5 imports per week on free, $59.99/year for unlimited, and no calorie tracking, photo logging, or meal generation. If you want all of that, you end up with three apps.
Swoodie consolidates: save and adapt recipes, generate new ones from what’s in your fridge, track calories from a photo, and plan with a partner — one subscription.
