Is Vitalmint free to use?
Yes! Vitalmint is free to download and includes weekly meal plans, AI-generated recipes, and home screen widgets. Premium unlocks unlimited recipes, recipe imports from websites, grocery lists, cooking mode with live activities, and the ability to add custom photos to your recipes.
What devices does Vitalmint support?
Vitalmint works on iPhone and iPad running iOS 26.0 or iPadOS 26.0 or later. The app is optimized for both screen sizes, with a beautiful layout that adapts to your device. It also supports widgets for your home screen and lock screen.
Do I need Apple Intelligence to use Vitalmint?
No, Apple Intelligence is not required! Vitalmint works on any compatible device. However, certain features like AI recipe generation, smart grocery list categorization, and enhanced ingredient matching for recipe imports require a device with Apple Intelligence support.
Can I import my own recipes?
Yes! You can import recipes from any website—just paste the URL and Vitalmint will extract the ingredients and instructions. You can also create recipes manually from scratch. With premium, you can add custom photos to personalize your recipe collection.
Can I edit recipes after creating or importing them?
Absolutely! Every recipe in Vitalmint is fully editable, whether it's AI-generated, imported from a website, or manually created. You can modify ingredients, adjust instructions, update nutrition information, change prep time and servings, and add your own personal notes at any time.
How does the AI recipe generation work?
Vitalmint uses Apple Intelligence to generate personalized recipes based on your profile, including your dietary restrictions, cuisine preferences, protein and calorie targets, cooking skills, and household size. You can generate recipes with custom prompts to specify exactly what you want, and even request modifications to recipes after they're generated.
Is my data private and secure?
Absolutely! Your data is stored using SwiftData and synced securely through your personal iCloud account, so it's accessible across all your devices. Apple Intelligence runs entirely on-device, so recipe generation happens locally on your iPhone or iPad. We don't collect any data—not even anonymous analytics. Your recipes, meal plans, and personal information remain completely private to you.
Can I access my recipes and meal plans on multiple devices?
Yes! Your recipes, meal plans, and settings automatically sync across all your Apple devices through iCloud. Create a recipe on your iPhone and it's instantly available on your iPad, and vice versa. Everything stays in sync seamlessly, so you can plan meals anywhere and cook from any device.
What languages does Vitalmint support?
Vitalmint is available in English, Dutch (Nederlands), and Spanish (Español). The entire app interface is localized in these languages, and AI recipe generation works in your selected language, creating recipes with locally-appropriate ingredients and cooking styles for your region.
How do Live Activities work in cooking mode?
When you start cooking a recipe, Vitalmint displays Live Activities on your lock screen showing your current cooking step and any active timers. This keeps you updated on your cooking progress even when you're not actively using the app, and makes it easy to jump back in with a quick tap. This feature requires premium.
Can I customize my nutrition targets?
Yes! Vitalmint calculates personalized protein and calorie targets based on your profile using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, but you can adjust these targets manually in your settings. Set your estimated daily intake from meals and snacks outside the app, and Vitalmint will use these targets to guide AI recipe generation and meal planning.
How much does premium cost?
Vitalmint Premium is available as a subscription with flexible options to fit your needs. Pricing varies by region and subscription length. You can view current pricing and start a free trial directly in the app. Premium unlocks unlimited recipes, recipe imports, grocery lists, cooking mode with live activities, and custom recipe photos.
What dietary preferences does Vitalmint support?
Vitalmint supports a wide range of dietary preferences including Vegetarian, Vegan, Keto, Paleo, Mediterranean, Gluten-Free, Low-Carb, Halal, and Kosher. You can also specify food allergies in your profile. All AI-generated recipes and meal plans will respect your selected dietary preferences and allergies, ensuring every meal matches your lifestyle and health requirements.
How does hands-free cooking mode work?
Hands-free cooking mode uses your device's proximity sensor to let you navigate through recipe steps without touching your screen. Simply cover the front-facing camera at the top of your device with your hand to pause and dim the screen, then uncover it to advance to the next step. This keeps your hands clean and focused on cooking while you work through each instruction. You can enable or disable this feature in your profile settings.
