Who should choose Vivio?
Users frustrated by fragmented apps
You are tired of switching between Mealime, a budget app, a calendar and a trip planner. Vivio centralises everything.
Families and couples
You want to share a meal plan, a shopping list and a calendar with your partner or family, without multiple subscriptions.
Privacy-conscious users
Your data is hosted in Europe, GDPR-compliant, and never sold on. The free plan shows ads; they go away as soon as you move to any paid plan.
Frequently asked questions
Does Vivio offer French recipes?
Vivio ships no recipe catalogue: you write your own, import the ones you find online from their link, or have Vivio AI draft them. The difference with Mealime lies elsewhere: everything is in French, quantities are in grams and litres, prices in euros, and nothing is translated from an American context.
Can I track my macros in Vivio?
Vivio offers full nutritional tracking with macronutrients (proteins, carbs, fats) and calories per meal and per day. You can set your personalised nutritional goals.
Does Vivio work in French?
Yes. The interface, recipes and customer support are in French, unlike Mealime which remains mostly in English. Vivio is bilingual French / English: you pick the language in your settings.
How do I migrate from Mealime to Vivio?
Create your free account and add your favourite recipes one by one to Vivio. There is no automatic recipe import. If you get stuck, write to us from inside the app: every message is read and answered.
