Moving on from Mealime?
Mealime is closing on October 21. If it was how you planned dinners and built your grocery list, here’s what happens next, and where Daphne might fit.
What’s happening with Mealime

From Mealime’s own notice at mealime.com/closing.
Before the 21st, it’s worth writing down the names of the dinners your household actually asks for. The recipes will still exist in Meals Hub, but your saved list and meal history won’t.
Where Daphne fits
Daphne does the part of the week Mealime helped with: what’s for dinner, and what to buy for it. It goes a step further at the store.
- Dinners picked for youFrom Daphne’s own library of simple recipes, matched to your time, your kitchen, your allergies and how you eat. Every one comes with short steps to make it.
- A list from your store’s real shelvesEvery item is a real product at your store with its real price, sized to the people you feed and kept under your weekly budget.
- Bring your favoritesSave the recipes your household loves and Daphne puts their ingredients on your list. That’s part of Premium, and free for everyone during the pilot.
- Cleaner picks, explainedEach product gets a score from its own ingredients and nutrition label, so the cleaner option on the shelf is easy to spot.
To be upfront: Daphne works with Kroger and its family of stores (Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Harris Teeter, Smith’s, Fry’s and others), and it isn’t out yet. If you shop at Safeway, Albertsons or another Albertsons Companies store, Meals Hub in your store’s app is probably the closer fit.
