Switching apps
Your recipes deserve a home that still works.
Yummly shut down. Samsung Food went Samsung-first. Paprika charges per device. Whatever you're leaving, here's exactly how to bring your library to Halite. And everything you save here exports back out any time, so you're never stuck again. Leaving Mealime? It closes October 21, 2026; here's the guide. Coming from ReciMe instead? See the full comparison.
After Yummly
Yummly shut down on December 20, 2024, and it closed without a bulk-export tool. For most people that means the library itself is gone. That's the part worth being honest about: no app can pull recipes out of a service that no longer exists. What Halite can do is make rebuilding fast enough that it doesn't feel like starting over.
Rebuild your library in an afternoon
- Paste the links you remember. Most Yummly recipes came from the open web. Paste any URL, even a "5 weeknight dinners" roundup, and Halite pulls out every recipe on the page, ready to cook.
- Feed it whatever survived. Screenshots, printouts, a notes file, texts from the group chat: snap a photo or paste raw text and Halite sorts out the title, ingredients, and steps.
- Let it fill in what Yummly did. Nutrition estimates, allergen flags, and an aisle-sorted grocery list come back automatically on every recipe you add.
Leaving Samsung Food
Whisk was a great recipe keeper. Since the Samsung Food rebrand, longtime users have reported a browser extension that no longer clips reliably and headline features tied to Samsung appliances. If you don't own the fridge, you're not the customer anymore. Your recipe box shouldn't depend on your kitchen hardware.
Move your recipes over
- Re-clip from the source. Recipes you saved in Samsung Food mostly point at the open web. Open one, copy its original link, paste it into Halite. Done. The browser extension clips any page in one click, and it works.
- No link? Use the screen. For recipes with no source URL, screenshot them and Halite reads the image, rebuilding the recipe, ingredients and all.
- Bring the household. Share a collection with one link; whoever opens it can save the lot. No sign-in needed to read, no specific phone brand needed ever.
Switching from Paprika
Paprika earned its reputation. But it sells a separate copy for every platform, and its meal planner doesn't talk to its grocery list. Halite is one account on every device you own, with the pieces connected: build tonight's menu in the prep tray, tap once, and every ingredient lands on an aisle-sorted shopping list. There's a pantry too, so staples you keep on hand don't land on the list as duplicates.
Import your whole library (this one's easy)
- Export from Paprika. In Paprika: Settings → Export → Paprika Recipe Format. You get a single file with everything in it.
- Import into Halite. Add recipe → Import → drop in the export file. Recipes and photos land, organized and searchable.
- Try the part Paprika can't do. Open any imported recipe and ask for a change in plain English, like "make it dairy-free," and the ingredients rewrite themselves. Your original stays saved as a version.
